- Honkai: Star Rail version 2.5 out today!
- Introducing a host of highly anticipated new characters such as Feixiao and Lingsha
- Fans will also be able to enjoy the new Wardance ceremony and the climax of the Shackling Prison story arc.
Honkai: Star Rail fans will be happy to find that midweek isn't as dreary as it is for most of us. That's because version 2.5 of MiHoYo's popular ARPG is finally here! Experience the long-awaited war dance ceremony and more as the latest storyline reaches its climax. So, let's dive into what version 2.5 has to offer!
We talked about the arrival of new characters and the introduction of the War Dance Ceremony right at the end of August. But a quick recap: we will see the arrival of three new characters with the five-star Feixiao, the five-star Lingsha, and finally the four-star Moze. All three have been highly anticipated by fans. There is also the War Dance Ceremony and its variety of events.
But what we didn't get to mention last time is how this latest update will also feature the climax of the Shackling Prison arc. While a special warp event will see the temporary return of five-star characters Robin, Black Swan, and Kafka (not the writer) to the rotation. The second half of version 2.5 will also see the return of the five-star Topaz for a limited time.
All on board
As one of MiHoYo's current “big three” alongside Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero, Honkai: Star Rail has managed to hold its own with its sci-fi setting and large roster. The new conclusion to the story arc and the arrival of some highly anticipated characters, I predict, will only cement that.
But if that still isn’t enough to make you switch sides with MiHoYo, don’t worry. Instead, why not check out our list of the 25 best free-to-play games on iOS and Android for some of the best choices that won’t cost you a dime?
