Honkai: Star Rail Leak Reveals Details About Greek-Inspired Planet

A recent leak has unveiled intriguing details about the next major world in Honkai: Star Rail, which is rumored to have Greek influences. Following the conclusion of the Penacony arc, fans have eagerly awaited the game's fourth significant world.

At the end of "Farewell, Penacony," the Astral Express Crew decided their next destination would be Amphoreus, a mysterious planet so elusive that even Akivili the Trailblaze has never visited it. The planet is visible only through the mirrors of the Garden of Recollection. Little else is known about Amphoreus, but fans speculate it may be inspired by Thermae, incorporating elements from Greek and Roman cultures.

Prominent leaker Uncle G7TDD8tv has shared additional insights into this new world, suggesting that Amphoreus is based on the Greek Aegean Sea. A screenshot posted on Twitter revealed that NPCs on this planet don ancient Greek-style attire, and the local monsters feature a blend of advanced technology and divine characteristics. It is also rumored that Herta's true form, as the Emanator of Erudition, will become a playable character, resembling a "snow witch."

Currently, Herta's presence in the game is through a 4-star puppet modeled after her younger self. Players can find multiple instances of this puppet throughout Herta Space Station.

In keeping with Honkai: Star Rail's pattern of major updates, the fourth planet is expected to arrive with Version 3.0. Although an official release date has yet to be announced, the update is speculated to launch in January 2025. In addition to Herta, a new Ice-type character named Aglaea is rumored to debut on this new planet, along with a new Trailblazer Path called Remembrance.

Estimated Release Date for Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.0

Given the Greek-inspired theme of the upcoming planet, there is speculation that this could be the home of characters like Dr. Ratio and Himeko. Both characters wear toga-like outfits, and Dr. Ratio notably summons marble statues reminiscent of those found in ancient Greece and Rome. How the lore and events of this fourth planet will influence the overarching story of Honkai: Star Rail remains to be seen.

Among all HoYoverse titles, Honkai: Star Rail stands out for its potential to expand its universe due to the vast, cosmic setting. Existing worlds like Xianzhou Luofu and Penacony will also continue to evolve as the narrative unfolds.
