Honkai: Star Rail 3.0 Amphoreus Release Date Set

The Amphoreus Trailblaze Mission will last across eight versions (3.0 to 3.7) and will have two parts to it. Version 3.0 will also introduce three new characters: Aglaea, The Herta, and the Remembrance version of the Trailblazer. While Remembrance Trailblazer will be a free unit you can obtain through the story, Aglaea and The Herta will both appear in the gacha as limited-time characters.

Amphoreus draws inspiration from Greek mythology, and the residents of that world worship the Titans rather than the Aeons. A civil war among these Titans, followed by a mysterious “black tide”, caused the strife and conflict throughout both Amphoreus and the gods, and the Holy City of Okhema is the final sanctuary for humanity there. Much of the story and characters in Amphoreus combine Greek legends with the Flame-Chasers from Honkai Impact 3rd, with the Astral Express working with the Chrysos Heirs to save Amphoreus from the encroaching darkness.
