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.
