Following the reveal of Kafka and Blade onHonkai: Star Rail’s Twitter account, it introduced fans to a new four-star Physical character named Luka, who’s reportedly following the Path of Nihility. According to the post, he’s a mixed martial arts fighter from Jarilo-VI’s Underworld who has a mechanical arm, and is a Wildfire member, along with Seele and Natasha. The photo also shows Luka in the middle of a boxing ring, which resembles the Fight Club featured in theBoulder Town: Super League event.
Just like Kafka and Blade,Honkai: Star Raildidn’t specify when Luka would come out. But many players surmised that they would be released in Version 1.2 in mid-July, and could possibly make an appearance in theSpecial Program streamtomorrow morning. Nonetheless, they already expressed their excitement for Luka, with many saying they couldn’t wait to pull for him once he becomes available.
WhileHonkai: Star Railhas kept mum about the character lineups for each of its updates, many leaks have revealed what players could expect. The leak showingunreleasedStar Railcharacter modelsare rumored to arrive within the year, but of course,players should still take them with a grain of salt. HoYoverse hasn’t confirmed many of the characters and their release dates yet. It’s a lesson that manyGenshin Impactfans know as they sometimes waited a couple of years for leaked characters to become available.
As of writing,Honkai: Star Rail’s main story seems to be far from done as players are waiting for Version 1.1 to continue the rest of the Xianzhou storyline. The next update might even introduce new characters, which may or may not be included in past leaks, and many players would likely be anticipating them.
