HoYoverse has announced that Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.7, titled“Now, Lay Laughter to All Stars,” will launch on November 11, bringing players to the conclusion of the game’s ongoing Planarcadia saga. The update will see the long-awaited arrival of Aeon ★ Aha, who steps into the spotlight as both director and participant in a universe-spanning final confrontation.

For over a thousand Amber Eras, the leviathan known as the Voracity has remained sealed through Aha’s “Phantasmoon Games.” That seal is now weakening, threatening the entire universe. To prevent catastrophe, Aha summons eight Supplicants for the “Final Phantasmoon Games,” setting the stage aboard the Starfroster for a cosmic showdown that will determine the future of Planarcadia and beyond.

Honkai Star Rail – Aeon ★ Aha Finally Becomes Playable

The headlining addition in Honkai Star Rail Version 4.7 is the debut of Aeon ★ Aha, a limited 5-star character following the Path of Elation. As the mastermind behind the Phantasmoon Games, Aha has spent countless years observing the cosmos through performances and theatrical spectacles, but now enters the battle directly.

In combat, Aha enhances Elation characters by granting access to unique combat abilities through an ascended state of the Path of Elation. The character also introduces“Aha Instant,” a new mechanic that accelerates Elation Skill performances. Players will accumulate Wishpower throughout battle, allowing Aha to unleash a powerful Ultimate capable of dealing Elation DMG to all enemies. Thanks to Aha’s Aeonic Authority, ally attacks can also directly reduce enemy Max HP.

New Rerun Banners and Affinitive Eidolons

Honkai Star Rail Version 4.7 will also feature a robust lineup of returning characters. During the first half of the update, players can look forward to reruns for Silver Wolf LV.999, Sparxie, and Yao Guang. The second half will bring back fan-favorites Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, and Jing Yuan.

Additionally, the update introduces the all-new Affinitive Eidolon system. Once players own designated characters and unlock their corresponding Affinitive Eidolons, they can gain access to additional abilities and combat enhancements. Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae, and Jing Yuan will be the first characters to receive these upgrades.

Plenty of New Activities Await

Outside of the main story and character additions, Honkai Star Rail Version 4.7 introduces several new events and gameplay activities. The version event“The Fluffy Movie: Overheated” lets Trailblazers help Aha manage a dessert shop while earning rewards, while the combat-focused“Interastral Peace Gala: Road to Fame” provides additional challenges.

Meanwhile, the permanent mode“Currency Wars” receives its second season, titled“Voyage Into the Canvas,” featuring significant updates and fresh content. Players can also participate in the“Phantasia Showstage” event for a chance to earn Aha’s limited outfit,“Star Lotto,” alongside various rewards.

To further celebrate the finale of the Planarcadia arc, Version 4.7 will include the animated short“A Joyful Funeral Beneath the Moon” and a new song titled“Ex Nihilo,” both designed to enhance the emotional climax of the storyline.
