Honkai: Star Rail Leak Teases Two New Characters for Version 3.3 Update

A fresh Honkai: Star Rail leak is creating buzz among fans, hinting at the arrival of two new characters in the upcoming Version 3.3 update. Since the introduction of Amphoreus, HoYoverse has been steadily expanding the game’s roster with exciting new characters and long-anticipated content. Version 3.0 brought fans face-to-face with The Herta’s true form, along with new Amphoreus characters like Aglaea, Phainon, and Tribbie. Now, it seems that even more additions are on the horizon.

What We Know About the Version 3.3 Characters

According to well-known Honkai: Star Rail leaker Uncle Guoba, Cipher and Hyacine are the two featured characters expected to debut in Version 3.3, which is anticipated to launch on May 23.

Early leaks suggest some intriguing details about their abilities and roles within the game.

• Hyacine is rumored to belong to the Remembrance Path, utilizing a unique Memosprite mechanic. Leaks indicate her Memosprite will take the form of a white horse, hinting at a potentially elegant or mystical theme surrounding her character.
• Cipher was originally speculated to be a Damage-over-Time (DoT) focused character. However, later rumors suggest that her kit might have been reworked or reassigned to another rumored character, Hysilens. This leaves Cipher's exact role in Star Rail still somewhat of a mystery.

Interestingly, neither Cipher nor Hyacine have made official in-game appearances in the storylines up to Version 3.0, making their introductions even more anticipated.

Amphoreus and the Growing Honkai: Star Rail Universe

The Amphoreus expansion has been a game-changer for Honkai: Star Rail, introducing not just new characters but also new gameplay mechanics. The world of Amphoreus introduced the "Chrysos Heirs", a group that fans have compared to Honkai Impact 3rd’s Flamechasers due to their similar designs and thematic ties. This group has quickly become a fan favorite, offering plenty of fresh faces and complex backstories.

Amphoreus also brought a new playable class path, Remembrance, which utilizes Memosprite summons to enhance combat strategies. This addition has diversified gameplay, making battles more dynamic and giving players new ways to approach challenges.

What’s Next for Honkai: Star Rail?

While players eagerly await the arrival of Cipher and Hyacine, HoYoverse has plenty of content to keep fans engaged. Version 3.0 features an extensive Trailblaze Mission centered around the Astral Express’ journey to Amphoreus, introducing several characters that will become playable in future updates.

Looking ahead, Version 3.1 is set to introduce limited five-star characters Mydei and Tribbie, continuing the post-launch expansion of Amphoreus. With the steady stream of new characters, worlds, and mechanics, Honkai: Star Rail fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming months.

As HoYoverse continues to build on the rich universe of Honkai: Star Rail, the upcoming Version 3.3 update is shaping up to be an exciting milestone. Stay tuned for more official announcements as the release date approaches!
