Over the last few days, the headling 5-stars for the start of Honkai: Star Rail’s big Version 3.0 update have been showcased across social media in several exciting drip marketing posts, revealing both The Herta, the 5-star variant of Herta, and Aglaea, the first Remembrance character. Well, there seems to be one more surprise up Hoyoverse’s sleeve as they’ve dropped another piece of drip marketing to reveal which Path the Trailblazer will be walking during the 3.0 patches.
After revealing Aglaea as the first Remembrance Path character in yesterday’s drip marketing, the next Path for the Trailblazer has also been confirmed as Remembrance. To be more specific, the Trailblazer will be the first Ice Remembrance unit. This means that all players in 3.0 will get to experience the new gimmicks and gameplay opportunities afforded by a Remembrance Path unit, whether they pull for Aglaea or stick to using the F2P Trailblazer. The drip marketing shows both versions of the Trailblazer – Caelus and Stelle – wielding a fancy golden pen and accompanied by a strange Paimon-like creature known as Mem.
“Travel? I like. With you, together?”
“The Trailblazer sets sail toward the unknown. Alongside their newest companion, Mem, they will record the adventures and stories they experience in Amphoreus, and “memories” will flourish eternally, paving the path for the journey ahead and recording glorious sagas.”

The Trailblazer has gotten a new Path for every major destination that the Astral Express visits, similar to how the Traveller gets a new element each time they visit a new nation in Genshin Impact, so speculation has been rife for months about what new form they would get next. Often, main characters in gacha games lack power compared to premium units but, in Star Rail’s case, the Trailblazer is always relatively powerful; the Harmony Trailblazer, in particular, was meta-defining because of how that Path introduced the integral Super Break mechanic. Many are likely hoping that the Remembrance Trailblazer shares a similar fate.
Drip marketing is a term used in gacha game circles to describe certain pieces of promotional material, mostly those used to excite or announce new units prior to their official kit reveal. Hoyoverse tends to release batches of drip marketing for its suite of gacha titles—Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero—a full version before the featured characters are set to join the game. This gives players time to change their pull plans or save up the required premium currency.
The massive Version 3.0 update for Honkai: Star Rail, which will feature a new destination with the introduction of Amphoreus as well as the arrival of The Herta, Aglaea, and The Remembrance Path for the Trailblazer, will be available in early February. In the meantime, Version 2.7, the last of the 2.0 patches, is set to go live in early December.
