In honor of the Lunar New Year, which is coming up on February 10, 2024, HoYoVerse shared a Honkai: Star Rail anime trailer starring Xianzhou Luofu characters like Guinaifen and Sushang. It focuses on a New Year’s performance put on the two of them.
The video begins with Guinaifen and Sushang being told they’ll play the lion and dragon during the Xianzhou New Year’s performance. As the two prepare, we see other characters from the region like Jing Yuan, Fu Xuan, and Dan Heng. From there, we see an ink-based “battle” narrated by Master Gongshu.
However, it’s soon revealed part of the performance went awry. Just past the halfway point of this Honkai: Star Rail anime video, we see what looks like a slip by Guinaifen. The presentation then halts to show she did fall, and Sushang is left holding her up. Jing Yuan and Dan Heng then need to combine their abilities to help save her, so she can return to the platform and the performance can continue.
Here’s the full “Harmony Greets the New Year” animated short:
While there’s no Lunar New Year event in Honkai: Star Rail, there is one in which people get to choose a free four-star character like they do in the Genshin Impact yearly Lantern Rite. The Hanu’s Prison Break event running until March 25, 2024 lets you pick Asta, Guinaifen, Sampo, or Yukong as your free unit after completing it.
Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the 2.0 update is live now.
