Bangboo NPC Appearances in Honkai: Star Rail
This leak shares datamined images of several Bangboo NPCs expected to appear in Version 4.8 of Honkai: Star Rail, via NeonTeam. Featuring different Bangboo designs, including Eous and a particularly large Sharkboo that has caught the community’s attention. Players have reacted positively to the new appearances, with many discussing the unusual size of Sharkboo and expressing interest in seeing some of the Bangboos become available as potential companions.
Upcoming Boss in Honkai: Star Rail 4.8
A new mechanical boss expected to appear in Version 4.8, sourced via Seele. The boss features a large golden and white robotic design, which appears to be connected to the Bangboo mecha from Zenless Zone Zero. Could this new boss take on some similar mechanics to that in ZZZ or will we see a brand new gameplay? Players are excited to see what new bossess and enemies will appear in the upcoming collaboration.
Astra Yao and Ellen Joe Phone Case Designs
The ZZZ and HSR collaboration will introduce 2 new Phone Case designs for the 2 characters. Offering a closer look at the characters’ personalised phones and their decorative cases. Ellen’s phone features a cute, character-themed design that reflects her personality, while Astra’s phone is also shown with its own unique appearance matching her colour theme.
Upcoming Speculated Map Layout
Players are already excited for this official collaboration if not moreso than the previous Fate collaboration. This leak provides a blueprint style overview of a large, complex architectural structure, potentially revealing a new exploration area. Community speculation has focused on where the map could be located, with suggestions including Belobog, Planarcadia and Astropolis.
