HoYoVerse confirmed the next Honkai: Star Rail Special Program streaming going over the end parts of the Amphoreus storyline in 3.5 will air on August 2, 2025. It will air on YouTube and Twitch at 4:30am PT/7:30am ET. The update itself is expected to launch on August 13, 2025, after the Blade, Firefly, and Jingliu rerun banners end.
The 3.5 update will pick up the Amphoreus Trailblaze Mission storyline. 3.4 involved a number of major reveals involving characters we’d met and the Chrysos Heirs taking part in the Flame-Chase. We should see more reveals and a prominent part for March 7th in this next patch.
We also already know the next characters who will appear as five-stars in Honkai: Star Rail. They’re two more Chrysos Heirs. One is Cerydra, a Harmony character who deals Wind damage. She’ll also appear as a host for the program alongside Owlbert, Screwllum, and The Herta. Hysilens, aka Helektra, is the other new unit. She’s a Nihility character who deals Physical damage.
Here’s the placeholder stream on YouTube for Honkai: Star Rail Special Program 3.5.
If you haven’t finished the Fate/stay Night crossover in Honkai: Star Rail, don’t worry. It is going to run for a few more patches. So you still have time to get Saber from her banner or a second copy of Archer.
Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the Special Program stream for 3.5 airs at 4:30am PT/7:30am ET on August 2, 2025. The 3.5 patch should arrive on August 13, 2025.
