Honkai Star Rail banner schedule, current and upcoming

The Honkai Star Rail banner schedule provides useful details for players, as it lays out the warp events that are in progress and shows the rewards available for collection, while also looking ahead to bring information for future updates and suggestions of what may be included in upcoming banners based on leaked information and official teases. There's a lot of data to take in, so I've rounded it all up here to give you the lowdown. The latest releases went live on December 3 following the launch of the 2.7 update phase 1, featuring Sunday (Harmony: Imaginary) and Jing Yuan (Erudition: Lightning) as the two 5-star characters available, though as always there are lots of other rewards to be claimed.

These banner or warp events make up the gacha element of Honkai Star Rail, where players have the opportunity to win additional Light Cones and new characters to add to their team, on top of collecting handy consumables and materials. By spending warps – or 'pulls' as they're often referred to – a random reward is granted from a predetermined set of prizes, and while certain results are guaranteed after a specified amount of warps have been used, the results are generally based on luck.

If you use up all of the passes you currently have available for warps then you can exchange Stellar Jade and other items to receive additional passes, so it's worth looking out for fresh Honkai Star Rail codes and claiming any that are currently active to increase your supplies. To find out what's happening now and next, here's the lowdown on the banner schedule in Honkai Star Rail.
