- Edo Star is expected to be the next trailblazing destination in Honkai Star Rail.
- This planet is nestled within a vast ion storm region and is administered by the IPC.
- Edo Star was recently attacked by the Anti-Matter Legion, likely led by Celenova.
The world of Honkai Star Rail is filled with countless planets, many of which are referenced in the story now and then. Edo Star is one of the planets that directly shares an etymology with Japanese culture, something that has been missing in Honkai Star Rail so far. It is widely believed that Edo Star is the next destination in HSR, but is that true? Here is everything we know so far about the rumored Edo Star planet in HSR and our take on whether it is the next trailblazing destination.
What is Edo Star in Honkai Star Rail?
Edo Star is one of the planets in the vast Honkai Star Rail universe. This place is particularly famous among players as it was one of the suggested destinations at the end of the Penacony arc. After the Astral Express crew agreed to head to Edo Star, Black Swan came up with the proposal to visit the HSR 3.0 expansion region, Amphoreus.
From the game’s lore, we know that Edo Star is a planet nestled within a vast ion storm region and is administered by the IPC. We have also learned that Edo Star was attacked by the Antimatter Legion, led by the Lord Ravager Celenova. Although IPC claims to have fought off the attack, the planet is under temporary lockdown.
Is Edo Star the Next Destination for Honkai Star Rail?
It is most likely that Edo Star is the next destination for the Astral Crew after Amphoreus shenanigans. Most leaks hint at Edo Star, although the name for the next location has yet to be revealed officially. So, how do the leaks point to it?
First of all, the Honkai Star Rail character 4.x leak revealed that Yae Sakura and Pearl are expected to become playable, alongside other new characters. Yae Sakura has been leaked to have a Japanese Samurai-style appearance, and Pearl is one of the Ten Stonehearts of the IPC.
Moreover, Edo generally refers to the “Edo” period in Japanese culture. So, if we put all the hints together, it more than likely hints that Edo Star is the next destination, seeing how both a big IPC and a Japanese character are becoming playable in the next arc.
Also, we have yet to see a Japanese-inspired world in Honkai Star Rail. Both Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd have their respective versions of Japan, so Edo Star being the next destination for HSR is quite plausible.
