Warning: Major spoilers if you haven’t played any Penacony Trailblaze Missions.
The highly anticipated Sunday release date is here, marking a turning point for this once-villainous Halovian representative of The Family.
As part of his redemption arc, this Penacony character transitions from a cunning villain to a traveler whose “wings were clipped.”
This ONE Esports guide provides an overview of his limited-time 5-star banner, including the Sunday release date and other key details.
When is Sunday coming to Honkai Star Rail? Sunday release date revealed
Despite his name, the 5-star character Sunday debuts on Wednesday, December 4, 2024 (GMT+8). His banner is featured during Phase 1 of Honkai Star Rail version 2.7.
Sunday is a major character in the Penacony Trailblaze Missions. As the organizer of the Charmony Festival, a galaxy-wide event, and the brother of Robin, a popular singer, he initially seems to be a friendly ally to the Astral Express.
However, his true intentions are revealed when he attempts to use the Order to create a dream world where people can escape reality, even if it means never waking up.
With the help of Robin, the Astral Express ultimately defeats Sunday and prevents his plan from succeeding. As a result, Sunday is imprisoned by The Family.
When will the Sunday banner end in Honkai Star Rail?
Sunday’s limited-time character and light-cone banners conclude on December 25, 2024, three weeks after their release.
To increase your odds of obtaining Sunday, make sure to participate in the in-game events that are active during his banner’s launch. These events offer valuable rewards like Stellar Jades and Star Rail Special Passes, which can be used to pull on the Sunday banner.
Even if you’re not fortunate enough to win Sunday on your first 50-50 pull, don’t worry! His banner is likely to return in a future rerun, giving you more opportunities to add him to your team.
