Honkai: Star Rail Leak Teases New In-Game Path
A new leak from prominentHonkai: Star Railleaker Sakura Haven is hinting at the addition ofa new character Path toHonkai: Star Rail. According to the leak,Star Railis planning to introduce the first characters in the game’s Remembrance Path in the near future. No confirmation was given with the post about who the first Remembrance character would be, with a release date also not given for the in-game Path. Remembrance is currently only available in-game asa Path within the Simulated Universe.
While few details were given about the addition of Remembrance toHonkai: Star Rail, the Path’s position in Simulated Universe could give key clues about its implementation.The Simulated Universe’s Remembrance Pathheavily focuses around the Freeze status effect, providing damage bonuses and other buffs when Freezing enemies. The Path also makes heavy use of the “Dissociation” mechanic, prolonging the effects of Freeze and also dealing additional Ice Damage. Much like Remembrance, Dissociation is currently not used inHonkai: Star Railoutside the Simulated Universe.
A new Path coming toStar Railwould serve as the first new class introduced to the game since its launch in early 2023. The game has previously included non-playable Paths as a major part ofHonkai: Star Rail’s story, withthe “Masked Fools” organization featuring Sparkleand Sampo serving as followers of the Elation Aeon, Aha. HoYoverse has also previously made major gameplay additions following its games' releases, adding the Dendro element toGenshin Impactwith Version 3.0. The addition of Remembrance toHonkai: Star Railwould look to majorly shake up the RPG with plenty of new options for teams.
