Honkai Stail Rail 4.0-4.x Banners Leaks: Yaoguang, SP Sparkle & SP Sampo

Good day,Trailblazers! As the HSR 3.7 comes close, more fresh news have emerged revealing what's coming in Honkai: Star Rail version 4.0-4.x.

Let's dive into these leaks and explore the upcoming banners and new characters that will soon join the ever-expanding roster of the Astral Express.

*Please note that information in this article is based on leaks and is subject to change until officially confirmed by HoYoverse.

 

No HSR 3.9 Banner

There's no HSR 3.9 Banner after 3.8, the story of Amphoreus is about to end in 3.7. And we will go back to Penacony in 3.8 version according to the leaks. 

 

HSR 4.0 Banner Leaks

Based on the known information, in Version 4.0, we will be visiting Sparkle's hometown, Edo Star. Some of the scene designs for this area have already been revealed in Sparkle's PV. It's a very dreamy planet.

According to the leaks from Galaxy, Hanabi (Sparkle) is from Edo Star. And there's very little confirmed about 4.0. The only things can guarantee are Yae Sakura, Edo Star, and Stellaron Hunters having a role in the story- everything else is too far off.

Also, Anon leaks that 4.0 Yao Guang will be playable. Actually, I think this could be true, we all know Xianzhou help us out in the Amphoreus and Yao Guang maybe the one who save us. 

Yao Guang is one of the seven Arbiter-Generals of the Xianzhou Alliance's Cloud Knights. Described as "cautious and sophisticated," she presides over the Xianzhou Yuque. She is sometimes referred to as the Seer Strategist.

HSR 4.1 Banner Leaks

OMG! Anon just say Pearl will release in the HSR 4.1. Who's Pearl? Pearl is a rank P45 senior manager of the Strategic Investment Department in the Interastral Peace Corporation, and a member of the Ten Stonehearts.

Pearl makes his first appearance in Stonehearts' PV and become one of fan favorite character in HSR, it's benn a year, finally we have Pearl debuts!

 

HSR 4.2 Banner Leaks

Featured units (rumored):

• Yae (Sakura)

• Silverwolf (SP) — Path: Erudition (rumored)

What to expect

• 4.2 is tipped to introduce Yae alongside an SP form of Silverwolf.

• The SP Silverwolf variant is said to move to the Erudition Path, implying a shift toward an AoE-centric damage role rather than her usual debuff identity. Exact kit details remain unconfirmed.

• The image shown here is Silverwolf’s non-SP version. If/when 4.2 SP art surfaces, we’ll update immediately — follow LDShop to get the first look.

 

 

HSR 4.3 Banner Leaks

Blade (SP) is slated to appear in Version 4.3.

Rumor says these SP Blade images were snapped during a meeting. If true, someone’s about to get obliterated by HoYoverse legal — Godspeed, brother.

 

Other 4.x SP Candidates (Likely)

• Robin (SP)

• Aventurine (SP)

These are frequently mentioned alongside the 4.2–4.3 chatter, but timing and paths are not locked in yet.

 

NEW Path Elation

According to current beta information, Version 4.0 is most likely to introduce a new Path: The Elation.
Leaks from HomDGCat and Luna suggest that Sparkle (SP) and Sampo (SP) are the two candidates associated with this new Path in 4.x. And of course, we will have a Elation Trailblazer, I'm looking forward to his/her kit, it must be interesting.

Separately, Blade (SP) and Yae Sakura (Ice) are also rumored for the 4.x cycle, but are not necessarily tied to The Elation.

 

 

Conclusion

That's all the known information and current speculation about banners roadmap so far. Please refer to official announcements for final details!
