HoYoVerse’s official social media accounts for Honkai: Star Rail released the key visual for how Astra Yao will look when she appears in the game. She will be a five-star Quantum Harmony character, and she’ll be part of the upcoming Zenless Zone Zero collaboration event.

The visual for Astra shows her lying on a CD while other records, music scores, and music-related paraphernalia surround her. This is an obvious reference to how she is a singer in her native game of Zenless Zone Zero. In her original game, she plays a more support-oriented role for the other Agents. Because of her Harmony Path, Astra will also be a support character in Honkai: Star Rail.

The Zenless Zone Zero collaboration will appear in Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.8. We already know that Ellen Joe will also show up as a playable character during this event. She will be a 5-star Ice Destruction character, meaning that she will play a DPS role. More information on their kits will appear later. The upcoming Special Program for Honkai: Star Rail will focus on Version 4.7, which will feature the playable version of Aha, the Aeon of Elation.

Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, PC, and mobile devices. Ellen Joe and Astra Yao of Zenless Zone Zero will become playable characters in Version 4.8.
