Everybody loves Honkai Star Rail hunter Kafka, and HoYoverse is aware of it. Regardless of not but having a launch date, many Honkai Star Rail gamers are ardently saving up each final Star Cross and Stellar Jade they’ll get their palms on within the anime sport till the purple-haired Lightning knowledgeable makes an look on a Honkai Star Rail banner. Now, it seems to be like that day is perhaps nearer than ever as developer HoYoverse teases Kafka’s arrival.

As the primary character you lay eyes (and palms) on within the tutorial, it’s not too shocking that Kafka’s trendy seems to be, her sultry voice offered by Cheryl Texiera, and her explosive final assault full with extraordinarily meme-worthy open-mouthed “Growth” meant she captured the hearts of many Honkai gamers earlier than some other character even acquired a glance in.

She’s additionally the one who awakens your participant character, and provides you a heat smile and embrace as she slides a spark of life into your vessel and explains the journey you’re about to go on. In some ways, she’s maybe the closest factor your Honkai avatar has to a mom determine – though I’m not sure that’s fairly what all of the gamers calling her “mommy” on social media keep in mind.

The excellent news for all you Kafka-lovers (and I’m very a lot together with myself in that) is that HoYoverse appears to be teasing her arrival very closely on social media. Sharing a picture of Kafka along with her iconic quote, “You gained’t bear in mind a factor besides me,” on Twitter, the Honkai Star Rail account shares some lore on the Stellaron Hunter, ending with the road “Kafka will get to work.”

This follows on from a earlier tease of swordsman Blade the day earlier than, with the pair of five-star Honkai Star Rail characters anticipated to be the headliners of the 1.2 replace. You in all probability gained’t get to select up Kafka as quickly as Honkai Star Rail 1.1 arrives, then, however that simply provides us all just a little longer to save lots of up our Stellar Jades for when she does lastly pull into the interstellar station.

Suffice to say gamers are hyped. A fast flick thru the Twitter feedback or a put up masking the announcement on the Honkai Star Rail Reddit web page reveals nothing however individuals calculating precisely what number of pulls they’ll save up earlier than Kafka’s launch, or sharing pictures, memes, and enthusiastic textual content posts declaring their love for her.

I’m definitely keen to select her up – like many, I used to be instantly enamoured by her fantastically trendy final, and there’s one thing significantly comforting about going for a personality you’ve already used in-game, nevertheless briefly. And the style? Unmatched. Honkai’s solid are not any slouches relating to model, however I believe Kafka simply may need the remaining overwhelmed.

For now, have a look by the Honkai Star Rail tier listing to see who’s strongest on the battlefield, and ensure you don’t miss any Honkai Star Rail codes if you wish to ensure you have as a lot foreign money as doable to tug for Kafka when she comes.
