HoYoVerse shared two bits of Honkai: Star Rail news one after the other, as it confirmed the new five-star Silver Wolf alt is on the way and the Special Program stream for 4.1 appears this week. The stream will appear at 4:30am PT/7:30am ET/12:30pm CET on March 13, 2026. Meanwhile, Silver Wolf LV.999 launches in 4.2 and involves a totally new approach for the existing Stellaron Hunter.
With the 4.1 Honkai: Star Rail Special Program, we have an idea of what to expect from the second part of the Planarcadia storyline. The teaser image shows Owlbert will be joined by Silver Wolf, March 7th, and Ashveil. These are the standard chibi versions of the first two characters. Meanwhile, Ashveil is the new five-star The Hunt character designed to deal Lightning damage to one enemy at a time. We should also learn about upcoming events and rerun banners.
Here’s the YouTube placeholder for that:
The new Honkai: Star Rail Silver Wolf follows a new path and deals a different kind of element compared to her previous one. The LV.999 take is an Elation character, much like Sparxie. This means she’ll try to encourage Aha follow-up attacks and influence. She’ll also deal Imaginary damage with her attacks. The original is a Nihility character focused on enemy debuffs and implanting weaknesses, and that one deals Quantum damage.
Here’s the teaser art for her. Her new costume doesn’t look all that different from her original design, as both seem designed to highlight the “gamer” elements of the character.
Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the Special Program stream for Ashveil and 4.1 will air at 4:30am PT/7:30am ET/12:30pm CET on March 13, 2026. The next version update is expected to arrive on March 24, 2026. The new five-star Silver Wolf will join Honkai: Star Rail in 4.2.
