Honkai: Star Rail is going back to Amphoreus. HoYoverse revealed the title of Version 5.5, "Who Else Remains Beyond the Story," last night at 8:12 PM MST, along with a key visual and a short message confirming that the Trailblaze will continue on the world at the center of the game's 3.x updates. The post has passed 44,000 likes and 12,700 reposts. Check out the official post down below:
The same message went up on HoYoLAB under the title "Version 5.5 | Who Else Remains Beyond the Story." HoYoverse has not announced a release date, characters or story details for the version, and no trailer has been released yet. The reveal consists of the key visual and its 2-line caption.
What The Version 5.5 Key Visual Shows
The art is framed by stone columns and shows a glowing blue spiral of stars hanging over a dark sea. An arc of 12 lit-up symbols crosses the sky above it. Under the Version 5.5 title is a line of text in an in-game script, followed by the caption "Then, people walk from yesterday towards tomorrow."
The wording follows on from Version 3.7, the last chapter set on Amphoreus, which was titled "As Tomorrow Became Yesterday."
Amphoreus In Honkai: Star Rail
Amphoreus, also called The Eternal Land, is the 5th world the Astral Express can visit in Honkai: Star Rail. Its story began in Version 3.0, "Paean of Era Nova," on January 15, 2025, and ran through Version 3.7, "As Tomorrow Became Yesterday," on November 5, 2025. The world's Trailblaze Mission chapters include Heroic Saga of Flame-Chase, The Fall at Dawn's Rise, For the Sun is Set to Die, Back to Earth in Evernight and As Tomorrow Became Yesterday.
The setting drew on Greek myth. Its 6 major cities were Okhema, the "Eternal Holy City," Janusopolis, the Grove of Epiphany, Castrum Kremnos, Styxia and the snow city of Aidonia. The Chrysos Heirs, including Phainon and Cyrene, were tasked with taking back the Coreflames held by the Titans to save the world from the black tide.
Spoilers for the end of the 3.x story follow. The Trailblazer and the Express crew learned that Amphoreus was a simulated world run by Scepter δ-me13, which had extrapolated at least 28,371,292 cycles of it. After the events of "As Tomorrow Became Yesterday," the Scepter was destroyed, and its data was recovered by Herta and Screwllum. Amphoreus is now being reborn inside the Memory Zone, and Herta has said that spreading the story of Amphoreus will quicken its return. Version 5.5 is the first confirmed update to go back there.
Where Honkai: Star Rail Is Now
Version 4.0, "No Aha At Full Moon," launched on February 13 and moved the story to Planarcadia. The current update is Version 4.7, "Now, Lay Laughter to All Stars," which went live yesterday and runs until December 22. It added Aeon ★ Aha as a playable 5-star, a new Trailblaze Mission, a new Currency Wars season and a free limited 5-star selector. The banner details are in Honkai: Star Rail 4.7 Phase I Warp Brings Aeon Aha As A Playable 5-Star Alongside 3 Elation Reruns.
HoYoverse has kept releasing music from the current arc as well. It posted the "Ex Nihilo" music video last night, opening with the line "Upon the first echo of 'Aha,' the Elation shall be born anew," and the Planarcadia soundtrack album "Let There Be Laughter (Part 3)" is now out with 48 tracks from HOYO-MiX.
Honkai: Star Rail is available on PC, PlayStation 5, iOS and Android.
