The popular turn-based RPG is in the final stretch of Version 4.4, a patch that extends the Planarcadia story arc and introduced what became one of the best characters in the game, Himeko Nova. There are three <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/honkai-star-rail-44-release-codes-characters-banners\/\" target=\"_blank\">new characters in <em>Honkai: Star Rail<\/em> 4.4<\/a>, but Himeko Nova will leave the banners in less than two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<p>However, players will still be able to pull for the <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters\/\" target=\"_blank\">new <em>Fate<\/em> collab characters in <em>Honkai: Star Rail<\/em><\/a>, Rin Tohsaka and Gilgamesh, in upcoming patches, as they will not leave the banner rotation so soon. Even so, the game is gearing up for the release of Version 4.5, which may be a respite from the conclusion of the Planarcadia arc this year, moving ever closer to the turn-based RPG\u2019s next year of content. There are still a few more patches to go through, but Version 4.5 will be an important one in terms of story development.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"honkai-star-rail-4-5---release-date\">\n                        Honkai: Star Rail 4.5 &#8211; Release Date<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:50%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-himeko-nova.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-himeko-nova.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-himeko-nova.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-himeko-nova.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-himeko-nova.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-himeko-nova.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-himeko-nova.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"826\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Himeko Nova looks fierce as she points her lance upward.\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-himeko-nova.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-himeko-nova.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture><figcaption style=\"display: none;\">Himeko Nova looks fierce as she points her lance upward.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> Luckily, you won\u2019t have to wait much longer to play through it. As was announced by the developer following the respective livestream, <em>Honkai: Star Rail<\/em> 4.5 should arrive on August 26 across all platforms on which the game is available. Depending on your region, you may be able to play it on August 25 at night due to time zone differences. Effectively, the RPG enters its maintenance period on August 25 in the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>The formal announcement of the release date for Version 4.5 makes it so that it becomes unlikely to be postponed in any way. Usually, when a patch is set for a delay, HoYoverse pushes back the livestream from when it would regularly occur. Since the livestream is done and the release date has been announced, you can expect the RPG to continue following its regular six-week schedule between patches. At this point in time, HoYoverse has been revealing beforehand whether a patch will last longer (or less) than expected.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"honkai-star-rail-4-5-livestream-codes\">\n                        Honkai: Star Rail 4.5 Livestream Codes<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:50%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-gilgamesh.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-gilgamesh.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-gilgamesh.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-gilgamesh.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-gilgamesh.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-gilgamesh.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-gilgamesh.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"826\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Gilgamesh from Honkai: Star Rail controls golden chains.\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-gilgamesh.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/honkai-star-rail-44-livestream-date-time-characters-banners-gilgamesh.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture><figcaption style=\"display: none;\">Gilgamesh from Honkai: Star Rail controls golden chains.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> During the update\u2019s livestream, the developer also dropped a few livestream codes for players to redeem.

One of the new units is called Robin &#8211; Summeretto, which is effectively a new version of <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/honkai-star-rail-robin-materials-character-ascension-farming\/\" target=\"_blank\">Robin in <em>Honkai: Star Rail<\/em><\/a>. Robin &#8211; Summeretto is a 5-star Wind character on the Path of the Remembrance. With her Skill, this character can summon her memosprite. With her Ultimate, she can advance the action of a chosen ally and restore a portion of their Energy.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, Robin &#8211; Summeretto can assign them as a Special Guest. When the Special Guest and their summon attack, they grant her Vibes points. Depending on how many Vibes points she has, Robin &#8211; Summeretto can summon a different type of memosprite. This new character\u2019s job will be advancing actions, which is still a powerful mechanic in the RPG, as well as helping the DPS ignore a portion of the enemy\u2019s DEF for increased damage output.<\/p>\n<p>The other new character is Aventurine &#8211; Waveflair, which is also a new version of <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/honkai-star-rail-aventurine-materials-ascension-traces-farming\/\" target=\"_blank\">Aventurine in <em>Honkai: Star Rail<\/em><\/a>. Aventurine &#8211; Waveflair is a 5-star Quantum character following the Path of the Elation. This character will deal damage to gather both Punchline and Fervor. Punchline is a core Elation ability, but Fervor is his exclusive mechanic, which interacts with Punchline.<\/p>\n<p>When he obtains a certain amount of Fervor, Aventurine &#8211; Waveflair can use a powerful AoE Elation Skill, which scales with his Punchline count. His role will be to deal huge blows to enemies with his abilities, acting as a main DPS in the team. As such, Aventurine &#8211; Waveflair will make for an optimal candidate for the best DPS in <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/honkai-star-rail-yao-guang-builds-team-comps-relics\/\" target=\"_blank\">Yao Guang\u2019s team comps in <em>Honkai: Star Rail<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>HoYoverse also revealed the banner structure for Version 4.5.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"honkai-star-rail-4-5---story-updates-events-amp-more\">\n                        Honkai: Star Rail 4.5 &#8211; Story Updates, Events, &amp; More<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape mobile-optimized\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/honkai-star-rail-astropolis.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/honkai-star-rail-astropolis.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/honkai-star-rail-astropolis.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/honkai-star-rail-astropolis.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/honkai-star-rail-astropolis.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/honkai-star-rail-astropolis.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/honkai-star-rail-astropolis.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"928\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A view of Astropolis from Honkai Star Rail.\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/honkai-star-rail-astropolis.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/honkai-star-rail-astropolis.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture><figcaption style=\"display: none;\">A view of Astropolis from Honkai Star Rail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> The next big update to the story was also revealed during the Version 4.5 livestream.
