Similar to other HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero, Honkai Star Rail pools some new and returning characters in a banner system that refreshes every three weeks. Even though they have fixed schedules, keeping up with their release and content every time can be difficult.

Phase 1 of version 2.4 is live in HSR, and the potential lineup of version 2.5 has already leaked. So, here’s all you need to know, including the current and next banners.

What is the next Honkai Star Rail banner?

Jiaoqiu and Sparkle will headline the next Honkai Star Rail banner in Phase 2 of update 2.4.

On the other hand, leaks suggest Feixiao will headline the first banner in version 2.5. We’ll make sure to update this section once HoYoverse confirm details about the upcoming banners.
