As Honkai: Star Rail’s first anniversary approaches in April 2025, new leaks have surfaced, giving us a glimpse of what players can expect during the celebration. The game, released in 2023, has become a major HoYoverse hit alongside Genshin Impact, and the upcoming anniversary promises exciting events and rewards! 🎮
What to Expect for the Anniversary Event 🎁
Leaks from the Honkai: Star Rail Leaks subreddit have shared important details about the anniversary rewards. Here’s what we know:
- Freebies: There will be plenty of free rewards, but rumors about free copies of the 5-star characters Anaxa and Castorice have been debunked.
- Stellar Jade & Primogems: Like previous anniversaries, players can expect to earn tons of Stellar Jade and Primogems, which are crucial for summoning new characters and progressing in the game.
However, this year’s anniversary celebration may aim to make up for last year’s disappointment when players were expecting more free rewards. Some fans were left disappointed last year, and HoYoverse might be looking to address that with a more rewarding event this time. 💎
Jing Yuan & Silver Wolf on the Standard Banner? Not So Fast… 🚫
The leak also addressed previous rumors about Jing Yuan and Silver Wolf joining the standard banner. According to the leak, this is unlikely to happen anytime soon, though other leakers have hinted that HoYoverse is adjusting the 5-star characters featured in the standard pool. As a result, the situation is still fluid, and these leaks should be taken with caution. 🤔
- Seele, Blade, Jingliu, and Luocha are being discussed as potential characters for the standard banner, as they haven’t been featured in a long time.
- Adding Jing Yuan and Silver Wolf after their recent reruns might disappoint players who already invested in these characters. 😕
What’s the Hype for the Anniversary? 🎉
Despite some mixed opinions, fans are still anticipating the usual event lineup, and the extra Stellar Jade will be especially valuable for those hoping to summon Anaxa and Castorice—two of the most anticipated new characters in the game.
- Castorice is expected to be featured in the first banner cycle of Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.2, which should launch around April 8.
- Anaxa will likely be featured in the second half of the update, giving players more chances to get their hands on her. 🌟
