It’s time to board the Hyperion once again, Captains! Honkai Impact 3rd is officially kicking off its 9th Anniversary celebration, and HoYoverse isn’t holding back. Whether you’re a Part 1 veteran who remembers the first time Kiana picked up a baseball bat or a Part 2 newcomer exploring the mysteries of Mars, this update is packed with enough loot to make even a Herrscher blush.

The v8.7 update, “Passage to New Dawns,” is now live, bringing a massive wave of rewards, new story chapters, and a certain legendary Valkyrie stepping back into the spotlight.

The Anniversary Loot: What’s in the Box?

Let’s get straight to the good stuff. If you log in during the celebration, you’re looking at a mountain of freebies. The highlight? The S-rank Battlesuit Option 2026. This is your chance to snag a powerful unit to bolster your roster for free.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what to expect:

Login Bonuses: Totalling over 20 Supply Cards and two 10x Carnival Battlesuit Supply Cards.

Anniversary Gift Boxes: Participate in events to earn Crystals, Source Prisms, and the exclusive 9th Anniversary Memorial Emblem.

Spending Bonuses: If you’ve been hoarding Crystals, now is the time to spend. Reaching certain milestones can net you the Jovial Deception: Shadowdimmer character card or rank-up stamps for your favourite units.

New Battlesuit: Raiden Mei Returns

The Queen of Thunder is back! Version 8.7 introduces a brand-new S-rank battlesuit for Raiden Mei. Not only is she a powerhouse on the battlefield, but players can also enjoy a 50% discount on the first 10-pull for her battlesuit supply.

Alongside Mei, we’re seeing new Divine Keys like the “Pact of Companionship” for Lunar Vow: Crimson Love, giving the vampire valkyrie a significant power boost in the current meta.

Fresh Content: Mars and Beyond

The story continues to ramp up in Main Story Part 2 Chapter XI Interlude: “The Night Which the Light Dreams Of.” As the Martian civilisation’s mysteries deepen, players will navigate new challenges and earn even more Crystals and outfit options.

Speaking of outfits, the fashion game is strong this year:

“Lantern Ablaze” for Lone Destruction: Shadowchaser (Earnable via event).

“Lunar Grace” for Hi Love Elf

“Candied Curtains” for Behold! Fate-Defying Dragon.

Celebration Lobby 2026

Starting March 12, the annual Celebration Lobby opens its doors. It’s a dedicated social space where you can hang out with other Captains, take commemorative photos, and complete mini-games for extra rewards. It’s the perfect way to soak in the vibes of nine years of Honkai.

Pro Tip: Don’t forget to check the in-game mail for surprise codes! Use code WARMGIFT and MFV92R1ONL (if they haven’t expired yet) for some quick Crystals to kickstart your anniversary pulls.

It’s been a long journey from the early days of the Honkai eruption to the shores of Mars. This 9th anniversary feels like both a look back at an incredible legacy and a bold step into the future of Part 2.
