We are already in the middle of Honkai Star Rail Version 1.6, and as such it is time to start looking at some of the upcoming banners that will be coming to the game both in the Second Phase of Version 1.6, as well as what banners we can expect for Version 2.0 and their speculated dates.
Upcoming Banners for Version 1.6
Currently Version 1.6 is in its First Phase with Ruan Mei and Blade’s banners going strong. These two banners still have two weeks of runtime, and following them we will be getting, Dr. Ratio and Kafka’s Limited Character Banners.
The Dr. Ratio and Kafka Limited banners will have the following runtime:
January 17, 2024 - February 7, 2024

Upcoming Banners for Version 2.0
Following the end of Version 1.6, players will surely be looking towards the upcoming banners for the following Version 2.0. Although it is still early to give a clear answer as to the dates of the banners and who will be coming in the First and Second Phases we can form a general suspicion of the dates and when each character will appear.
The playable characters that will be appearing in Version 2.0 are Black Swan, Sparkle and Misha. Black Swan and Sparkle will both have their separate Limited Character Banners, and Misha will be accompanying one of them.

Version 2.0 First Phase Banner Date and News
We believe that Black Swan will be appearing as the first character in Version 2.0 of Honkai: Star Rail. The way HoYoverse drip markets their characters usually means that the first character to appear will also be the one to appear in the First Phase. In the case with Version 2.0 this was Black Swan. The suspected duration for the First Phase banner of Version 2.0 is:
February 7, 2024 - February 28, 2024
Version 2.0 Second Phase Banner Date and News
The Second Phase banner is expected to go live right after the first one, and this phase is speculated to have Sparkle appearing as a limited character, with Misha running alongside her. This is subject to change and we will not know for sure until the Version 2.0 Livestream.
The dates for the Version 2.0 Second Phase Banners are as follows:
February 28, 2024 - March 20, 2024
Summary
Although it is still quite early to have any concrete information about the Version 2.0 banners we can make some general speculations based on what we have seen in the past and the way HoYoverse approaches these things. The information about the Version 2.0 banners is still scarce and we will update you when we gather more information about the matter.
Currently we still do not know which characters will be rerunning with Black Swan and Sparkle, nor if we might get another surprise. However, we believe that the dates we have speculated above will prove useful and will help you save your Stellar Jades.
