As a seasoned Honkai: Star Rail gamer with countless hours spent traversing the Void, I eagerly await the upcoming Special Program event for update 2.7, set to stream on November 22 at 19:30 (UTC+8). The anticipation is palpable in our gaming community, especially with the confirmation of new five-star characters Sunday and Fugue joining the roster.


The official confirmation for Honkai: Star Rail’s Special Program event tied to update 2.7 includes the specific time and date. In the past, Honkai: Star Rail has been known to host live streams a few days prior to each update, often unveiling fresh content during these events.

Ever since the game launched, HoYoverse has typically included around two new five-star characters in each update. The latest addition is Rappa. However, there have been some exceptions, like the upcoming Phase 2 banner for Version 2.6, which includes a rerun of two characters, Aventurine and Acheron.

The Twitter account for the game has shared details about the much-anticipated livestream event for update 2.7, called “A New Venture on the Eighth Dawn.” As per the announcement, the Special Program event for Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.7 is set for November 22 at 19:30 (UTC+8). It’s been confirmed by HoYoverse that this update will introduce two brand new five-star characters – Sunday and Fugue. Based on the sequence of their introduction, it seems likely that Sunday will debut in the initial part of the update, while Fugue will show up in the subsequent banner cycle. Given the end dates of the 2.6 banners, fans of Honkai: Star Rail can anticipate the official release of Version 2.7 around November 30.

Honkai: Star Rail 2.7 Livestream Date and Time Revealed

As a passionate fan, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Sunday in the game, given his significant presence within our community. He’s already made several appearances within the game itself, and the official storyline confirms that he is Robin’s elder brother. This has sparked much speculation among players about their potential synergy.

In the beta testing of “Honkai: Star Rail,” it has been revealed that Sunday’s kit focuses on enhancing the damage potential of the main attacker in his squad. Yet, numerous enthusiasts have voiced their disappointment with Sunday’s power level, arguing that his kit seems lackluster and that he appears to be a minor upgrade over other support characters like Bronya, who offer similar abilities.

Some fans have also raised concerns about Sunday’s viability in the future, especially given expectations that the meta will shift in the coming months with the introduction of a new Path in Honkai: Star Rail. Regarding Fugue’s kit, she is rumored to be a solid support character capable of applying debuffs to enemies. This makes her an excellent choice for DoT teams and specific DPS units in Honkai: Star Rail such as Acheron.
