Honkai Star Rail 1.2 livestream time and how to watch

The Honkai Star Rail 1.2 livestream is coming up fast, with details on the RPG’s upcoming banners, story events, and more. Star Rail 1.2 introduces two long-awaited characters and possibly even a new weekly boss to challenge in your Echoes of War runs and some new relic sets, if the current leaks are anything to go by.

A new livestream means new freebies as well, so make sure to keep an eye on our Star Rail codes list for fresh promo codes as they become available.

Where to watch Honkai Star Rail 1.2 livestream

The Honkai Star Rail 1.2 livestream will air on the game’s official YouTube channel and Twitch channel. The vide-on-demand of the livestream will also be available on Twitch, though the actual trailer will only live on the YouTube channel.

What to expect from the Honkai Star Rail 1.2 livestream

HoYoverse is adding Kafka and Blade to Star Rail 1.2 as the version’s two new 5-star characters. Blade is a member of the Stellaron Hunters, the same organization that Kafka and Silver Wolf belong to. Character leaks say that he is a Destruction character who deals more damage based on how much damage he takes, so make sure to pair him with a healer.

Kafka is a Nihility character who was briefly playable during the prologue, so you’ve already got an idea of what she’s capable of.

Also planned for 1.2 is Luka, a boxing champion and a 4-star physical character.

Rumors suggest a new weekly boss and two new Relic sets are also planned, including a set that’s ideal for Blade and Arlan, another Destruction character who deals more damage as his health drops.

There’s no word on what events version 1.2 might add, but if the PC game‘s previous updates are anything to go by, we’ll probably see at least one new companion mission turn up.
