Honkai: Star Rail Blade Trailer and Fan Art Contest Shared

HoYoVerse kicked off marketing for Blade in Honkai: Star Rail by releasing a trailer, sharing background details, and announcing a fan art contest. With the video, it is a cinematic one hinting at what to expect from him once we properly encounter him in 1.2. With the insight into who he is, it involves a number of quotes from a Stellaron Hunter who knows him. Finally, people can enter the fan art contest until August 10, 2023.

First, here is the Honkai: Star Rail Blade trailer. It mainly hints at his past, though in the second half we get to see a future encounter between him and Dan Heng.

With the details, “we” get to ask a few “questions” to someone who knows Blade. The person says that he “doesn’t really like to chat.” He joined because of a promise from Elio, and he’s the most focused and competent Stellaron Hunter. He doesn’t have patience for annoyances. However, this reveal didn’t discuss the intricacies of his relationship with Dan Heng or meaning of his name.

Finally, the Honkai: Star Rail Blade fan art contest involves entering via the official site and by sharing in-progress and finished copies of the art on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter with the #Blade and #FanArtContest hashtags. The first deadline is August 10, 2023. Judges will pick winners until August 23, 2023. Then the winners will be revealed between August 23, 2023 and September 6, 2023. The first place winner will get $500 and 3,000 Stellar Jades. The three people in second will get $200 and 1,000 Stellar Jade. Five third place folks will get $100 and 500 Stellar Jade. Finally, the 10 people who win the “Lucky Star Prize” will get a Blade acrylic character stand, keychain, and pin.

Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PC and mobile devices, and the Blade banner appears on July 19, 2023. The PS5 version will appear later in 2023.
