Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 Livestream - Date & Time
The Special Event Should Happen In Early January 2025
Even before an official announcement by HoYoverse, the date and time for the Version 3.0 livestream can be predicted thanks to the game’s fixed schedule for each update. With version 2.7 being the final update of content this year, Version 3.0 is expected to arrive on January 15. Because livestreams tend to occur two weeks before, on Friday mornings,the Version 3.0 livestream will likely occur on January 3, at some point in the morning. The developer should confirm the exact date and time for theHonkai: Star Rail3.0 livestream a few days before the event happens.

New leaked images for Mydei’s Ultimate in Honkai: Star Rail have emerged, hinting at what may be a stylish and devastating ability in combat.
There were rumors that Version 2.7 would be the longest patch in the turn-based RPG so far and, if this is true, it would inevitably push Version 3.0’s release and, possibly, the livestream back by a few weeks. This remains to be seen as Version 2.7 progresses through its second half, but if it lasts the regular six weeks, then the Version 3.0 livestream should truly occur on January 3. Regardless of when it occurs, the event will probably be broadcast on the officialHonkai: Star Railchannel on YouTube.

What To Expect From Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 Livestream - New Characters & Leaked Banners
Three New Characters Have Already Been Confirmed
HoYoverse has already announced the new playable characters for Version 3.0. The first of them will be made available to all players who proceed into the story within Amphoreus.The Remembrance Trailblazer is a new form for the main character and it should be unlocked as players uncover Remembrance as a new playable Path. Based on theRemembrance Trailblazer’s leaked kit inHonkai: Star Rail3.0, it seems like the protagonist will be able to summon a memosprite called Mem and that it will operate as both a secondary damage dealer and a support for allies.
Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 Leaks Show Remembrance Trailblazer Will Thrive With The Herta
New details about the Remembrance Trailblazer in Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 have leaked and they may work well with The Herta in team comps.
The other new character confirmed by HoYoverse is The Herta, the 5-star version of the Genius Society member. Like her 4-star form,The Herta will be an Ice Erudition character, meaning her specialty is dealing damage to multiple opponents at once. Contrary to her 4-star version’s sub-DPS follow-up attacks, she is expected to be the main DPS in team comps, according toThe Herta’s leaked kit inHonkai: Star Rail3.0. The leaks say she can also be versatile by focusing the power of her multi-target damage on a single enemy, which could help her deal with bosses.

The third new character confirmed for the patch is Aglaea, who will be the first of the playable Amphoreus characters.Aglaea is a 5-star Lightning character on the Path of the Remembrance, making her the second playable unit on this new Path. As a Remembrance character, Aglaea is expected to be able to summon a memosprite, a detail that has been confirmed byAglaea’s leaked kit inHonkai: Star Rail3.0. This kit shows that Aglaea will be a main DPS unit that thrives with raw attack power and SPD buffs that make her and her memosprite even stronger.
Leaks say that Aglaea and her memosprite Garmentmaker will gain ATK buffs based on their SPD, which can also be gradually buffed during combat, potentially making her the fastest unit in the game so far.

Each of these characters’ gameplay kits will likely be thoroughly described during the Version 3.0 livestream since the details about them so far have emerged from leaks.HoYoverse will formally present them and highlight how they are used in battle and how they can potentially serve team comps, especially with the arrival of the new Remembrance Path, which could affect the meta in a drastic way.
While new characters tend to be in the spotlight, rerun units are often just as important as the debuts. HoYoverse will likely present the rerun characters during the Version 3.0 livestream, but there have been leaks indicating who will appear during which banner phase. According to information by Seele Leaks, which was shared onReddit,The Herta will debut in Phase 1 banners accompanied by reruns of Jade, Feixiao, and Lingsha, while Phase 2 banners will feature Aglaea’s release and Robin, Boothill, and Silver Wolf reruns.

A new update to The Herta’s leaked gameplay kit in Honkai: Star Rail indicates that she will be an exceptional character on the Path of the Erudition.
This particular piece of information should be considered with caution, as there had been a leak about a potentialupdate to banners inHonkai: Star Rail3.0, indicating thatnew releases would always appear together in Phase 1 banners, lasting until the end of the patch, while reruns would only start appearing in Phase 2 banners. The rumors of the update were that this change would take effect in Version 3.0, so they currently conflict with the aforementioned banner leak. The definitive format of character banners will be confirmed during the Version 3.0 livestream.
