Okay, so I’ve been hyped for Jade in Honkai: Star Rail, just like everyone else. I wanted to get a solid grasp on when she might actually be released, so I did a little digging. And let me tell you, it was a bit of a rollercoaster.

First, I scoured the official Honkai: Star Rail channels – you know, the usual suspects like their social media, website, and any official announcements. Nothing concrete. Lots of beautiful artwork and lore, but no dates. Sigh.
Then, I dove into the forums and communities. Reddit, Discord, you name it. Everyone’s got theories, everyone’s got “inside info,” but it’s all just speculation. One person says one thing, another says something completely different. It’s a mess!
My Little Research Journey
I started by noting down what others mentioned. It was hard. Too much noise, too much speculation from everywhere, very tiring.
So I gave up and just waited for a new update.
After a couple of days, I saw a few that look like leaks.

I clicked in and saw a few familiar names, thought “Oh, that should be right, I guess?”
Then I finally got the point, It’s 2.3, yay.
