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 4.3, the next will be version 4.4, and this page explains everything we know about both the current and next updates in Honkai: Star Rail.

What is new in version 4.3?
When is the next Honkai Star Rail update?
The next Honkai Star Rail update will be on Wednesday, July 15. This will be version 4.4, the patch where Himeko Nova debuts, and likely Gilgamesh and Rin as part of the “Summer” Fate/stay night collaboration continuation. We know 4.4 is going back to its usual Wednesday update thanks to the official Phase 2 banner times announced for 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. This will be the livestream detailing all the banners and events coming in version 4.4, the patch in which Himeko Nova debuts, and possibly Gilgamesh and Rin.
Phase 1 banners are Mortenax Blade and Yao Guang.
Honkai Star Rail 4.3 banners
In Phase 1 of version 4.3 the Honkai: Star Rail banners are Mortenax Blade and Yao Guang. These run from June 1 to June 24. Plus, when you pull Mortenax Blade from his banner, you get the Karmic Fire of the Distant Shore cosmetic, a flaming halo of fire that floats around the Trailblazer’s head. It takes up a brand new cosmetics slot.
All four-star characters on Mortenax Blade and Yao Guang’s banners are:
Sampo
Luka
Tingyun
The Honkai banners for Phase 2 are Cyrene and Phainon.
Then in Phase 2 of version 4.3 the Honkai: Star Rail banners are Cyrene and Phainon. These banners run from June 24 to July 14, and the four-star characters boosted on their Phase 2 banners are:
March 7th
Arlan
Yukong
And don’t forget 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.
Honkai Star Rail 4.3 events
As well as the Planar Fissure and Realm of the Strange double-drop periods, there are two events in version 4.3 of Honkai: Star Rail.
Pixel Plane Rumble.
Pixel Plane Rumble
Honkai’s take on a 3D arcade shooter. Think Star Fox if it were on-the-rails. You can also upgrade your ship with different parts to improve it as you take on tougher opponents. Rewards include a new texting background, Self-Modeling Resin, Tracks of Destiny, and Stellar Jade. Runs from June 1 to July 15.
Wispae Amusement Park
Wispae Amusement Park
A top-down strategy mini-game that sees you placing items and planning the optimal route to attract Wispaes. It’s kind of like a bite-sized Roller Coaster Tycoon, if it only involved making creative waiting lines. The more the Wispaes like the environment while they’re moving through the line, the more points you get. Rewards include Tracks of Destiny and Stellar Jade. Runs from June 24 to July 15.
What is new in version 4.3?
The Honkai Star Rail 4.3 update includes:
New Trailblaze Mission in Planarcadia
New location in Planarcadia (Inkford Hermitage)
Cosmetic for pulling Blade on his banner (Karmic Fire of the Distant Shore)
Gift of Odyssey check-in event for 10 Star Rail Special Passes
