Honkai Star Rail Leaks: Sunday's Release Gets Great & Disappointing News (2024)

New leaked details about Sunday’s release and his possible element and Path in Honkai: Star Rail have emerged, hinting at both good and disappointing news for players. Sunday is an important NPC in the story of Penacony, as he is the head of the Oak Family, which leads the rest of the families that run the Planet of Festivities. Sunday is also Robin's older brother, and he has a close connection to his celebrity sister. While the release of Robin in Honkai: Star Rail has already occurred, Sunday’s has not, but new leaks indicate he may arrive soon.

This article contains spoilers about the main Penacony story.

Now, the leaks are hinting at Sunday’s possible release date. Information obtained by the leaker known as HXG, which was then shared on Reddit, mentions that Sunday will become a playable character in Version 2.7. According to the leak, Sunday will also have a new character model with a “black-themed color,” which may refer to a change to his clothing. The last time Sunday was seen, before his transformation into the Great Septimus boss in Honkai: Star Rail, the character boasted a bright white and blue suit.

Sunday’s Leaked Release In Honkai: Star Rail 2.7 Is Positive News

Character May Arrive Before The Release Of The Game’s Next Destination

The information about Sunday’s possible release in Version 2.7 comes across as positive news since the Penacony character may make it into the game in his playable form before players move over to the next big destination in Version 3.0. Essentially, this means that one of the main characters from Penacony will arrive before the year to which the Planet of Festivities is connected comes to an end. The mention of a new Sunday outfit in Honkai: Star Rail also sounds positive, though the lack of a more thorough description only leads to speculation.

On the other hand, another leak about Sunday, which also mentions the possible Version 2.7 release, may not be all that positive. The information obtained by Seele Leaks, which was also shared on Reddit, says that Sunday will be an Imaginary character who follows the Path of the Harmony. The details about this leak are not certified, as implied by Seele Leaks, but there are reasons to believe it may be true. The first is that Sunday is a character that is deeply connected to the Harmony, as he is the head of the Family, which is aligned to it.

Sunday even tries to upgrade the Harmony by fusing it with the Order when he becomes the Great Septimus. His rumored Imaginary element also makes sense when it comes to lore since the Sunday’s boss form primarily uses Imaginary damage against opponents. Of course, these subtleties can be changed ahead of the character’s release. Nevertheless, it does sound like disappointing news. Currently, there is an abundance of Harmony characters in Honkai: Star Rail, many of which are universal for a variety of team comps.

For now, the alleged leaks about Sunday are very early and, as such, are highly subject to change – if they are even true to begin with. Nevertheless, the reports of Sunday’s possible release in Version 2.7 are mainly positive since they show that the character has not been forgotten and that the players’ requests for him to become playable are reaching the development team if they didn’t already consider making him playable. Now, it seems like it’s a matter of waiting for an official announcement for this Honkai: Star Rail character.
