Ready up, Trailblazers: Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.7 As Tomorrow Became Yesterday lands globally November 4–5—check the exact drop time for your region.

Honkai: Star Rail is rolling out Version 3.7 this week, and the name is very on-brand: 'As Tomorrow Became Yesterday.' It closes out the current Amphoreus arc, adds a new permanent mode, brings in fresh maps, and yes, there is a shiny new 5-star to pull for. Here is when it hits and everything packed into it.

When 3.7 goes live

HoYoverse is pushing the update on November 5, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. (UTC+8). Thanks to time zones, the Americas actually get it the evening of November 4, while Europe and most of Asia land on the 5th.

Expect the usual pre-patch maintenance downtime with Stellar Jade compensation, and you can preload the patch so you are not staring at a progress bar when servers flip.

  • North America (Nov 4): 7:00 PM PST, 8:00 PM MST, 9:00 PM CST, 10:00 PM EST
  • Europe (Nov 5): 3:00 AM WET, 4:00 AM CET, 5:00 AM EET
  • Asia (Nov 5): 8:30 AM IST, 11:00 AM CST/PHT, 12:00 PM JST/KST

What 3.7 actually is

This update wraps the Amphoreus storyline and drops new maps, a permanent gameplay mode, limited-time events, and a single headliner character. It is a chunky patch.

The new 5-star: Cyrene

Cyrene is the lone new 5-star in 3.7. She is an Ice unit on the Path of Remembrance, built as a support who amps up team damage, with extra synergy for members of the Chrysos Heirs. The gist is simple: she tags specific allies with strong, targeted buffs and makes them hit much harder, which should slot her into a lot of team comps.

Her signature Light Cone, 'This Love, Forever,' shows up on the limited Brilliant Fixation banner and leans on Speed and Critical Damage stats. There is also a new 4-star Light Cone, 'Fly Into a Pink Tomorrow,' earnable through the Trailblaze Mission titled 'As Tomorrow Became Yesterday.'

Warp banners: two phases, here is the lineup

Phase 1 runs November 4–26, 2025. The 5-star characters in rotation are Cyrene (new), Hyacine, Castorice, and Tribbie. On the Brilliant Fixation side, look for 'This Love, Forever' alongside 'Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky,' 'Make Farewells More Beautiful,' and 'If Time Were a Flower.' The 4-star character rate-ups are Moze, Lynx, and Pela.

Phase 2 runs November 26–December 16, 2025. The 5-star characters are Phainon, Cipher, and Mydei. The 5-star Light Cones featured are 'Thus Burns the Dawn,' 'Lies Dance on the Breeze,' 'Flame of Blood,' and 'Blaze My Path.' The 4-star rate-ups do not change: Moze, Lynx, and Pela return for the second half as well.

New permanent mode: Currency Wars

Currency Wars is sticking around permanently and lets you field 10-character lineups to mess with deeper ability combos. Clear its challenges and you will earn special resources, including Deep Immersifier and Fuel Vouchers, which are there to make relic and material farming less of a slog.

Limited-time events and bonuses

Plenty to do from early November through mid-December:

Snack Dash (Nov 5–Dec 15): You place bets on racers and cash out prizes if your picks pan out.

Relic Recon (Nov 5–Dec 15): A straight shot at fully leveled 5-star relics, which is exactly as useful as it sounds.

Gift of Odyssey (Nov 5–Dec 16): Logins add up to 10 free Star Rail Special Passes.

Cherished Recollection (Nov 5–Dec 16): Grind this to unlock Cyrene's bow-themed Stellar Couture skin.

Planar Fissure (Nov 17–Dec 1): Simulated Universe Worlds pay double rewards during the window.

Garden of Plenty (Dec 5–Dec 15): Calyx stages hand out double drops, so plan your stamina.

A free limited 5-star, too

Through the Golden Companion Spirit event, you can claim Topaz & Numby for free. The claim period runs all the way until the end of Version 4.0, so you do not need to rush in 3.7 if your schedule is packed.

That is the lay of the land for 3.7. Preload now, snag the compensation Jade after maintenance, and maybe clear some inventory space if you are planning to chase Cyrene and her Light Cone.
