The recent Version 1.4 update introduced Star Rail's popular "Aetherium Wars" event, as well as two new five-star characters in Jingliu and Topaz. Now, fans are getting ready to learn all about the game's next patch.
Ahead of the upcoming Special Program broadcast, HoYoverse has already started to reveal elements of the Version 1.5 update for Honkai: Star Rail. Preceding the launch of Version 1.5, the developer would reveal two five-star characters joining Honkai: Star Rail's roster with Huohuo and Argenti. The patch will also introduce a new four-star character from the Xianzhou Luofu with the Ten-Lords Commission's Hanya. Now, Honkai: Star Rail is gearing up for the big reveals about the Version 1.5 update later this week.
An official announcement posted to Honkai: Star Rail's Twitter account has revealed the date and time for the Version 1.5 Special Program. The broadcast for the update, titled "The Crepuscule Zone," is currently scheduled to air on November 3 at 19:30 (UTC+8). The broadcast is set to feature a plethora of new information about the game, ranging from detailing the characters appearing in the update to the lineup of events players can look forward to. Honkai: Star Rail codes will also be given out during the broadcast with players able to claim up to 300 Stellar Jades.
While HoYoverse has yet to officially reveal Version 1.5's new additions, rumors and leaks have already teased some of the upcoming content within the update. Honkai: Star Rail's next patch will reportedly feature three main events with "A Foxian Tale of the Haunted," "Boulder Town Knack Exhibition Tournament," and "Stellar Shadowseeker." The update is also expected to introduce a new World within Honkai: Star Rail's Simulated Universe game mode, adding a pair of Planar Ornaments for players to acquire. Honkai: Star Rail's Version 1.5 is currently expected to launch on November 15.
The newly revealed broadcast date for Honkai: Star Rail's Version 1.5 Special Program looks to be a busy day for fans of HoYoverse.

The Genshin Impact livestream was previously postponed by HoYoverse, believed to be connected with the death of a major public figure in China.
