Honkai Star Rail 1.6 will be released globally on December 27, 2023, across various platforms like PC, Android, iOS, and PlayStation. The title will divide the update into two phases over six weeks. The patch will be released alongside Ruan Mei and Blade’s character event Warp banners.

The amount of information available about the first half of the upcoming update can be quite overwhelming for most players. Thankfully for them, the developer of the turn-based battler, HoYoverse, has compiled a list of all events coming to the first phase of the game’s new version.
