8.1 Honkai Impact 3rd Anniversary Gifts, Battlesuit, and AstralOp Shown

HoYoVerse will be celebrating the eighth anniversary of Honkai Impact 3rd in the next update, and it teased the AstralOp character, Battlesuit addition, and other rewards we’ll find in 8.1. Everything is poised to arrive later in February 2025 when the update dropped.

First, HoYoVerse shared a number of infographics highlighting when some of the anniversary rewards will start to roll-out in Honkai Impact 3rd ahead of and during 8.1. The three login bonus events will be held on February 13, 2025, February 20, 2025, and February 25, 2025. Among these will be an option to pick one of four Battlesuits as a free bonus. Supply bonuses will include an option to get a discount on pulls for the new Kiana Battlesuit and an additional outfit, with those kicking off on February 20, 2025. There are also some event bonuses, like another costume and in-game currency, which start on February 20, 2025, and more promised for March 2025. The First Top-up Reset for currency will also reset. 

Here are all four of those infographics.

As for the two new YouTube shorts, those offer quick glimpses of the 8.1 Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana Kaslana Battlesuit and Theresa Apocalypse AstralOp characters. First, here’s Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star:

Next, here’s the Theresa S-rank AstralOp.  

In 2024, a new Battlesuit for her called Schicksal’s Imperative appeared.

Honkai Impact 3rd is available for PCs and mobile devices, and players can register for the 8.1 test server in-game now.
