is clearly taking extra time to prepare something bigger, which honestly makes sense considering how massive 4.0 looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the timeline follows the standard six-week patch cycle, pre-download should open a couple of days earlier, with maintenance happening the night before launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means you can likely get straight into the new banners, story quests, and events the moment servers go live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HSR_40_Banner_Phases_Schedule\"><\/span><strong>HSR 4.0 Banner Phases
