Honkai Star Rail 2.0 Black Swan and Imbibitor Lunae banner date

According to the official schedule, both Black Swan and Imbibitor Lunae will be featured in Honkai Star Rail 2.0’s first phase banners, which will be released on February 6, 2024, at 11 am (UTC+8). It is worth noting that HoYoverse will launch the update a day prior to completing the six-week cycle of the current patch.

With that, players from different regions will likely be confused about the local air time. Hence, here is a countdown they can refer to, which actively tracks the time remaining until the release of Black Swan and Imbibitor Lunae’s rerun banner:

The version 2.0 update will be available once the timer hits zero. Hence, players must download the latest version to summon the 5-star units.

While the 5-star units will have separate banners, the featured 4-star characters will remain the same. Here are their details:

• Misha (Ice/ Destruction Path)
• Tingyun (Lightning/ Harmony Path)
• Guinaifen (Fire/ Nihility Path)

All of the 4-stars will have boosted drop rates, implying that players summoning on the banners have a high chance of obtaining them. Besides, Misha is a new character that will be officially added to the standard roster after version 2.0 ends.
