Honkai Star Rail version 1.2 update: Which characters are rumored to appear?

Players have been participating in numerous events with the ongoing Honkai Star Rail 1.1. HoYoverse is also scheduled to release three new characters this patch, with Silver Wolf already making her way into everyone's roster. While the next big Star Rail update is more than a month away, the community is already looking to save for one of the most popular characters, Kafka.

Based on numerous leaks and rumors online, it is now very likely that the upcoming version 1.2 in Honkai Star Rail will have much more content than just Kafka. In this article, we'll go through just that.

Based on the aforementioned list, players can also expect their release order in a similar pattern. Blade is expected to release in the first phase of the update on July 18, while Kafka will appear in the second phase alongside Luka.
