Is there a Honkai Star Rail 1.3 release date?

No, HoYoverse has yet to reveal an official 1.3 release date. However, it’s speculated that we could see the 1.3 release on August 30, 2023. Phase 2 of the 1.3 update is also rumored to start in October, thanks to a leak surrounding a new character – Imbibitor Lunae.

According to a recent Honkai Star Rail leak, the 1.3 banners will see the debut of Fu Xuan in Phase 1. Fu Xuan is a 5-star Quantum character who Serves as the leader of the Divination Commission in Xianzhou Luofu.

As a member of The Preservation Path and a Quantum elemental user, Fu Xuan boasts robust defensive strengths. This enables her to protect her allies with powerful damage-reduction skills. 

The Honkai Star Rail 1.3 update will also introduce Imbibitor Lunae, the true form of Dan Heng. Unlike his current form, Imbibitor Lunae sees Dang Heng wield the Imaginary element, while also transforming his appearance.

We currently don’t know what 4-star characters will be joining Fu Xuan and Imbibitor Lunae, but we’ll update this section as soon as further information is available. It’s also important to take these leaks with a grain of salt, as HoYoverse could make changes to character release orders.
