Moreover, before each update, a beta version is released to selected players to test and balance characters and Light Cones.
HSR Version 3.4 Beta Release Date
The HSR version 3.4 beta is expected to start on May 22, 2025. According to a trusted leaker, even the earliest beta group will not get access before that date.
The delay seems to be because there are many more testers and groups this time, which makes the process take longer.
One reason for the large number of testers is the huge amount of content in version 3.4. This beta will test seven characters and twelve light cones.
According to leaks, out of the twelve, eight light cones will be added to the Battle Pass.
Further, three gacha light cones for Phainon, Archer, and Saber, and even a new cone from Memory of Chaos.
What To Expect In HSR Version 3.4
Version 3.4 is also expected to introduce three new 5-star characters. The characters and their types are listed below.
- Phainon – Physical Destruction character
- Archer – Quantum Hunt character
- Saber – Wind Destruction character
In addition to new characters, version 3.4 will also give buffs to older characters.
The characters that are expected to receive upgrades include Silver Wolf, Kafka, Blade, and Jingliu.
These buffs are said to directly improve their skills, making them more useful and powerful in battle.
Lastly, the official release of HSR version 3.4 is set for July 1, 2025 (UTC -5). With so much new content coming, this is one of the biggest updates the game has seen in a long time.
