HoYoverse, the global interactive entertainment brand, announced today the Version 3.7 update of Honkai: Star Rail, titled “As Tomorrow Became Yesterday. ” It will be released in November 2025, bringing the Amphoreous saga to its thrilling climax.

To celebrate destiny calling and the final trial on the horizon, the Astral Express will welcome the highly anticipated new 5-star playable character, Cyrene (Remembrance), who is ready to blaze her own path among the stars. In addition to the new character, the Honkai: Star Rail universe will expand with the introduction of “Currency Wars,” a large-scale permanent gameplay mode where Trailblazers can command up to 10 heroes from a pool of 61, deploying them across On-field and Off-field positions to conquer tactical challenges.

For the uninitiated, Honkai: Star Rail is a turn-based RPG developed and published by HoYoverse, the same studio behind Genshin Impact, Honkai Impact 3rd, Tears of Themis, and Zenless Zone Zero. It was first released on April 26, 2023, and is available on PC, iOS, Android, PlayStation 5, and other platforms.

The game is a fantasy space RPG aboard a cosmic train called the Astral Express, where players can journey through immense and unknown worlds, “each brimming with unique cultures, awe-inspiring landscapes, and mythical wonders to explore.” In the game, the player takes on the role of “Trailblazer,” a fearless individual who has been imbued with a powerful artifact and is determined to unravel the mysteries of the fabled “Cancer of All Worlds” and Aeons, who are god-like beings who embody concepts like Destruction, Preservation, and Harmony.

Read the official press release below:

Over the course of the Amphoreous saga, the Astral Express trio inherited the Titan Coreflames, gaining newfound strength and becoming inextricably bound to Amphoreous’s destiny. Now, the Astral Express crew stands shoulder to shoulder with the Chrysos Heirs, confronting “Irontomb” — the most formidable foe to time itself, in a battle whose weight surpasses anything Amphoreous has ever faced. Yet the conflict extends beyond the paths of Destruction and Erudition, as the forces of Remembrance stir in the dark. With the cosmos on the brink, no great power can afford to remain silent. Through the resolve of the Trailblazers and the wisdom of the geniuses, a Cosmic Alliance begins to rise.

The final battlefield lies within the “Ruins of Time”, a barren realm where gravel drifts through the air and the horizon fades into an endless wilderness. When Irontomb’s power once stirred prematurely, Phainon poured all his strength into sealing it away—the Trailblazer can see a giant sword piercing into the earth’s core, and a statue that resembles Phainon. He left behind three layers of seals, waiting for the day his companions would return to break them, and together, bring Irontomb to its end.

As the final battle unfolds, Cyrene joins the roster of playable characters. From the very beginning of the Amphoreous journey, she has accompanied the Trailblazers in many different forms. In Version 3.7, Cyrene will finally open up to the Trailblazer she trusts the most, revealing her long-hidden past and the answers behind her mysteries. Cyrene is a 5-star Ice-Type character on the Path of the Remembrance. When she is on the team, the DMG dealt by all allies is increased. Cyrene’s Skill deploys a Zone. While it is active, any damage dealt by an ally to an enemy will trigger an additional instance of True DMG. Meanwhile, every action a teammate takes stacks “Recollection” for Cyrene. When “Recollection” is fully stacked, Cyrene can activate her Ultimate, reaching her most powerful state. When Cyrene uses her Ultimate for the first time, it will instantly activate the Ultimates of all teammates and make her Zone permanent. At this point, she also summons Cyrene in her memosprite form. This “memosprite Cyrene” can choose to enhance any teammate, and if the target is a Chrysos Heir character, they will be granted an exclusive special effect. Furthermore, when memosprite Cyrene takes action, it can either buff teammates or deal damage to all enemies, helping lead the team to victory.

Meanwhile, in the new version, a large-scale permanent gameplay mode, “Currency Wars,” will make its debut. Trailblazers can form teams of up to ten characters, divided into “on-field” and “off-field” areas that work together in combat. When characters of the same combat type or belonging to the same faction fight side by side, they will trigger special “Bond” effects, unleashing greater power as a team. At launch, “Currency Wars” will feature 61 participating characters, all of whom will be available for free trial. As a major permanent mode, in addition to challenge rewards, it also features a periodic reward system similar to “Divergent Universe,” and will introduce new challenges and growth experiences through updates.

There’s still plenty for Trailblazers to look forward to in this update. The new event, “Snack Dash,” is on its way, inviting Trailblazers to take part in a lighthearted competition full of creativity and fun. Madam Ruan Mei’s delightful creations will race across obstacle-filled tracks, striving for the finish line and higher rankings. Version 3.7 will also implement the “Trailblaze Fashion” system, giving players more fun cosmetic customization options, including the limited headwear “Deliverer’s Wreath” available for free after completing the version’s Main Missions. Finally, a new animated short, “Hello, World,” and the song “Ripples of Past Reverie, ” among other new content, will be released to accompany players as they reflect on the journey across the past seven versions and witness the perfect conclusion to the Amphoreus saga.


More information about the event, offers, and quests will be available when the Official Event Page and FAQ that go live on November 6, 2025. For updates, stay tuned to Crunchyroll News and Honkai: Star Rail‘s official social platforms.
