Honkai Star Rail has approximately a month remaining before it brings in the v1.1 update alongside new characters, quests, and more. Since the current update has been a huge hit among the community, players can't wait any longer to see what HoYoverse has in store for everyone. Typically, multiple teases from in-game narration alongside data mines from leakers have already confirmed the upcoming characters and their banners in the next update.
Players should note that all of the upcoming characters have already appeared in the main story, including Yukong, Luocha, and Silver Wolf.
Honkai Star Rail is scheduled for release on June 7, 2023, at 10 am UTC +8. While these are based on the current banner runtime and past releases, the release date and time are subject to change.

Additional details regarding Honkai Star Rail 1.1 characters and release
As mentioned earlier, the v1.1 update for Honkai Star Rail will be released on June 7 at 10 am UTC +8. The following list states the possible release times across all three servers:
- Asia: 10 am (UTC+8).
- Europe: 3 am (UTC +1).
- America: 9:00 pm (UTC - 5).
Like HoYoverse's previous titles, players can expect a long maintenance downtime before launch, alongside Stellar Jade compensation upon release. Hence, there can be a slight delay from the times listed above.
Regarding the upcoming characters, both phases of v1.1 will include Luocha and Silver Wolf as 5-star characters, alongside Yukong as a 4-star character. All these units have already appeared in the main story, giving everyone a fair idea of each character's in-game model and skill.
However, Yukong has been the only character whose skills haven't been shown in-game. Multiple data mined information reveal her element to be Imaginary alongside the Harmony Path. The post given below should reveal additional information regarding her kit.
Both the 5-star characters, Silver Wolf and Luocha have been teased via their skills throughout the main story missions. Silver Wolf is a Quantum Nihility character focused on debuffing enemies, while Luocha is an Imaginary Abundance character focused on healing his allies.
Players can expect a slight variation of skill damage and healing numbers compared to their existing playable version in the current update (v1.0).
