Honkai Star Rail Sunday is the new 5-star character who will be released in the game with the HSR 2.7 banner.
Honkai Star Rail fans have something big to be excited about. The game’s upcoming 2.7 update is introducing a new 5-star character named Sunday, who has the Imaginary element and follows the Harmony path. His reveal has already created quite a buzz in the community. And here we will detail all that we know about Sunday in the Honkai Star Rail 2.7 banner.
Who is Sunday?
If you’ve played the Penacony arc in Honkai Star Rail, you might remember Sunday. He used to be the head of the Oak Family and had a big role in the Charmony Festival. He first appeared as a non-playable character (NPC) in version 2.0, but now, he’s finally stepping up as a playable character. His story seems to be taking a new turn after the events of Penacony, where he was last seen dealing with some tough times on his own.
Sunday’s arrival is exciting for another reason too! He’s set to be the first male character in the game to follow the Harmony path, which means he’s all about boosting and supporting his teammates. Fans are already talking about how his abilities might bring some much-needed buffs to other characters during battles. Plus, his splash art shows off a cool, starry look that has everyone even more hyped to see him in action.
But that’s not all—Sunday’s story gets even better because he’s not alone. He has a sister named Robin, who’s already a playable character in the game. Seeing these two characters finally reunite in Honkai Star Rail has fans excited to see how their bond will play out now that they’re both on the battlefield together.

HSR Sunday Voice Actors
Sunday’s character is voiced by some pretty famous actors in different languages. In Japanese, he’s voiced by Takeo Otsuka, known for his roles in shows like "The Apothecary Diaries" and "League of Legends." In Chinese, Xu Xiang, who’s worked on games like "Identity V" and "Arknights," brings Sunday to life. The English voice actor for Sunday hasn’t been confirmed yet. Earlier, Griffin Puatu had voiced him, but due to some past issues involving another voice actor, it seems like there’s been a change.
When Will Sunday Be Released?
There’s no official release date for Sunday just yet, but if we go by HoYoverse’s usual pattern, it looks like he’ll become available when the 2.7 update goes live.
So, if you’ve been saving up your in-game currency, it might be the perfect time to get those Star Rail Special Passes ready to try your luck at pulling Sunday when he finally arrives in the game.
