Discover Honkai's Dynamic Duo: Sam and Elio Unveiled in Star Rail Surprise!

Highlights

Honkai: Star Rail's latest cinematic trailer hinted at the appearances of Sam and Elio, two characters mentioned but yet to be seen in the game.

The identity of the armored man in the trailer is speculated to be Sam, whereas the black cat is believed to be Elio, though no official confirmation has been made regarding these identities.

The presence of Sam appearing without his armor still remains an intriguing puzzle, with theories suggesting that he may be a humanoid mech or a distinct Antimatter Legion. Players will need to patiently await further information to uncover the truth.

Honkai: Star Rail may have finally unveiled the long-awaited appearances of Sam and Elio. These two characters have been frequently mentioned by Kafka, Blade, and Silver Wolf, but players of Honkai: Star Rail have yet to witness their presence in the game.

According to the Data Bank in Honkai: Star Rail, there were reports of four Stellaron Hunters who served under the leadership of Elio. Described as a "maniac who claims he can see destiny," Elio remains an enigmatic figure. On the other hand, Sam, known for their mysterious demeanor and lack of interaction with colleagues, has sparked rumors as a potential playable character in the game.

As of now, both Sam and Elio continue to be classified as non-player characters (NPCs), but leaked information suggests that Sam may soon join the ranks of playable characters in Honkai: Star Rail.

The latest cinematic for Honkai: Star Rail, titled "Myriad Celestia Trailer: The Jepella Rebellion - Scene 47," revealed the potential identities of Sam and Elio, much to the curiosity of many players. In this three-minute video, Kafka is on trial for stealing Stellarons, referred to as the "Cancer of All Worlds," from various planets. Confessing to her crimes and pleading guilty, Kafka appears to manipulate the judges, potentially leading to the Jepella Rebellion. Later in the video, Kafka reunites with her colleagues, one of whom is believed to be Sam, a tall figure in armor, urging her to cease her games. Additionally, a black cat is shown in the video, leading many viewers to believe that this could be Elio.

Fans of Honkai: Star Rail have praised the cinematic's quality and Kafka's voice acting. Among the comments, fans expressed their excitement at finally catching a glimpse of what Sam and Elio might look like. Although the identities of these characters have not been officially confirmed by HoYoverse, players strongly believe that the armored man is indeed Sam, as in-game text suggests that Kafka had a previous connection with someone wearing colossal armor. As for Elio, while there are no definitive indications that he is a cat, the presence of an animal in Kafka's splash art has sparked speculation.

The only remaining mystery is what Sam truly looked like without his armor. There were speculations that Sampo may be the hidden identity of the Stellaron Hunter due to their similar names. However, if Sam chose to keep his armor on, he could be a humanoid mech like Screwllum and Svarog, or possibly a distinct Antimatter Legion. For now, players of Honkai: Star Rail will have to patiently await how the game officially introduces the fourth Stellaron Hunter and Elio in the game.

Honkai: Star Rail is currently accessible for both PC and mobile devices. Versions for PS4 and PS5 are under development.
