In addition to this lineup of permanent content, login events, and double drop periods, we're getting three limited-time events during the 1.3 update to Honkai Star Rail.
Here's everything we know about all time-limited events in Honkai Star Rail 1.3:
Aurum Alley's Hustle and Bustle
The Hustle and Bustle event in Arrum's Alley starts on Thursday 31st August and ends on Monday 18th September. You have to complete the 'Xianzhou Luofu - Obsequies Performed, A Long Road Ahead' Trailblazer Mission in order to take part in the event.
Aurum Alley is a permanent new area to the Xianzhou Luofu, and is introduced during this Hustle and Bustle event - and you can get a free Sushang character for taking part!
As for the gameplay, the Aurum Alley's Hustle and Bustle event looks a lot like the previous museum event on Belobog, as you have to arrange cargo shipments and plan logistics routes to gain funds. These funds are then used to revamp Arum Alley.
However, this event differs slightly, as it seems you can influence the fate of the alley by siding with the IPC or local merchant guilds.
While some rewards are tied to completing this event during version 1.3, Aurum Alley's Hustle and Bustle will be permanently replayable in the future through Conventional Memoir and keeps some rewards, such as the Ingenium Dreams phone wallpaper.
The rewards you can earn from the Aurum Alley's Hustle and Bustle event include:
- Free Sushang character
- 1,840 Stellar Jade
- x1 Self-Modeling Resin
- x1 Star Rail Pass
- x3 Tracks of Destiny
- Ingenium Dreams phone wallpaper
Simulated Universe - The Swarm Disaster
The Swarm Disaster event is now permanently available from Wednesday 6th September, so isn't limited to version 1.3. However, you have to clear World 5 in the Simulated Universe in order to take part in the event.
This huge event is billed as an 'expansion' to the Simulated Universe, but its gameplay is actually pretty different than that of the normal Simulated Universe.
You have to navigate through randomly generated domains - with their own unique challenges - by way of a pattern that resembles a chessboard. In these domains, you can take advantage of new Curios, Random Events and the Audience Die and Communing Device. This new system lets you roll a die at the Communing Device before each turn to generate special effects like party buffs, or altering the chessboard.
All of this work is in search of answers to the mystery surrounding The Propagation Aeon and The Swarm it unleashed in the past, and you're rewarded with conversations with other Aeons when you resonate with specific Path Spaces.
Additionally, a new boss, The Swarm: True Stings, is waiting at the final domain of the third plane of each exploration. This boss can split and multiply, so you have to control the battlefield effectively to defeat it in combat.
Once you complete this event, you'll permanently gain access to the Path of Propagation in the Simulated Universe.
The rewards you can earn from the Simulated Universe - The Swarm Disaster event include:
- x2 Self-Modeling Resin
- Stellar Jade
- Star Rail Passes
- Tracks of Destiny
- Relic Remains material
- Credits
Space Station Task Force
Space Station Task Force starts on Monday 25th September and ends on Monday 9th October. You have to be at least Trailblazer Level 21 in order to take part in the event.
The Space Station Task Force event resembles the Assignments feature, as you have to send a team of characters out to collect rewards. However, for this event your teams are ranked, and the higher the rank, the more rewards you receive.
The rewards you can earn from the Space Station Task Force event include:
- Stellar Jade
- Light Cone Level Up materials
- Relic EXP materials
- Credits
