Honkai: Star Rail has officially unveiled its latest upcoming location, Amphoreus, set to debut in Version 3.0. This enchanting region is believed to be inspired by the mythology and architecture of Ancient Greece. Although the game’s characters from Amphoreus were previously hinted at, fans had yet to see any detailed map layouts until now.
Launched recently, Version 2.7 focuses on concluding the Penacony storyline, paving the way for the adventure in Amphoreus. Developers have also released a captivating trailer featuring notable characters, alongside the announcement that one new unit from Amphoreus, Aglaea, will join the roster in the upcoming patch. While early leaks provided glimpses of Amphoreus’ scenic beauty, concrete information regarding the new chapter, titled “Saga of Heroes,”had been scarce. Fortunately, HoYoverse has now given fans their first substantial look at this intriguing world.
During The Game Awards, an additional promotional trailer was released that highlighted various landmarks of Amphoreus. This new world, dubbed “The Eternal Land,”features the Astral Express Crew making their grand entrance. The visuals displayed in the trailer reveal a unique blend of ancient and modern designs characteristic of Greek architecture, including a massive statue of a Titan that has appeared in previous materials. Notably, Castorice’s in-game model was featured, hinting at her significant role in Amphoreus’ overarching narrative. Castorice is expected to be one of the new playable characters introduced with the official launch of this update, representing the Ordain of the Chrysos Heirs, a faction making its debut in Version 3.0.
