The Honkai: Star Rail-Induced Trauma Will Continue, If The Title For The Upcoming Update Is Anything To Go By

Things have been tragic, very tragic, in Honkai: Star Rail for a while now. We’ve been stuck on Amphoreus for a while now, dealing with the whole prophecy thing (Never mind that trip to Penacony for a little war. That was timey-wimey stuff, I’m sure.) and things have really come to a head. We know what’s really going on now, but we don’t know how it will end. Although the title of the action RPG's upcoming 3.5 update, “Before Their Deaths,” might give us some sort of clue.

Of course, there is the possibility that some are reading far too much into the title, and everything will turn out fine. But, when you consider what they’ve put us through so far, I don’t think we’re wrong to expect pain.

Either way, we’ll be finding out soon enough, it seems. And before that, we’ll find out what to expect in a more general way during the Version 3.5 Special Program, scheduled to take place on August 2. Yes, that’s a Saturday. I’m sure we can expect the usual: a brief look at the upcoming story, information on new characters and banners, shiny new events. And, of course, there will be codes. We’ll cover all of it when the video drops. For those who want to watch live, the stream will be available on YouTube.
