Honkai: Star Rail version 3.0 launched on January 15, 2025, opening the journey in Amphoreus and introducing a new Path called Remembrance. It is a foundational update for a questline that runs across several versions, and by 2026 it is no longer new content.
What kind of world is Amphoreus?
Amphoreus is built on Greek mythological imagery, with Titans, city-states and heirs who each carry their own mission. The Astral Express arrives at a world that is almost cut off from the rest of the universe, so players have to uncover its history through memories, legends and accounts that are not always reliable.
The two major regions introduced in version 3.0 are the Eternal Holy City Okhema and the Bloodbathed Battlefront Castrum Kremnos. Each combines story missions with puzzles based on time, mechanisms and restoring objects.
How does the Remembrance Path work?
Remembrance characters can summon a memosprite that joins the fight. A memosprite has its own turns and skills, so team building does not revolve only around the main character's speed; you also have to account for action order, energy and the support effects that benefit the summon.
The Remembrance Trailblazer is unlocked through story progression, letting players try the new mechanic without having to pull on the gacha. Aglaea is the first limited character to show the memosprite-based playstyle in more depth.
Standout characters of version 3.0
- The Herta: a 5-star character of the Erudition Path, developed from the familiar Herta but with her own skill set.
- Aglaea: a 5-star Remembrance character who fights alongside the memosprite Garmentmaker.
- Remembrance Trailblazer: a new free form of the Trailblazer, accompanied by the memosprite Mem.
New exploration mechanics
Oronyx's Prayer lets you restore some objects to a previous state to repair paths or solve puzzles. The Tome of Miracles and Miracle Orbs switch the space-time state of an area, while the Hand of Zagreus can move objects, build bridges and open routes.
What returning players should know
Version 3.0 is where Amphoreus begins, but the game has continued through many updates since. Returning players should finish the prerequisite quests and read the in-game recap, and avoid redeem codes or banner guides from January 2025, since most have expired. Follow current content in the Gaming section.
