HoYoverse has revealed the time and date for an upcoming Special Program livestream detailing the Honkai: Star Rail Version 1.2 update. Honkai: Star Rail continues to be a global success for HoYoverse as fans await the second official update for the space-fantasy RPG, and the developers plan to share new information in the upcoming livestream.Although Honkai: Star Rail is a turn-based RPG, players can still expect updates regularly throughout the year with new content, playable characters, and limited-time events. HoYoverse reiterated its commitment to post-launch support after more than 20 million players entered the world of Honkai: Star Rail during launch week. Version 1.1 introduced playable character Silver Wolf and several new events this past June, and Version 1.2 is gearing up to introduce more new content later this month. The official Honkai: Star Rail Twitter account confirms that the Version 1.2 Special Program will be held this week. The upcoming live broadcast will be held on Saturday, July 8 at 7:30 AM Eastern Time. In the same Twitter post, HoYoverse revealed the official title for Version 1.2 as "Even Immortality Ends." Titles for official Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin Impact updates typically allude to potential lore implications that players will soon discover in the main story, and HoYoverse will soon reveal what will be included in the update. Moreover, HoYoverse will likely distribute Stellar Jade redemption codes throughout the duration of the broadcast.
Recent Honkai: Star Rail leaks suggest HoYoverse will reveal a new weekly boss during the Special Program. Additionally, Stellaron Hunter Kafka is expected to be introduced as a playable character after weeks of teases on HoYoverse's official channels. If leaks continue to be accurate, new login bonuses in Version 1.2 may give players a bounty of Star Rail Special Passes, which may be used to summon characters from Event Warps.
The new Special Program should be an exciting show for active Honkai: Star Rail players as HoYoverse continues to improve the popular title and introduce new content. This upcoming broadcast also allows HoYoverse to promote good will with its community by giving away free rewards. Further, HoYoverse's approach to its global community and post-launch content helps facilitate even greater success in Honkai: Star Rail's immediate future.
Some of Honkai: Star Rail's content and features still have room for improvement, including the Memory of Chaos endgame activity. The Version 1.2 Special Program could directly address some of the criticism players may still have since HoYoverse normally brings important bug fixes and adjustments in each of its game updates.
Honkai: Star Rail is available now for Android, iOS, and PC, A PlayStation 5 version launches in Q4 2023.
