Blade Will Finally Get His “Death” In Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.3

This morning, HoYoverse posted the latest Honkai: Star Rail Special Program, offering players information on what to expect from the Version 4.3 update. The update, titled “The Lethe Below the Living,” will launch on June 1 and continues where we left off in Planarcaida. Following his absorption of Shuhu, he is under the watchful eye of Yao Guang.

Meanwhile, the Trailblazer has been asked to seek out Graphia in the World in Canvas. Both Blade and the Trailblazer will venture there, for their own reasons, where they will have to contend with both the Aeon of Voracity and the machinations of the Lord Ravager Asat Pramad. All the while, it seems even more questions will be raised about the Astral Express’ Navigator, Himeko, and her family’s history.

To complete his mission, Blade will finally be facing his “death”. Only, it seems it will be more of a rebirth, resulting in the free-to-play action RPG’s latest five-star character, Mortenax Blade, who will be available during the Version’s first Phase 1 Event Warp. Phase 1 will also feature a rerun of Yao Guang. The Phase 2 Event Warp will feature reruns of Cyrene and Phainon. Players who roll on and obtain Mortenax Blade will also receive a special cosmetic item designed for a new outfit slot.

At the end of the special program, HoYo teased a new Fate/stay night collab (Unlimited Blade Works). This collab will arrive sometime this summer and bring Rin Tohsaka (Quantum/Erudition) and Gilgamesh (Lightning/Destruction) to the game. As with the first event, players will receive a free five-star character. This time, they have a choice. They can either get another Archer or Gilgamesh.

Of course, redemption codes were included in the stream. These are: CA395VK8ULCP, YT295D38DLEB, and EB395CJ8V5XF. Remember that they’re available for a limited time.
