After the "afterword" of the previous version, the journey of Pinocchio in "Honkai Impact 3: Star Railroad" (hereinafter referred to as "Star Railroad") finally came to an end. At this time, the players received an invitation from General Jing Yuan and went to the "Immortal Ship" Luofu to revisit the old place, and the story of the new version 2.4 began.



To be honest, when I came to the preview live broadcast room, I was just looking forward to the content of the new version like most players. But when the news of the linkage with FateUBW was finally announced, almost no one expected that "Star Iron" would choose to link with such a "white moonlight" level work, which also pushed the atmosphere of the entire preview to a climax...



Before discussing the linkage, let’s take a look at the rest of the 2.4 preview.

In the new version, Yunli, Jiaoqiu, and the new form of Sanyueqi will all meet players. As a swordsman from the immortal ship "Zhu Ming", Yunli not only has superb martial arts, but also has outstanding ability in forging weapons. In battle, she can skillfully use her forged weapon "Lao Tie" to "subdue others with force" through blocking and counterattack, making the enemy suffer for themselves.



As the aide of "General Yaoqing" Feixiao, Jiaoqiu's fighting style is more inclined to stand behind the scenes. Not only can he inflict negative effects of burning on the enemy, but he can also further increase the damage caused through finishing moves.



Then there is the familiar old friend of the players, the "Legendary New Swordsman" Sanyueqi. Sanyueqi not only gained a new fate patrol, but also her fighting style has changed. Through her special "apprenticeship" fighting skills, Sanyueqi can not only unlock different attack effects according to the fate of the "master", but also learn from the "master's" battle, gain extra attacks, and further strengthen her combat power.



In the plot, when the "Martial Arts Ceremony" was being held, the imprisoned Bu Liren suddenly appeared and disrupted everything. Players need to go to the new map "Prison of Hell", pass through layers of obstacles, and fight with the extremely fierce Bu Liren to find out the truth. It is worth noting that the new plot of the Immortal Boat part will last for two versions. As for how the story will develop, everything will be revealed when the new version is launched.



Finally, there are the new gameplay, optimizations, and linkages of the new version. In the "First Flower Sword Learning Record" event, players can serve as the "assistant" of March 7 and participate in a "limited-time development" event. In terms of optimization, for new players, with the lowering of the threshold for version activities in version 2.4, players with a development level greater than level 21 can also participate in the latest activities in one step.



The most practical change for me is the screening and optimization of the relic system. For old players, the screening plan saving, one-click locking and disposal functions can clean up the piles of relics more quickly, and the newly added relic entry recommendations are more convenient for newbies, allowing them to quickly find the relics needed for their characters and experience the fun of the game more conveniently.



Another major focus is the collaboration with FateUBW. Although there is still a year before the collaboration is launched, and the collaboration between Star-Tetsu is only one of the works in the Fate series, many players have already begun to imagine what form this collaboration will take. In addition to the collaboration characters or limited appearances, some people even brought up the content of the collaboration between Honkai Impact 3 and EVA, hoping that Star-Tetsu can also open a dedicated collaboration version for FateUBW...



On a more peripheral level, this collaboration has also become a bridge between Fate series fans and the "Star-Gate" player group. Many Fate series fans are looking forward to being able to directly control Fate characters in "Star-Gate", and "Star-Gate" players who have only heard of the name but have never experienced Fate works have a strong interest in the world view and story of this old two-dimensional IP...



In short, although the new version of "Star-Tetsu" does not directly lead players to a new world, it does not mean that this trip back to the old place will become boring. On the contrary, version 2.4 not only brings players attractive plots and gameplay like the previous versions, but also the linkage with FateUBW makes people look forward to more subsequent linkage information while "double fans are ecstatic". This also makes people believe that the future "Star-Tetsu" can continue to bring us more surprises like this time.
