The upcoming character in Honkai Star Rail, Sunday, is causing a lot of excitement among players. There have been some leaks and official announcements from HoYoverse that got everyone talking. Sunday was introduced as the main bad guy in the Penacony Trailblazing mission, and fans have been waiting almost a whole year to finally see him as a playable character.
Now, with Drip Marketing and more leaks coming out, the excitement is growing as we get closer to version 2.7, where Sunday will officially join the game.
Honkai Star Rail Sunday Drip Marketing and Confirmation
The official confirmation came through Hoyoverse’s X/Twitter page with Sunday’s Drip Marketing, confirming that he will be a 5-star Harmony character with an Imaginary element. This is a big deal because Sunday will be the first Imaginary Harmony character in the game, except for the Harmony Trailblazer.
What’s funny is that the Drip Marketing for Sunday was supposed to come out closer to the Honkai Star Rail 2.6 update in October, but it got leaked early by mistake on the Japanese YouTube channel for the game. This made HoYoverse reveal Sunday’s details sooner than they wanted to.
HSR Sunday Release Date
Sunday’s release is expected to be part of the Honkai Star Rail version 2.7 update, which will probably come out around December 1, 2024. Since the game usually gets updates every 42 days, this date makes sense. Moreover, based on leaks, it’s also rumored that Sunday will appear in the first part of the HSR 2.7 banner.
There are also rumors about Tingyun’s new 5-star form, “HSR Fugue” being added, which makes this version even more exciting for players.
Who is Sunday in Honkai Star Rail?
In case you don’t remember, Sunday was a big villain in the Penacony Trailblazing mission. He was the leader of the Oak Family and wanted to bring back the Aeon of Order. His plan was to trap everyone in a never-ending dream, taking away their freedom. But his plan was stopped by characters like Acheron, Black Swan, Firefly, and even his sister Robin.
Sunday’s story wasn’t fully finished, though. He was captured and locked up by Jade from IPC, so fans are still wondering what will happen to him next in the game.
HSR Sunday Kit Leak
Now, what about Sunday’s gameplay? Even though we don’t know all the details about Sunday’s abilities yet, some early leaks give us a sneak peek. Sunday is supposed to be a support character with some pretty strong powers. The leaks suggest that his skills might let him speed up his teammates’ actions and even let their energy build up. This extra energy could be saved and used later, which could make for some fun teams where you can use big attacks (called Ultimates) over and over. Characters like Jingliu, Huohuo, and Tingyun could work really well with him.
But remember, these are just leaks for now, and HoYoverse might change things before he officially comes out. Still, the idea of managing energy overflow and using it smartly sounds like it could make Sunday really helpful in a lot of different team setups.
So, that’s all that we have on HSR Sunday. Between his Drip Marketing, leaks, and the upcoming 2.7 release, everyone’s talking about him. Whether you’re into his backstory, excited about his possible gameplay, or just can’t wait to see him in action, Sunday’s arrival in Honkai Star Rail is one of the biggest events this year.
Also, don’t forget that Tingyun’s new form, Fugue is coming in version 2.7 too. So, with both Sunday and Tingyun in the update, it’s going to be a big update for the players.
