Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.2 Will Introduce Two New Characters And A Whole Lot More

Robin and Boothill are the newest playable characters on the way to Honkai: Star Rail. The cosmic songstress and cyber cowboy, respectively, are a major part of Version 2.2--named Then Wake to Sleep--which will go live May 8 for the space-fantasy RPG.

In addition to the upcoming characters, the Honkai: Star Rail update will introduce a new Trailblazer mission called The Fool Always Rings Twice and areas like Dreamflux Reef and Penacony Grand Theater. HoYoverse is also promising the opportunity to get five-star characters Topaz and Numby as well as Fu Xuan again with Version 2.2. Robin and Boothill are five-star characters, too.

Honkai: Star Rail will recognize its one-year anniversary with a concert livestream on May 1 on the game's YouTube channel. GameSpot marked this occasion by detailing why Honkai: Star Rail players are sticking with the game, though also noting changes need to be made to the free-to-play RPG.

Earlier this year, Honkai: Star Rail got a 2.0 update that brought three new characters to the game: Black Swan, Sparkle, and Misha. The gacha game comes from the same studio behind Genshin Impact but might appeal more to people who don't have time for open-world titles.
