Honkai: Star Rail Hands Out More Than 30 Free Pulls for Anniversary, All the Redemption Codes Here
Honkai: Star Rail is celebrating its third anniversary with significant in-game rewards and a major content update. Version 4.2, titled “So Laughed the Masses,” arrives on April 22, 2026, bringing new gameplay, story progression, and character additions to the popular live-service RPG.
Players will receive over 30 free pulls as part of the anniversary celebration, with additional redemption codes available offering 300 Stellar Jade each. The update introduces Silver Wolf LV.999, a new 5-star Imaginary character following the Path of Elation, whose abilities focus on supporting teammates. Her kit includes granting immunity to enemy control effects and spawning virtual “loot boxes” that apply various buffs to allies. Version 4.2 continues the ongoing Phantasmoon Games story arc and features reruns of previously released characters, providing returning and new players with multiple opportunities to expand their rosters.
The timing of the anniversary celebration just days after the major update reflects HoYoverse’s strategy of maintaining momentum during significant milestone events, offering players substantial free-to-play rewards alongside new paid gacha opportunities. Combined with the story continuation and character reruns, Version 4.2 represents a content-rich period for the game’s active playerbase.
