In the responses, many fans were surprised by it Honkai: Star Rail revealed a new path, especially since Remembrance is only available as a boon in the simulated universe. Others also expressed their struggle with choosing between The Herta and Aglaea in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.0's banner.



What does Aglaea being a commemorative character for Honkai: Star Rail mean?

It has been rumored for a while that Honkai: Star Rail will introduce the new Path of Remembrance in version 3.0, with Trailblazer possibly using it for his next form. Some leaks suggest that Remembrance characters will have the unique ability to summon “servants”, which have their own attacks and skills on the battlefield. Given that Aglaea is a seamstress and that her splash art includes mannequins, it's possible that she might be able to summon one or more of them to aid her in battle. HoYoverse has yet to confirm the earning mechanic, but if true, it will be the first time that Honkai: Star Rail will incorporate this into their gameplay. It will definitely be interesting to see how the mechanic can change the meta and affect team compositions in version 3.0 and beyond.

In the meantime, Honkai: Star Rail fans will have to wait until December for the official version 3.0 Special Program stream, which will tease the next Trailblaze Continuance Missions, Amphoreus locations, and Aglaea and The Hertas' complete kits. It may even showcase other playable characters that will be released in the next few months of 2025.
