Honkai: Star Rail 4.0 Launches Feb. 13, Introducing Planarcadia and a Fortnite Crossover

A delayed Special Program finally set the schedule, unpacking new characters, events, and player rewards.

Overview

  • Version 4.0, titled No Aha at Full Moon, centers on Aha’s Planarcadia, a cyberpunk-inspired world hosted by Madam Pearl with locales including Duomension City, Graphia Academy, and Dovebrook.
  • Planarcadia features the Phantasmoon Games and attention-driven combat where Elation, Punchlines, and Aha Instant mechanics shape encounters.
  • Two new 5-star Path of Elation characters join the roster: General Yao Guang, who boosts team Elation, applies Woe Lots debuffs, and restores Skill Points during Aha Instant, and Sparxie, who converts consumed Skill Points into team gifts that regenerate resources and add Elation damage.
  • Reruns arrive in two halves with Black Swan, Evernight, and Hysilens first, then Sparkle, Cerydra, and Rappa later, alongside kit tweaks for Black Swan and Sparkle.
  • Launch incentives include 20 free pulls, a free Ruan Mei outfit, up to 1,600 Stellar Jades via the Yao Guang fortune event, and a post-launch free 5-star selector, while a Fortnite collaboration on Feb. 26 brings Kafka and Blade skins, LEGO-style compatibility, extra cosmetics, and a free Blade outfit via Epic Games Store activities.
