Right as the Honkai: Star Rail Special Program 1.1 was supposed to air at 4:30am PT/7:30am ET on May 26, 2023, it didn’t. The official YouTube link for it, which previously showed a preliminary page, suddenly read, “Video unavailable: This video has been removed by the uploader.” This was followed by an announcement saying to check social media later. HoYoVerse then updated to say it is delayed on Twitter. Update at 9:45am ET on May 26, 2023: HoYoVerse announced the Special Program will now air at 4:30am PT/7:30am ET on May 27, 2023. It also noted that there will be 100 Stellar Jade distributed tomorrow as an apology for the delay.
Here is HoYoVerse’s full initial statement.
