Honkai Star Rail 2.3 drip marketing date speculation
According to the tweet from user SipSipStefen, the Honkai Star Rail 2.3 drip marketing will commence between April 23 and April 25, 2024. Based on the previous campaign schedules, the upcoming character artwork is expected to be available on the game’s official X account around 12 pm (UTC+8).
HoYoverse reveals a total of three units for every update over consecutive days and the same can be expected this time. It is also likely that patch 2.3 will only introduce two new characters. In that case, players might see a different drip marketing pattern.
Unlike previous updates, there haven't been any particular leaks hinting at the upcoming Honkai Star Rail banners. Since HoYoverse is strictly protecting their future contents from early disclosures, fans will have to wait until the official reveal to find out about the featured characters of update 2.3.
That said, players should also know that the version 2.2 livestream will likely premiere on April 26, 2024, following the drip marketing campaign. Viewers will be able to watch it via the game’s official Twitch and YouTube channels.
For those out of the loop, the next update will officially introduce Robin and Boothill to the playable roster as the 5-star characters. Additionally, various leaks online have claimed that a new Trailblazer variant is heading to Patch 2.2. They will harness the power of the Imaginary element and tread on the Harmony Path to take on the role of a support unit.
