With Honkai: Star Rail 4.4 coming to an end and with the defeat of the lord ravager Asat Pramad, it’s time for the trailblazer and crew to continue to their next destination, or in this case, a well-deserved vacation. As Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.5 “To Roll the Stars in Astropolis“ is officially on the horizon, our next stop is Astropolis, where we will be meeting old friends and enjoying a well-deserved vacation. Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.5 “To Roll the Stars in Astropolis” is officially launching August 26th for PS5, PC, and mobile.
Honkai: Star Rail 4.5 is the next upcoming update for the game, and with it brings lots of new things for players to enjoy and continues the story of not only Planarcadia but also of two other characters we haven’t seen since Version 2.0: Robin and Aventurine. The new planet the trailblazer will get to enjoy is Astroplois, a vacation oasis where beaches, racing, and relaxation go hand in hand. But unfortunately, it is not all sunshine and rainbows, as the trailblazer will still have to deal with the aftermath of the defeat of lord ravager Asat Pramad and the reawakening of Oroboros as it attempts to devour Planarcadia, so we must save the planet and stop the Aeon from consuming it for good.
In the first half of version 4.5, we will have the first new character: a new version of a pre-existing character, Robin, now in her new form, Robin Summertto. Robin is now a wind remembrance character, so those who have invested in remembrance teams now have a new character to join the team. Along with her, she will receive a light cone, Rise and Sing, which will be best-in-slot for her if you want the best Robin. Along with Robin, we will be seeing the rerun of Hyacine and her light cone, so if you don’t have her or are new to the game, she is a must-pick up for late game and overall sustain.
And no to the second phase of the update, as it will start September 16th and run through October, and it brings a familiar face in the form of Aventurine and his new form, Aventurine Waveflair. Aventurine is now a quantum elation character and will do best in Elation teams for those who have invested in the team. With him comes his lightcone, Summer Rides the Surf, which will be his best-in-slot lightcone for those who want the best version of him. And alongside him, the rerun of Ashveil will take place for those seeking to pick him up, as he is a really good follow-up character and an overall good pick.
Along with Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.5 “To Roll the Stars in Astropolis,” we got the official timeframe of when the Honkai: Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero collab will be taking place, as not much is known about what it means; all we do know is that it will start in the winter of 2026. All in all, version 4.5 will be bringing the trailblazer to a whole new planet for a vacation, all the while trying to stop Oroboros from consuming all of Planarcadia. New and old faces will be making an appearance in the next update, and truths will finally be revealed as Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.5 “To Roll the Stars in Astropolis” is officially set for August 26th for PlayStation 5, Pc and mobile.
