Honkai Star Rail 2.7 banner set featuring two long-awaited characters

Honkai Star Rail is in the second phase of version 2.5, with version 2.6 just a few weeks away. So far, the game has released 17 new characters in the Honkai Star Rail 2.x versions and is expected to include Rappa in version 2.6. Of all the 18 new characters so far, one long-awaited Penacony character still hasn't been released, leaving players wondering why that is. This character is Sunday, the main villain of the Penacony incident alongside Gopher Wood. Sunday has long been expected to be a playable character, but surprisingly he still hasn't appeared in any of the version banners.

Sunday and 5-star Tingyun leaked to appear in version 2.7 banners

This is shown by the latest leak about Uncle, which was published on Reddit Description of Sunday's drip marketing artwork and the new 5-star Tingyun. More importantly, this drip marketing is mentioned in the version 2.7 leak, suggesting that both the new 5-star version of Tingyun and Sunday will be playable in Honkai Star Rail 2.7.

During the Penacony Trailblaze missions, the Outrider Sunday defeated The Great Septimus, who was controlled by Sunday, in battle with the Harmonious Choir. After defeating Sunday, he was imprisoned in Penacony. During the game-changing mission of version 2.3, we take a final look at Sunday with Jade. During this interaction, Jade appeared to offer Sunday a lucrative opportunity that could potentially get him out of prison. Since then, we haven't heard from Sunday in any of the missions, but if recent leaks are to be believed, it seems that way Sunday and Tingyun's resurrection may be connected in the upcoming missions.

So that's everything we currently know about the HSR 2.7 banners through leaks. If the leaks are true, we will soon have two long-awaited characters on the banners – Sunday and the new Tingyun. Tell us what you think about the possibility of Sunday and the new Tingyun appearing together in version 2.7, and give us your theory on how they are connected in the story.
