Honkai Star Rail banner schedule, current and upcoming
Find out which Honkai Star Rail banner events are currently running and what's coming next
The Honkai Star Rail banner schedule provides a selection of useful information for players, as it shows both the current warp events that are running right now so you know what rewards are available to work towards, and also a rough idea of what to expect from the future banners based on leaked information and official teasers for upcoming content. There's a lot of detail to take in, so I've helpfully rounded it all up here so you can easily see what's on offer. The latest releases went live on October 22 following the launch of the 2.6 update phase 1, featuring Rappa (Erudition: Imaginary) and Dan Heng - Imbibitor Lunae (Destruction: Imaginary) 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.
