Honkai Impact 3: An Exclusive Sneak Peek into the Arrival of the Most Anticipated Character!

Highlights

According to a recent leak, the highly anticipated character, Stellaron Hunter Sam, will finally make his appearance in Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.0. However, there is an unexpected twist - instead of being a playable character, Sam will be introduced as a formidable boss enemy.

Fans eagerly awaited Sam's intense boss battle, yet were let down upon learning he would not be playable.

The leaked Version 2.0 banner selection allegedly features Hanabi/Sparkle, Black Swan, and Misha. However, these claims remain unverified and should be approached with skepticism.

A leak for Honkai: Star Rail has revealed exciting details about the long-awaited debut of Sam, a new character. With its diverse roster of characters, each with unique abilities and intriguing backstories, the HoYoverse title has captivated players and kept them engaged. Since its release in April, Honkai: Star Rail has already garnered a massive following worldwide, thanks to its compelling characters and exceptional banner units. In the upcoming Version 1.4, players can look forward to the introduction of five-star characters Jingliu and Topaz, as well as the four-star character Guinaifen, all of whom have garnered attention for their distinctive abilities and personalities. Additionally, Version 1.4 will mark the first time Honkai: Star Rail will include a banner re-run for Seele.

Recently, renowned leaker hsr_stuff2, according to Stepleaker, disclosed that the highly anticipated figure, Stellaron Hunter Sam, is set to make his grand entrance in Version 2.0. While it was previously presumed that Sam would join the ranks of playable characters such as Kafka, Blade, and Silver Wolf, reports indicate that he will actually assume the role of a formidable boss enemy in an upcoming update.

The leaker did not disclose any additional details regarding the boss battle. However, many Honkai: Star Rail fans expressed their enthusiasm for the news. One fan anticipated Sam to present a formidable challenge, while another speculated that he would surpass Svarog in strength. On the other hand, some fans appeared disappointed with the possibility of Sam not being a playable character, especially considering the rumors about Firefly being his companion in the future. This would imply a similar dynamic to Clara and Svarog's partnership.

Currently, Sam is an NPC in the story of Honkai: Star Rail, but has been mentioned in conversations with the Stellaron Hunters. His true identity has remained a mystery since the game's release, leading to fan speculation that he could possibly be Sampo in disguise. Last August, Honkai: Star Rail unveiled Sam's armored appearance in Kafka's cinematic, accompanied by a black cat believed to be their leader, Elio.

In addition to Sam's rumored appearance, the leaker has also disclosed the Version 2.0 banner lineup, showcasing Hanabi/Sparkle and Black Swan as the five-star characters, along with Misha as the four-star character. It should be noted that these reports have not been officially confirmed by HoYoverse yet, so fans of Honkai: Star Rail should approach them with caution, especially considering that the game is still preparing for the release of Version 1.4 in a few days. However, if the reports turn out to be true, then fans of Honkai: Star Rail can expect an exciting few months ahead. Honkai: Star Rail is currently available on PC and mobile devices, and will be released on PS5 on October 11.
