miHoYo is poised to roll out the next major update for Honkai: Star Rail - Version 2.4, entitled "Finest Duel Under the Pristine Blue," set to debut on July 31st. This new update brings back the Astral Express crew to Xianzhou Luofu as they participate in the celebrated Wardance festival on March 7th. Simultaneously, the game is set to reveal intriguing, hidden elements.

Factoring in the characters, seasoned players like Yanqing and Jing Yuan will be reintroduced alongside newly launched characters like Yunli. Several new generals, such as Feixiao and Huaiyan, will join them. Players are in for a treat as they navigate through The Shackling Prison hidden under the Scalegorge Waterscape to engage with Borisin creatures. Regrettably, a catastrophe arises, upending the events.

On the subject of fresh anomalies, Yunli emerges as the new five-star Destruction character dealing with physical damage and majoring in counters. Jiaoqiu, another character, is set to make an appearance during this update's second half. Identified as a five-star Fire damage character on the Path of Nihility, he induces Ashen Roast on enemies, which in turn triggers a Burn state, increasing the damage they sustain. This makes him a perfect Support for Acheron.

In addition, Huohuo and Sparkle are set for a comeback. This update, Version 2.4, is free for PS5, PC, iOS, and Android users.
