Honkai: Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero both graced The Game Awards 2024 with exciting new trailers. The Honkai: Star Rail trailer offered a first look at the upcoming location, Amphoreus, and teased a mysterious new character, Castorice. The footage also revisited previously explored locations.
The Amphoreus preview, with its Grecian-inspired aesthetic, is sure to excite Honkai fans. The trailer's allusions to ancient Greek culture, particularly the unit of measurement "ampheoreus," strongly suggest a Hellenic influence on this new region.
The identity of Castorice remains shrouded in mystery, adding to the anticipation surrounding her role in the story. This follows MiHoYo's recent trend of introducing enigmatic female characters before their official reveal.
A Glimpse into the Future
Amphoreus's visually stunning Greek-inspired setting aligns perfectly with MiHoYo's known practice of incorporating real-world cultures into their fantasy worlds. Theories surrounding the name's connection to an ancient Greek measurement unit further solidify this Hellenic inspiration.
Castorice's enigmatic presence continues MiHoYo's pattern of unveiling mysterious female characters before their full introductions. Her air of mystery surpasses even that of previously introduced characters.
