HoYoVerse is making waves with back-to-back announcements! Following the preview of Honkai: Star Rail version 2.6, details on Honkai Impact 3rd version 7.8, titled "Planetary Rewind," have been revealed.

Honkai Impact 3rd Version 7.8: Launching October 17th

This update introduces new battlesuits, events, and a wealth of rewards. A highlight is Vita's new battlesuit, Lone Planetfarer, a MECH-type Lightning DMG dealer.

She also benefits from Astral Ring Specialization: Rite of Oblivion. The Divine Key Waxing Moon and its PRI-ARM variant, Divine Key Waxing Moon: Incipience, are also making their debut.
