Following The Game Awards 2024, while many are reviewing the winners, we're focusing on the exciting trailers! MiHoYo's Honkai: Star Rail took center stage, sharing screen time with Zenless Zone Zero at the prestigious Los Angeles event. The new footage offered a sneak peek at Amphoreus, the next game destination, and introduced the enigmatic Castorice. The trailer also revisited previously explored locations.
The brief glimpses of Amphoreus are sure to excite Honkai fans. However, the identity and role of Castorice remain a captivating mystery.
Amphoreus and Castorice: Unveiling the Mysteries
Amphoreus' Grecian-inspired aesthetic aligns with MiHoYo's established pattern of drawing inspiration from real-world cultures for its fantasy settings. Interestingly, "ampheoreus" was an ancient Greek unit of measurement, further supporting this Hellenic influence.
Castorice's introduction follows MiHoYo's recent trend of introducing mysterious female characters before their official reveal. While her appearance is certainly intriguing, it differs from previous enigmatic character debuts.
