Honkai Impact 3rd has announced the release date of the 5.7 update, which sees the story of Raiden Mei advance as well as the introduction of two new playable battlesuits, Aponia and Eden.

Honkai Impact 3rd version 5.7 Update will release on May 19th, and Hoyoverse have also put out a new trailer highlighting the characters that will be featured in the latest update to the game’s story.

Two new characters, the strongest psychic MANTIS – Aponia, and the epitome of the Previous Era culture – Eden, will join Captains on the battlefield. Besides, the secret hidden in the recesses of Elysian Realm will be revealed, and the two plot threads of it will eventually intersect in the upcoming storyline. New events, new outfits and rich in-game bonuses will also come along with the update!

Aponia’s new battlesuit, titled Disciplinary Perdition, is a chakram-using S-rank BIO battlesuit that excels in lightning damage.

She comes with an airborne skill, too- letting her smite enemies by dropping lightning from the sky as she soars through it.

Aponia’s not the only battlesuit joining the fray- fans of the Elysian Realm will see the Flame Chaser Eden join the pool of valkyries, with her own battlesuit Golden Diva.

Eden is an IMG-type ranged battlesuit, fighting off enemies with pistols before playing her final song to finish off enemies.

In addition, here’s all the story content you’ll be able to look forward to in Honkai Impact Version 5.7:

•    Spotlight on Elysia and The Thirteen Flame-Chasers
•   New Open World of Elysium Everlasting in the new story chapter!
• Two modes of exploration, Story Mode or Map Exploration Mode!
