Want to know when the next Honkai: Star Rail update is? Thanks to official livestreams providing banner and event details for each new patch, we usually know well in advance what's awaiting us in the new version of Star Rail. Each new update for Honkai: Star Rail brings new banners to pull on, events to take part in, and a new Trailblaze Mission to move the story along, with future patches set on Planarcadia for the foreseeable future, a planet with ties to Aha and the path of Elation. Plus, we usually get some sort of update to the Divergent Universe, Currency Wars, or other endgame combat mode in every patch. The current update is version 4.2, the next will be version 4.3, and this page explains everything we know about both the current and next updates in Honkai: Star Rail.

When is the next Honkai Star Rail update? The next Honkai: Star Rail update is on Monday, June 1, two days earlier than usual. This is the version 4.3 update that introduces a new character, Mortenax Blade, a fire Nihility variant of the universe's saddest Stellaron Hunter. We don't know why 4.2 is releasing two days earlier, but the 4.4 update goes back to normal, coming out on July 15, a Wednesday. We know this because of the official Phase 2 banner times in 4.3. When is the next Honkai Star Rail livestream? The next Honkai: Star Rail livestream should be on Friday, July 3 if the regular rule of releasing 12 days before an update is maintained– which it should be, as we're back to the regular six-week update schedule now, even with a Monday update. This will be the livestream detailing all the banners and events coming in version 4.4, the patch in which Himeko Nova debuts. Event Warp Phase 1 Honkai Star Rail 4.2 banners In Phase 1 of version 4.2, the Honkai: Star Rail banners were Silver Wolf LV.999, The Dahlia, Castorice, and Firefly. These ran from April 22 to May 12. The four-star characters on all their banners were: Gallagher Xueyi Hook Event Warp Phase 2 In the current Phase 2 of version 4.2, the Honkai: Star Rail banners are Evanescia, Sunday, Tribbie, and Feixiao. These banners run from May 12 to June 1, and the four-star characters boosted on these Phase 2 banners are: Guinaifen Lynx Sushang Also, remember that Archer and Saber's banners are still running. These Fate collaboration banners have been running since July 2025, and are still kicking around for anybody yet to pull them.
