Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.5 Hits August 26 With Summer Vibes

Big news for all Trailblazers. HoYoverse just announced that Version 4.5 titled To Roll the Stars in Astropolis is officially coming our way on August 26, 2026. This update moves the action away from Planarcadia and brings us straight to the headquarters of the Interastral Peace Corporation.

This update is a bit different because it balances serious main story progress with a lighter summer theme. Players will get to see new summer variants for fan favorite characters Robin and Aventurine. It is the perfect chance to enjoy some seasonal fun while dealing with the intense corporate politics of Astropolis.

As for the plot, the team is dealing with a new conflict involving the Voracity. You will be busy climbing the corporate ladder while finding the strength to keep everyone safe. We are looking forward to seeing how these new character designs look in the game once the update goes live later this August.
