A recent leak from Honkai: Star Rail hints at the potential in-game appearance of the character Sunday, expected to launch later in the Penacony cycle. As HoYoverse wraps up the story of its latest world, the debut of Penacony has introduced many new characters to the sci-fi RPG's roster. Characters like Acheron, Sparkle, and Aventurine have significantly impacted the game's meta, while Black Swan and Firefly have quickly become fan favorites. Now, one of Penacony's most beloved characters, Sunday, is being teased.
Although not yet playable, Sunday has already become a standout figure in Honkai: Star Rail's Penacony cast. Players first meet Sunday shortly after arriving on Penacony, where he plays a major role as the head of the Oak Family in the world's main story. Sunday also serves as the main "Echo of War" boss for Penacony, marking a major climax in the third playable world of Honkai: Star Rail. His potential as a playable character is now being hinted at once again.
A recent leak shared on the Honkai: Star Rail leaks subreddit by leaker Seele Leaks teases significant changes to Sunday's appearance. According to the update, Sunday's outfit will undergo notable alterations, featuring a multi-colored coat with white and gold on the left and blue and white on the right. He will also sport a short gold cape, black gloves, dark blue and black boots, and a badge on his collar. Sunday is rumored to release with Version 2.7.
While the newest leaks focus on Sunday's visual changes, previous leaks have hinted at his gameplay mechanics in Honkai: Star Rail. Earlier reports suggested that Sunday would be an Imaginary character in the Harmony Path, sharing the same character type as the most recent incarnation of the Trailblazer, introduced in Version 2.2. HoYoverse has not officially confirmed any details about Sunday's playable release.
The speculation about Sunday's playability comes as HoYoverse has already unveiled the next characters set to join the RPG. Version 2.4 will introduce two new five-star characters, Jiaoqiu and Yunli from Xianzhou Luofu, to the game's roster. The update will also feature a new form for March 7th, shifting the starter character into the Hunt Path with her new variant. While Sunday's release may still be some time away, fans have plenty to be excited about with his anticipated debut in Honkai: Star Rail.
