Honkai Star Rail 4.0 Release Date
Honkai Star Rail 4.0 is scheduled to release globally on February 13, 2026, as confirmed by the official special program and follow‑up posts for Version 4.0 “No Aha at Full Moon.” @pokkecorp shared on X a summary of the Honkai: Star Rail 4.0 livestream, revealing redeem codes and confirming a February 13, 2026 release date.
This is the big mid‑February patch that closes out the extended 3.8 cycle and finally moves the Astral Express to the new world, Planarcadia, after weeks of beta leaks, drip marketing, and teaser art floating around timelines.
Technically, server rollout is staggered slightly by region (NA, EU, Asia), but all of it sits around that February 12–13 window, with February 13 used as the headline date in most official info and media coverage.
For players already planning pulls, guides are treating 4.0 as the start of a fresh “arc,” not just another routine +0.1 patch: new path, new hub, new banner headliners, and likely a different tempo of events once the update lands.
Honkai Star Rail 4.0 Release Time
Honkai Star Rail 4.0 will go live after the usual five‑hour maintenance that starts at 6:00 a.m. server time (UTC+8), meaning players can expect the patch to open around 11:00 a.m. UTC+8 on February 13, 2026.
Converted roughly, that lines up as late night on February 12 for the Americas and the early hours of February 13 for Europe, with Asia and TW/HK/MO aligning closer to mid‑morning.
As with past updates, there is the usual caveat: maintenance can end right on time or drift a bit if the servers need extra work, so most communities treat these hours as a target rather than an exact down‑to‑the‑minute promise.
The pattern, however, stays familiar banners end, servers go down, everyone sprints through the story once they come back, and social feeds fill up with “first clear” screenshots before the day is even over.
Honkai Star Rail 4.0 Trailer
The Honkai Star Rail 4.0 trailer for “No Aha at Full Moon” dropped as part of the official Version 4.0 special program, giving the first proper look at Planarcadia, the new characters, and the Elation‑themed tone of the update.
@honkaistarrail shared on X the Version 4.0 trailer titled “No Aha at Full Moon,” announcing a rewards event for Honkai: Star Rail.
The trailer leans into neon‑soaked city shots, dual‑layered spaces, and quick flashes of Duomension‑style visuals, matching the idea that this world sits in Aha’s domain and plays with reality in a more “trickster god” way than previous destinations.
It also focuses heavily on the new 5‑star units headlining the Version 4.0 banners, guide, and countdown sites call out characters like Yao Guang and Sparxie, along with teases of the new Elation Path that adjusts how damage and follow‑up attacks are built into team comps.
The trailer and livestream package together serve as the main roadmap: story beats, combat changes, big events, and the usual run of redemption codes for stellar jades that were active during and shortly after the stream.
About Honkai Star Rail 4.0
Honkai Star Rail 4.0 is the next major version update for HoYoverse’s turn‑based space RPG, anchoring a new story arc on Planarcadia, a destination tied to the Aeon Aha and themed around layered realities, trickery, and spectacle.
Unlike smaller interim patches, Version 4.0 brings a full new world map, an Elation‑aligned Path, multiple limited‑time events, and banner cycles that introduce brand‑new characters rather than just reruns.
The patch also lands after an unusually long previous version: 3.8 was extended to eight weeks instead of the standard six, with developers explicitly framing the extra time as space to polish 4.0 content and get Planarcadia ready.
That delay is part of why hype has built so steadily; community calendars, third‑party banner trackers, and official posts have all been pointing at mid‑February as the moment everything flips over.
For long‑time Trailblazers, Honkai Star Rail 4.0 looks like a turning point patch: a new hub that can carry several future updates, a fresh Path that shifts how teams are built, and just enough mystery in the trailers to make theory threads feel active again rather than purely leak‑driven.
