HoYoVerse shared the 2.0 Honkai: Star Rail version preview site, and on it is a new character profile for the Stellaron Hunter Sam. It shares insights about the character, a video clip, and new art, and during so notes that this is someone in a mecha suit.
Rather than the 2.0 Honkai: Star Rail Characters section, the new information about Sam shows up in the enemies area. This is because, as revealed during the “If One Dreams at Midnight” Special Program, players will take part in a boss fight against the Stellaron Hunter. The profile for the member of Kafka’s squad confirmed this is actually a character inside of a “mecha suit,” rather than a robot like someone such as Screwllum.
Here is the official description:
One of the Stellaron Hunters, a mysterious warrior donning formidable armor. The mecha suit possesses the power to unleash fiery attacks, engulfing the battlefield in flames.
The profile page also offers a video clip of Sam attacking the Trailblazer and their party.
Here’s a closer look at the art shared by HoYoVerse of the character:
We’ve generally known about Sam being a member of Kafka’s group for a while. However, this Stellaron Hunter hasn’t appeared in-game until this upcoming update. HoYoVerse did tease an appearance during the Kafka “The Jepella Rebellion – Scene 47” trailer. The two help lead the rebellion at the 2:33 mark of that video.
Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and 2.0 will launch on February 6, 2024.
