New Leak Suggests Sunday’s Animation Features in Honkai: Star Rail

A recent leak from well-known HoYoverse leaker Ubatcha has sparked new speculation about Sunday’s playable version. The leak points to new graphical assets found in the game’s files related to “thorns,” a feature previously rumored to be central to Sunday’s animations.

Sunday isn’t the only character generating buzz within the Honkai: Star Rail community. Other leaks have hinted at the arrival of new characters, including the rumored Aglaea and a potential new form of Tingyun.

One of the game’s starter characters, Herta, has also been the subject of rumors, with many speculating that she could receive a five-star variant soon. With so many exciting characters on the horizon, upcoming patches for Honkai: Star Rail are shaping up to be highly anticipated by fans.
