Cyrene may be the newest character making an entrance in Honkai: Star Rail, with her arrival anticipated in Version 3.7, slated for release sometime in December. Speculation abounds that Cyrene is a childhood friend of Phainon from Aedes Elysiae, and she bears a striking resemblance to Elysia from Honkai Impact 3rd.
Recently, a leak has surfaced about the potential introduction of Cyrene in Honkai: Star Rail. The current storyline prominently features Amphoreus and the Chrysos Heirs, viewed as godlike protectors of this enigmatic realm. However, Cyrene hasn’t officially stepped into the scene within the game. Her character, although mysterious, has made brief appearances in “Amphoreus’ Saga of Heroes” as well as in Phainon’s memory sequence at the conclusion of the Version 3.0 chapter. Many enthusiasts believe she is Phainon’s childhood companion from Aedes Elysiae, tragically killed before the events within Honkai: Star Rail unfold. There’s also buzz among fans due to the uncanny likeness Cyrene shares with Elysia from Honkai Impact 3rd, hinting at a possible crossover as part of Star Rail’s diverse character roster.
Although teasers suggest that the Chrysos Heirs will have playable characters during the Amphoreus storyline, there’s no confirmation of Cyrene being part of that list. Yet, a fresh leak from Uncle Jtt5CPW has sparked excitement, predicting Cyrene as the sole 5-star banner character for Version 3.7, expected around December. She is believed to be an Ice-type Remembrance character, reminiscent of Trailblazer’s latest form, though these details are subject to potential revisions in the coming months.
As it stands, the developers of Honkai: Star Rail have articulated that the Amphoreus arc is set to last through Version 3.7, marking it the longest story arc within the game to date. Considering the potential for the Chrysos Heirs to be released in pairs over the upcoming months, Cyrene might very well be the concluding character from this arc, provided the leak holds true. Given the planet’s seclusion from external worlds, it’s likely that non-Amphoreus characters will be held back until this narrative wraps up.
Despite the chatter, not all fans are convinced by the leak, partly because Version 3.7’s release is still a ways off. Some have voiced their disappointment over the absence of any updates on March 7th’s speculated 5-star form and expressed hope that she might also adopt an Ice-type Remembrance form.
Amidst the unfolding mystery of Amphoreus, fans are undoubtedly in for an exciting journey. The spotlight is expected to shift onto more Chrysos Heirs, especially with Honkai: Star Rail planning to roll out engaging new characters like Castorice, Tribbie, and Mydei in the near future, which players are eagerly awaiting.
