Anyone who wants to tune in for Honkai Star Rail’s 1.2 Special Program can do it on July 8 at 19:30 (UTC +8). You’ll have to adjust the time depending on your time zone to watch it. As always, the show will take place on YouTube. The length will depend on the type of announcements, but usually, the shows aren’t too long. The last one lasted almost 40 minutes and showcased the new characters and events. Speaking of characters, just by looking at the thumbnail, we can already see two new playable characters and the involvement of an existing one.

What is Coming with the 1.2 Version?

As far as everyone knows, Honkai Star Rail 1.2 will feature Kafka and Blade, and we hope to see more of them during the Special Program. The former is a fan favorite that many gamers are eager to pull for. On the other hand, Blade might be relevant to the upcoming main story mission and should play a big role during the next Xianzhou arc. It is uncertain what events we’ll get, but knowing HoYoverse, they might have a lot planned for this version.

Given the release schedule, the launch date for the new version of Honkai Star Rail shouldn’t be far off. If you haven’t played the game, there are several events you can try to get Stellar Jade to pull for Kafka or Blade. If not, you can save your currency for characters in the future.
