For clarity, only seven of these characters have been made official at the time of writing. One fan-made leak aggregate – which I won't link to directly for obvious reasons – has collated a sheet of 32 characters, backing up older claims that content up until update 2.5 has already been found. But also like Genshin, the game's already seen some remarkably far-reaching, albeit unverified, leaks covering playable characters. Like Genshin Impact, developer Hoyoverse's biggest game, Honkai Star Rail operates on a six-week update schedule, and official channels generally only seed information about the next update or two ahead of time.

The Honkai Star Rail 1.1 update time is fast approaching, yet the self-proclaimed leakers and insiders poking around the game are already looking months if not years ahead as they fill out a lineup of over 20 unannounced characters.
