The Astral Express is preparing to leave Penacony behind. While the current patches have been incredibly generous with Stellar Jades, the global Honkai Star Rail community is already looking toward the future.
HoYoverse recently teased the next major destination: Amphoreus, a world heavily inspired by ancient Greek and Roman mythology. If you are a Free-to-Play (F2P) Trailblazer, you need to know the honkai star rail 3.0 banners schedule so you can start saving your pulls. Here is a complete breakdown of the leaked characters, the new Path combinations, and when Version 3.0 will officially launch.

- 💡 Expert Comments: The New Path
1. Version 3.0 Release Date
Unlike Genshin Impact, which follows a strict X.8 patch cycle, Honkai Star Rail is known for skipping patch numbers. Based on the current API data and the 6-week update cycle, Version 2.6 will likely be the final Penacony epilogue patch. This places the official release date for Version 3.0 (Amphoreus) squarely in late January to early February 2027, perfectly aligning with the Lunar New Year marketing push.
2. The Greek-Inspired Roster
According to trusted leakers like Ubatcha and Dimbreath, Amphoreus will feature characters heavily based on Greek mythology.
- Aglaea: Rumored to be the flagship 5-Star character of Phase 1. She is allegedly an Ice DPS who utilizes a completely new gameplay mechanic involving “Divine Summons” that act independently on the action order bar, similar to Jing Yuan’s Lightning Lord but with supportive capabilities.
- Sunday (Playable): After the massive lore events of Penacony, the leaks suggest Sunday will finally become a playable 5-Star character in the 3.X cycle, allegedly joining the Astral Express crew as a Quantum Harmony unit.
🛡️ EXPERT COMMENTS: THE NEW PATH
Will HoYoverse add a brand new Path?
Yes. The most shocking leak regarding Amphoreus is the rumored introduction of the ‘Remembrance’ Path for playable characters. Currently, Remembrance is only a buff path inside the Simulated Universe. However, data miners have uncovered UI elements suggesting that 3.0 characters will be able to equip Remembrance Light Cones. These characters will allegedly focus entirely on crowd-control, freeze mechanics, and memory-manipulation debuffs that completely reset enemy action bars.
