Introduction
A new leak from Honkai: Star Rail is potentially teasing two featured characters set to release with the game’s Version 3.3 update. The sci-fi RPG from HoYoverse has steadily introduced a wide array of characters—most notably through its Amphoreus storyline, which has already expanded the game’s roster with many new faces.
The Amphoreus Evolution
Version 3.0 welcomed players to a transformed game experience by introducing The Herta, the true form of the starter character Herta, along with several Amphoreus cast members such as Aglaea, Phainon, and Tribbie. The developer has continually kept fans on their toes by teasing additional characters and expanding the lore behind the “Chrysos Heirs”—HoYoverse’s nod to Honkai Impact 3rd’s popular “Flamechasers.”
In addition, Amphoreus introduced the newest path to the game’s playable classes: Remembrance, which utilizes a unique mechanic known as “Memosprite” summons.
Leak Details for Version 3.3
Recent leaks provided by Honkai: Star Rail leaker Uncle Guoba hint at two new characters coming in Version 3.3:
- Cipher: Previously rumored to be a DoT-oriented character, Cipher’s kit has undergone changes and was later associated with the rumored character Hysilens.
- Hyacine: Expected to debut as a Remembrance character, with early details suggesting her Memosprite will take the form of a white horse.
The update is currently expected to launch on May 23.
Context and Related Updates
While neither Cipher nor Hyacine appeared in Version 3.0’s story, the groundwork has been laid by previous updates. Version 3.0 featured a lengthy Trailblaze Mission surrounding the Astral Express’ arrival to Amphoreus, while Version 3.1 already confirmed limited five-star characters like Mydei and Tribbie in the first post-launch update.
What This Means for Fans
As fans eagerly await the debut of Cipher and Hyacine, these leaks further fuel the excitement surrounding Honkai: Star Rail. With each update, HoYoverse continues to expand its universe, introducing new characters and gameplay mechanics that keep both new and veteran players engaged.
