Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.7, "Now, Lay Laughter to All Stars," launches November 11, 2026. Planarcadia's story reaches its finale as Aeon ★ Aha joins the fight against the Voracity, a leviathan threatening the universe.

Aha also becomes a playable 5-star character on the Path of Elation. Eligible Trailblazers can claim a free limited 5-star character, too. The choices are Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, and Jing Yuan.

Final Phantasmoon Games Set Up the Hunt for the Voracity

Aha's Phantasmoon Games have kept the Voracity sealed for more than a thousand Amber Eras. That seal is close to failing. Aha is bringing the competition to a final showdown before the leviathan regains its full strength.

Eight Supplicants have been summoned for the Final Phantasmoon Games, with the Starfroster at the centre of Aha's plan. The Starfroster will travel across the stars and act as bait to draw out the Voracity. A cake-shaped ship is exactly the sort of thing you'd expect from Aha.

Aha won't be watching from the sidelines this time. They'll fight alongside the Trailblazer as Planarcadia's story reaches its conclusion.

Aha Brings New Elation Abilities to Combat

Aeon ★ Aha arrives as a limited 5-star Elation character, and their abilities involve the rest of your team. Aha unlocks additional combat abilities for other Elation characters on the team.

Aha Instant fast-forwards Elation Skills. Your entire team also builds Wishpower during combat. Fill that meter and Aha can unleash an Ultimate that deals Elation damage to every enemy.

Aha's Aeonic Authority adds another unusual effect. Allied attacks can directly reduce an enemy's maximum HP.

Free 5-Star Choice and Affinitive Eidolons Arrive

After Version 4.7 launches, Trailblazers can choose Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, or Jing Yuan for free. The reward also includes materials to raise the chosen character to Level 60.

There's a separate free choice of one Affinitive Eidolon for those same three characters. Affinitive Eidolons are a new growth system that unlocks additional combat abilities for eligible characters you own. Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, and Jing Yuan are the first to receive these upgrades.

You'll need to reach Trailblaze Level 4 to claim the rewards. You can claim both rewards from the November 11 update until December 23 at 05:59 (UTC+8). If you've already got one of these characters, it's worth checking their new abilities before deciding where to use your Eidolon choice.

All three characters also return in the second half of Version 4.7's Warps. Silver Wolf LV.999, Sparxie, and Yao Guang appear in the first half.

Dessert Shop Event and Currency Wars Season 2

In The Fluffy Movie: Overheated, you'll help Aha manage a dessert shop to earn Gold Coins. Interastral Peace Gala: Road to Fame adds a separate combat event.

The Trailblazer and a raccoon mascot appear in a colourful dessert shop interface in Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.7.

Currency Wars also returns with Season 2, Voyage Into the Canvas, expanding the permanent mode. Phantasia Showstage gives you a chance to obtain Aha's limited Star Lotto outfit and other rewards.

The animated short A Joyful Funeral Beneath the Moon releases November 11. A new track, Ex Nihilo, will accompany Aha's final performance.

Honkai: Star Rail is available on PlayStation 5, PC, iOS, and Android, including through the Epic Games Store on PC. Both free rewards become available after the November 11 update, so you won't need to wait for the second-half Warps to claim them.
