Honkai: Star Rail fans, get ready for a major anniversary celebration! With the game’s second birthday just over a month away, new leaks suggest that HoYoverse is planning an exciting giveaway to mark the occasion. According to a post by prominent leaker Sakura Haven, a special event will debut during the Version 3.2 update, which is set to launch in April. The buzz centers around the release of Honkai: Star Rail’s very first artbook, a comprehensive collection showcasing the game’s stunning early artwork, design drafts, and background lore. This artbook giveaway is poised to be a standout reward for dedicated players, offering a unique piece of memorabilia that captures the creative journey of the game.
Since its explosive April 2023 launch—amassing over 20 million downloads in just one day—Honkai: Star Rail has continually evolved, with numerous updates and fresh content enhancing its sci-fi RPG universe.
