A new announcement from Honkai: Star Rail has confirmed several changes planned for the lineup of events in Version 1.3. HoYoverse would reveal one of the update's main events, the previously mentioned "Aurum Alley's Hustle and Bustle," will feature a change in its lineup, with the entire event's content available following its launch on August 31st. The Simulated Universe's "Swarm Disaster" event will now begin on September 6th with its content permanently available. Star Rail's Planar Fissure event featuring double rewards will also see its timeslot changed, now running from September 15th through September 22nd.
The shift in Honkai: Star Rail's events come as the sci-fi RPG will introduce even more new content to the game outside the new characters and events. Version 1.3 will include a pair of new Stagnant Shadow challenges for Honkai: Star Rail, giving players access to valuable materials for the game's newest characters. The RPG is also gearing up for its technical test for Star Rail's PS5 version, with the test period launching next week and the PS5 version expected to release in Q4 2023.
Honkai: Star Rail has already seen massive success in the months since its release, following in the footsteps of its predecessor in Genshin Impact. The highly-anticipated RPG would report a playerbase of more than 20 million users within just a day of its launch. Star Rail's gacha banners have also seen similarly enormous revenue numbers to Genshin Impact as well, most recently with Kafka's banner earning more than 16 million USD in China alone. Version 1.3 will look to maintain the strong momentum HoYoverse's newest RPG has already seen.
Honkai: Star Rail is available now for PC and mobile devices with a PS5 version releasing in Q4 2023.
