Meet Luka: The Newest Addition to Honkai: Star Rail

Honkai: Star Rail's latest addition to its character roster is Luka, who has been unveiled ahead of Version 1.1 stream. The game has been teasing fans with upcoming characters such as Kafka and Blade from the Stellaron Hunters, but it appears that players will have to wait until Version 1.2 to see their debut.

Currently in its second phase, Honkai: Star Rail Version 1.0 features Jing Yuan as the exclusive banner character. With the upcoming update expected to release on June 7, players are hoping to see Luocha and Silver Wolf included in the banner pulls. Despite numerous leaks of unreleased characters, there is no concrete release date for them as of yet.

Following the announcement of Kafka and Blade on Honkai: Star Rail's Twitter account, the game's developers have now introduced players to an exciting new character named Luka. This four-star Physical character is reportedly following the Path of Nihility and comes with an impressive backstory. According to the post, Luka is a mixed martial arts fighter from Jarilo-VI's Underworld, sporting a mechanical arm and is a Wildfire member, along with Seele and Natasha. The promotional photo showcases Luka in the middle of a boxing ring, which is reminiscent of the Fight Club featured in the Boulder Town: Super League event.

While Honkai: Star Rail hasn't revealed when Luka will be released, many gamers are speculating that he will make his debut in Version 1.2 in mid-July. Some players are even hopeful that Luka will make an appearance during the Special Program stream tomorrow morning. Regardless of the release date, gamers are already expressing their excitement for Luka, with many saying they can't wait to add him to their roster.

Currently, Honkai: Star Rail has not yet announced the character lineup for its upcoming updates, but leaks have already surfaced regarding potential additions. However, it's important to take these leaks with a grain of salt as they have not been confirmed by HoYoverse. This is a common experience for fans of Genshin Impact who have had to wait years for leaked characters to become available.

Despite this, the main story of Honkai: Star Rail is far from over as Version 1.1 is still awaited by players to continue the Xianzhou storyline. It's possible that the next update will introduce new characters, which may or may not have been included in previous leaks, and fans are eagerly anticipating what's in store.

Honkai: Star Rail is available now for PC and mobile devices. PS4 and PS5 versions are in development.
