Honkai: Star Rail version 3.2 is just hours away, and you can pre-load the update now.



HoYoverse will be launching the 3.2 update to coincide with Honkai: Star Rail’s 2nd anniversary, and will add limited-time events, anniversary rewards, a new trailblazing mission, and, most importantly, two new 5-star characters to the game’s gacha.


When 3.2 drops and maintenance ends, Castorice and Anaxa will become available. Castorice will be featured in a banner until April 30, and Anaxa will be from April 30 until May 21, when this version ends.

Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 will also feature rerun banners for the 5-star characters Fugue, Jiaoqiu, and Acheron, and the 4-star characters Pela, Gallagher and Lynx.


When Does Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 Launch?

Thanks to a helpful countdown from Beebom, you can see just how long you have left to wait before Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 goes live.

However, there will be maintenance before you can start playing, which is expected to last around 5 hours, and players will be gifted 300 Stellar Jades as compensation for the wait, the usual 60 per hour of maintenance.

Check the table to see when 3.2 maintenance starts and ends for you.
