HoYoVerse shared the release date for the Honkai Impact 3rd 7.5 update. It will arrive on June 6, 2024, bringing with it a new chapter for the story, new events, and the Lantern Lone Destruction: Shadowchase Battlesuit. 

As one might expect due to recent events and Battlesuits, the 7.5 Honkai Impact 3rd story and events all have to do with the Seven Shus and Lantern.  The new story questline is called “A Crime Foretold” and deals with the seven individuals awakening again to deal with Langqiu and Oxia’s troubles. Lantern will be playable as an S-rank character, and the Lantern Against Shadows event goes into her background. 

Here is the full launch trailer for the Honkai Impact 3rd 7.5 patch’s additions. It started with the look at Lantern and the new story chapter. After that, it offered some overviews of upcoming events. It shows how there will be a Lantern Against Shadows event, which includes a Magic Academy Uniform for the Sirin Miracle Magical Girl Battlesuit. After that, the Theresa Apocalypse Lunar Vow: Crimson Love Till Death Do Us Part Battlesuit outfit appeared. A login event with Fprged Light Stigma and 12 Equipment Supply Cards will run too. It ends with a teaser for things to come.

While the story is firmly going over the Part 2 characters and events, merchandise is still covering people from Part 1. A Seele and Veliona figure is in development, for example. 

Honkai Impact 3rd is available for PCs and mobile devices, and the release date for the 7.5 update is June 6, 2024.

The Honkai Impact 3rd Flying to Oxia event began on May 11, 2024, however some people reported issues starting and playing it. HoYoVerse confirmed it fixed the issue and released a trailer going over the event.

The problem that came up with the event is people who should have been able to start it, couldn’t. They would keep getting a message that said, “Event not yet available.” While an early “fix” involved switching the PC time zone or going to an Android or iOS device, it is now officially fixed for everyone. People who experienced the problem will get 60 Crystals for the inconvenience in their mailboxes.

As for the Honkai Impact 3rd Flying to Oxia event trailer, it goes over how it works with the Part 2 heroine Senadina. This basically involves a temporary match-3 minigame, and the character explains how to play and what people get for it.

There is another opportunity that is live in-game at the moment. Players can register to be a tester for the 7.5 game update. To take part, you need to read the announcement that comes up while playing on a PC or mobile devices, then take the survey. You could then be picked to test out the new version and battlesuit on the test server.

Honkai Impact 3rd is available for PCs and mobile devices, and the Flying to Oxia event is live in-game now.

The 7.4 update for Honkai Impact 3rd just appeared at the end of April 2024, and now HoYoVerse opened recruitment for test server testers for the 7.5 update. People can only find the survey to sign up in-game right now.

Here’s how you can register to potentially take part. To gain access to the Honkai Impact 3rd Test Server for 7.5, you need to go to the information section where you can see details about Events, Announcements, and News.

It then includes a link to complete a survey to be considered as a tester for it.

Here’s the official announcement showing how that message will look in-game. The announcement also confirms that the featured 7.5 battlesuit in Honkai Impact 3rd will be Lone Destruction: Shadowchaser for the Shu of Destruction, who is named Lantern. 

Previously, the 7.4 updated added a playable version of another member of the Seven Shus. Thelema’s Mad Pleasure: Shadowbringer is available now.

When the 7.4 update arrives for Honkai Impact 3rd, a Thelema Nutriscu Battlesuit called Mad Pleasure: Shadowbringer will be a part of it. Now there’s a new cinematic trailer showing her using off her lavish abilities to attack enemies, critiquing the environment’s decorations and referring to how she’ll pick a “dog.”

Here’s the video highlighting Thelema in Honkai Impact 3rd. It gives us a chance to see her abilities, her personality, and even a hint at her playstyle. For those who haven’t been keeping up, she is the Shu of Pleasure in the Seven Shus group on Langqiu.

In case you missed it, a video discussing Thelema’s development and her moveset appeared earlier in April 2024. While it started with a cinematic, it also focused on the developers discussing her creation and design. 

We’ll know more about it and the 7.4 update soon. The next Hyperion Lounge showcase discussing the game, its new additions, and upcoming events airs on April 18, 2024. You can catch it on YouTube, and the placeholder is live.

When Honkai Impact 3rd Part 2 launches at the end of February 2024, we’ll see a new AstralOp character named Songque added to the game. She’s an S-rank unit that people will be able to get from AstralOp Supply banners.

HoYoVerse’s profile described her as a kind person who is also one of the mysterious Seven Shus. She’s trying to become the one for Deception. IIt also notes she’s known for divination. In-battle, she’ll help deal lightning element damage to multiple enemies during a Stellar Burst, will inflict a debuff that increases damage from all elements they take, and any enemy she hits will apparently take on the Paralyze Trauma effect. When there’s no Stellar Outburst, she’ll help Astral Intensity, especially when attacks land, and all enemies will take more damage from elemental attacks.  

There is also a guaranteed drop rate for Songque. Once her banner is live, someone will get her if they pull 60 times on the banner. That offer will be in effect until March 29, 2024.

As a reminder, Songque is the second AstralOp character joining Honkai Impact 3rd in Part 2. The other one debuting in 7.3 is the Dreamseeker. Everyone can earn this character via playing. 

You will need a Battlesuit with an Astral Ring as your team leader to use an AstralOp character in battle. There will be three launching in the new update. Two are only available via the banner, and those are Senadina and Helia. However, everyone can earn Coralie, the third character, via playing.

Honkai Impact 3rd is available for the PC and mobile devices, and the Part 2 version 7.3 release date is February 29, 2024.
