The Honkai: Star Rail 2.0 Banner and event details have been officially announced for the latest patch, titled If One Dreams At Midnight.

It's the big Penacony update, so we're getting lots of new story content, areas to explore, puzzles to solve, and new enemies to tackle! We're also getting the usual two Banner phases and new time-limited events - with the Honkai: Star Rail 2.0 Banners featuring two new 5-Star characters and one new 4-Star.

Below, you can find out the exact 2.0 release date and time, who the new characters are, and what the 2.0 Banners and events schedule is for the upcoming patch.

It's also worth noting that this time around the 2.0 patch will last for seven weeks instead of the usual six weeks.

Honkai Star Rail 2.0 Banners

There are three new playable characters making their debut in the version 2.0 Banners: Black Swan, Sparkle, and Misha, with 5-Stars Imbibitor Lunae and Jing Yuan returning.

Phase 1 of the 2.0 Banner schedule begins with Black Swan and Imbibitor Lunae, with 4-Star Misha debuting on both their Banners. Black Swan is a new 5-Star Wind attacker of The Nihility path on her Ripples in Reflection Banner, Imbibitor Lunae is a returning 5-Star Imaginary attacker of the Destruction path on his Epochal Spectrum Banner, and Misha is a new 4-Star Ice attacker of the Destruction path who is boosted on both their Banners.

These version 2.0 Phase 1 Banners start on Tuesday 6th February and end on Thursday 29th February.

Although not related to version 2.0, we thought you'd like to know that there are also plans to release an animated short of new Penacony mascot character Clockie, another animated short starring Sushang and Guinaifen, and concerts being held sometime in the middle of 2024.

In addition to this lineup of permanent content, double drop periods and login events, we're getting four limited-time events during the 2.0 update to Honkai Star Rail. Here's a quick summary of these time-limited events in Honkai Star Rail 2.0:

Dreamchaser Bulletin

Dreamchaser Bulletin starts Tuesday 6th February and ends on Monday 25th March, and you need to have completed the 'Xianzhou Luofu - Obsequies Performed, A Long Road Ahead' Trailblaze Mission to take part in the event.

Dreamchaser Bulletin is a combat and exploration event where you have to complete specific missions from the mysterious Dreamcatcher Bulletin newspaper that arrives in the Trailblazer's mailbox. This will take you around Penacony, so you can get more familiar with it.

Hanu's Prison Break

Hanu's Prison Break starts Thursday 8th February and ends on Monday 25th March, and you need to have completed the 'Penacony - Through A Glass Darkly' Trailblaze Mission to take part in the event.

Once Hanu's Prison Break ends, it will be added to the repeatable Conventional Memoir part of the events page, but its limited-time rewards will no longer be available.

For this event you head to the Dreamscape Sales Store and touch a special dream bubble to break you and your cellmates out of a prison by controlling the prison landscape. This involves taking part in a pinball puzzle and perspective puzzle in the mirror maze. Then, you take control of a mini Hanu to explore the area and break locks, and finally use the new Dreamwalker ability to rescue cellmates and participate in a final battle.

Dreamjolt TV

Dreamjolt TV starts Thursday 29th February and ends on Monday 25th March, and you need to have completed the 'Penacony - Whodunit' Trailblaze Mission to take part in the event.

Penacony's Television channels have been hijacked by Dreamjolt TV, so the program director pleads with the Trailblazer to participate in combat challenges to defeat Dreamjolt TV and retrieve the signal from them.

The Dreamjolt TV enemies all have different mutation mechanics, so you have to think about your team compositions carefully.

Penacony Food Fest

Penacony Food Fest starts Wednesday 6th March and ends on Monday 18th March, and you need to have completed the 'Penacony - Tales From the Golden Age' Trailblaze Mission to take part in the event.

Penacony Food Fest is an easy way to get Stellar Jade, as all you have to do is hand over some ingredients to get rewards at the Clock Diner. If you're familiar with Liben's Marvelous Merchandise event in Genshin Impact, you know how easy and helpful this event is.

Honkai Star Rail 2.0 release date and time

Honkai Star Rail 2.0 will release on Tuesday 6th February, a day earlier than its usual Wednesday release date. It follows the usual maintenance schedule and releases at 3am (GMT). Due to time zone differences, 2.0 actually releases in the United States on Monday 5th February at 10pm (ET).

For other time zones, the Honkai Star Rail 2.0 release date and time is:

  • East Coast US: Monday 5th February, 10pm (ET)
  • Central US: Monday 5th February, 9pm (CT)
  • West Coast US: Monday 5th February, 7pm (PT)
  • Australia: Tuesday 6th February, 2pm (AET)
  • Japan: Tuesday 6th February, 12pm (JST)
  • Europe: Tuesday 6th February, 4am (CET)
  • UK: Tuesday 6th February, 3am (GMT)

As this is only an approximate time for how long the servers are down you might be able to play the 2.0 patch a little before or after the times above, but based on HoYoverse's track record, the times they provide are almost always accurate.
