Honkai: Star Rail 3.8 not only marks the debut of a member of the Annihilation Gang, but also has a unique duration. Instead of the usual six weeks, HSR 3.8 will run for over eight weeks.
Because of that, the 3.8 update will feature three banner phases. Here’s the HSR 3.8 release date and end time, along with information about The Dahlia banner in HSR.

Stellar Jades is a crucial currency in Honkai: Star Rail as players need them to get new characters in the game.
When Is HSR 3.8 Coming Out? – Honkai Star Rail 3.8 Release Date
HSR 3.8 will come out on December 16, 2025, 10:00 PM ET (UTC-5), which means Trailblazers in the American time zone can wait until the evening of December 16 to experience version 3.8. Meanwhile, European players likely won’t get to jump in early as the maintenance ends in the early morning. Consequently, those who reside in Asia can begin playing in the morning or at noon.
