Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors Honkai Star Rail's next big patch is here, with version 3.3 bringing a host of new characters, areas, and story beats for players to dive into on PS5, PC, and mobile devices. It also brings with it brand-new voice actors for the main character, Trailblazer, with both its male and female voice actors being replaced. The Honkai Star Rail version 3.3 patch notes confirm that Caelus and Stelle – the proper names for the Trailblazer – have had new voice lines added in English, specifically in their Remembrance forms. These new voice lines will play in combat while using the Remembrance form, and in new story missions introduced in version 3.3. Developer HoYoverse also confirmed that future updates will replace the voice lines used in older missions and other forms of the character.

HoYoverse The reason for their replacement seems to be related to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA voice actors strike, as Caleb Yen and Rachael Chau – the voice actors for Trailblazer's male and female variants, respectively – have not participated in recent recording sessions in solidarity. Their absence from those sessions has resulted in the Trailblazer remaining silent in recent updates to the game, and speculation that the two had been replaced started up after a trailer for Hyacine featured an appearance by Caelus which appeared to be voiced by someone other than Yen. You can see the full patch notes for Honkai Star Rail version 3.3 below, or visit the HoYoverse blog to see the full list of adjustments and bug fixes. Honkai Star Rail Version 3.3 Patch Notes 1.

Everything we know about Honkai Star Rail 3.3 new update
Image via: HoYoverse Honkai: Star Rail by HoYoverse continues adding to the game's expansive universe in Version 3.3, dubbed " The Fall at Dawn's Rise ." The update set to put a smile on every gamer's face will open its gates on May 21 with the heavy lifting storyline, two very buzzy five-star characters, and much system upgrades. Let's have a look at these changes and why they matter. Final chapter of the flame chase journey Version 3.3 plays host to the final chapter of the Flame-Chase Journey, drawing players in the thick of the tumultuous conflict amid the Trailblazers and the enigmatic Chyrsos Heirs. Operation Sindoor 'Common sense prevailed': Trump on India-Pak ceasefire on Truth Social 'Pakistan initiated call; both nations agreed to stop military action after direct talks', says India Ceasefire took effect at 5pm; top India, Pak military officials to talk again on May 12 This arc brings forth edge-of-the-seat drama between some soul-touching battles, setting the foundation for what will probably be a major alteration in the grandiose lore of the game. EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT 3.3: Banners, Gacha System Changes, Rewards - Honkai: Star Rail Meet the new five-star heroes: Hyacine and Cipher Two new five-star characters have been added to the roster, each potentially having unique mechanics capable of reshaping modern team compositions. Hyacine is a Wind-type character that adheres to the Path of Remembrance and provides support and sustain. Her summoned companion, Little Ica, heals while dealing damage. Hyacine's ability to increase max HP and restore large amounts of health makes her a strong contender against healers like Luocha or Gallagher, especially in teams built around HP-scaling characters. Cipher, though, belongs to the Path of Nihility and wields the Quantum element. She excels in long engagements, marking her target with the most HP. Cipher would play in torturing a target through accumulating damage and finally unleashing a devastating ultimate based on what the target has so far. Everything You Need To Know About HSR 3.3 Update Changes to the universe One of the major system overhauls arrives with the great expansion to the Divergent Universe mode . It puts in place new rules, challenges, and rewards to breathe life into this roguelike-inspired content. The update is expected to enhance playability and give players new reasons to experiment with team builds. NEW UPDATE!

Honkai Star Rail 3.3 Banners, Release Date and More
Image via: HoYoverse Honkai: Star Rail is gearing up to launch the next major patch, Patch 3.3: The Fall at Dawn's Rise. Set for a May 20, 2025 release date, it will be rolled out simultaneously across regions, with timezone differences being the only exception. Global Release Schedule North America: May 20, 10:00 PM (UTC-5) Europe : May 21, 4:00 AM (UTC+1) Asia : May 21, 11:00 AM (UTC+8) NEW UPDATE! RERUN CHARACTER BANNER ROADMAP FOR 3.3-3.6 | Sunday, Tribbie, Herta - Honkai Star Rail New Faces on the Stage: Hyacine and Cipher by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AI guru Andrew Ng recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around in 2025 Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo A crowning glory of version 3.3 is ushering in the long-awaited away with two heavy-hitters: Hyacine and Cipher. Operation Sindoor 'Pakistan army moving its troops in forward areas': Key takeaways from govt briefing 'Pak used drones, long-range weapons, jets to attack India's military sites' 'Attempted malicious misinformation campaign': Govt calls out Pakistan's propaganda The introduction of Hyacine on the first phase of the update introduces the Wind-type attacker into a battlefield with a great twist under The Remembrance path. She is elegant yet intriguingly involved from a tactical standpoint and targets players who love setting the pace of a war through crowd control and debuffs. Accompanying her banner launch is her signature Light Cone Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky, which boosts her synergy and solidifies the Light Cone's thematic essence of memory and light. Also, Albeit The Herta also returned, a 5-Star Ice attacker, beloved and adored for Erudition burst damage. Together, Supporting them are three 4-Star characters of Misha, Serval, and Natasha, each having a wide array of unique abilities that give them an edge across the various archetypes of teams. Phase 2 takes the spotlight and places it upon the sleek and elusive Quantum-type attacker that is on the path of The Nihility: Cipher. Her style of play is mostly all about the disruption, stealth, and debuff manipulation, which surely can make her a force in teams emphasizing controlled strategies and status effects. Mingling with Cipher is the very popular Aglaea, a Lightning Remembrance concerned with the balance and duality that run throughout this patch. Cipher's banner, Slick and Speedy Steals, will run from June 11 into July 1, and the signature Light Cone for Cipher, Lies Dance on the Breeze, will be featured on the Brilliant Fixation Light Cone Banner during this phase. Version 3.3 Trailer - "The Fall at Dawn's Rise" | Honkai: Star Rail Banners and other details Beyond the banners, version 3.3 ushers in an obvious new gameplay update, featuring an all-new Divergent Universe-hereby called Protean Hero-to promote experimentation through mechanics that reward adaptability and deeper decision-making. What separates version 3.3 from all else is its overarching theme of contrast and transformation. The title The Fall at Dawn's Rise perfectly captures this duality-dawn meaning beginnings, and fall pointing toward decay or endings. Players deciding to spend their Stellar Jades will find a compelling argument in subscribing to the playstyles of Hyacine and Cipher. Whether tying Chaos Magic crowd control into Quantum synergy or going all out with newly introduced debuff mechanics, these characters open the gates for great versatility. 3.3 SPECIAL PROGRAM: BANNERS, EVENTS, CYRENE, GACHA UPDATES & MORE - Honkai: Star Rail Even when the idea of pulling is out of the question, the very presence of new Light Cones, expanded storylines, and endgame improvements in version 3.3 makes the patch one of the most ambitious in Honkai: Star Rail. It isn't just about new characters; it's about unleashing a powerfully intricate, beautiful, and thematically resonant universe.
