Exciting news for Honkai: Star Rail fans as a recent leak unveils intriguing tidbits about Castorice, a character set to join the Chrysos Heirs roster. With Version 3.0 slated for a January release, the game will transport players to Amphoreus, a planet where Greek mythology echoes in every corner.
Amphoreus, dubbed “The Eternal Land,” marks the game’s fourth grand destination. It’s a place shrouded in mystery, as even the legendary Trailblaze hasn’t ventured there. Details remain sparse, but it’s known that the Chrysos Heirs have a hand in its revival after centuries of turmoil between gods and mortals.
Appearing prominently in the Golden Epic trailer, Castorice emerges as the guardian of the River of Souls, also known as Styx. Speculation is rife among fans that she might be inspired by Charon, the famed ferryman of the underworld. Renowned leaker Seele Leaks, however, suggests Castorice might actually embody one of the Three Titans of Calamity, playing the role of “Thanatos, Hand of Grey.” She’s also associated with the enigmatic Coreflame of Death, symbolized by a withering flower in her grasp in the “The Worlds You’ve Never Been” teaser.
The bond between Castorice and death ties closely to Greek mythology, where Thanatos represents a gentle escort for those at life’s end. This fits with her narrative as the River of Souls guardian, suggesting she possesses a lethal touch. Fans are abuzz with questions about what a Coreflame is and the significance of the Chrysos Heirs’ Flame-Chasing.
Anticipation is building as players eagerly await the chance to engage with Castorice and her companions in the next chapter of their adventure. Rumor has it she’ll debut as a Quantum-type Remembrance character in Version 3.2, though these details might shift as new information surfaces. Regardless, the stage is set for thrilling escapades on Amphoreus, with a launch date set for January 15, 2025.
