Honkai Star Rail next banner & current banner: Full schedule
HoYoverseWe’re now into phase 2 of Honkai Star Rail’s version 2.1, and here are all the current rate-up characters, as well as details on the version 2.2 banners.
Similar to other HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail pools some new and returning characters in a banner system every three weeks. Even though all banners have fixed schedules, keeping up with their release and content every time can be difficult.
To make that process a little convenient, here are the current and next Honkai Star Rail banners, along with all the details on the permanent banner and the Departure Warp banner.
