Honkai: Star Rail version 4.7 "Now, Lay Laughter to All Stars" is live

Honkai: Star Rail 4.7, "Now, Lay Laughter to All Stars", is live. Maintenance began on 11 November 2026 at 06:00 (UTC+8), that is, 11:00 p.m. Rome time on 10 November, with an expected duration of about five hours. The game's official website now shows the version as online, in line with the indicative end of the work at around 4:00 a.m. Rome time.

At the heart of the update is the new limited 5-star character Aeon ★ Aha, of the Quantum element and the Path of Elation. Aha grants an ascension to the Path of Elation and introduces the "Aha Instant" mechanic and the "Aeonic Authority", which according to the official notes lets allies' damage reduce enemies' max HP. Also added are the Trailblaze mission "Planarcadia — Now, Lay Laughter to All Stars" (Trailblaze Level 21 or above) and the new areas Starfroster and Moment of Joy. The version remains active until 23 December 2026 at 06:00 (UTC+8).

The "Grab Your Opening Gifts" event, open to players at Trailblaze Level 4 or higher, lets you obtain one of Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae and Jing Yuan, with the materials to take them to level 60, and an Affinitive Eidolon of your choice from the same three. The Affinitive Eidolon is a new type of Eidolon that unlocks additional abilities regardless of the Eidolon level already owned. The same event also includes a Golden Companion Spirit, 20 Star Rail Special Passes obtainable through the event's cumulative logins in "Aha Reckons You Need This", and other cosmetic items. The new Currency Wars season, "Voyage Into the Canvas", also begins.

Players at Trailblaze Level 4 or higher before maintenance began receive 300 Stellar Jade as compensation for the downtime and another 300 as compensation for bugs, sent by in-game mail within five hours of the end of the update. The update applies to the PC, iOS, Android and PlayStation 5 clients.
