Honkai Impact 3rd’s Part 2 arrives seven years after the game made its mobile debut in Part 1, which wrapped up the game’s original arc earlier this year following its PC release in 2019. The current 1.5 update - dubbed Version Kiana - follows Kiana and her Valkyries in a battle against the corruptive energy of Honkai.
The story will take place after a time skip from the previous parts, meaning it will serve as a fresh way in - presumably aimed atGenshin Impactand Star Rail fans tempted to take a look.

Part 2 will also overhaul the game’s combat, introducing a new Astral Ring mechanic that allows characters to pop off their burst skills at the same time without needing to switch between them. On top of that, you’ll be able to jump now!
In return, enemies will react in more dynamic ways during battles, with a wider variety of behaviours.
Honkai Impact 3rd Part 2 will release in February 2024.
