Honkai Star Rail 2.7 Leaks Suggest Unexpected Character Getting New Skin

An unexpected character in Honkai: Star Rail 2.7 could be the first to receive an alternative skin, according to leaks for the upcoming patch. Version 2.7 is the next major patch for the turn-based role-playing game HoYoverse. The game has just released version 2.6, a patch that takes players back to Penacony to adventure on new maps. The update is also responsible for the introduction of Rappa Honkai: Star Rail. However, beta testing for version 2.7 has begun and with it new information about the next update is emerging.

The highlights of the leaks are of course the gameplay kits of Fugue and Sunday, the confirmed 5-star characters appearing in the patch. Both Tingyun’s 5-star form and the playable version of Sunday have been leaked for a long time, and now players are getting a glimpse into how they approach team competitions as their active and passive abilities have been leaked. In addition to the new characters themselves, several other details about the patch are leaked, including rumors about Honkai: Star Rail 2.7 is the longest patch to date as well as a new character skin.

Pom-Pom may receive skins in Honkai: Star Rail 2.7

A new outfit for the NPC has been leaked

The first character to receive a skin in the game may not be a playable unit, but an NPC. According to the leaker known as Sakura Haven Pom-Pom may receive new outfits in version 2.7. The leak was reported in a post tagged “Reliable” on Reddit. The leaked image shows Pom-Pom in her wardrobe, where players can choose the daily outfit for the Astral Express conductor. The leaked image shows two outfits for Pom-Pom: his traditional conductor outfit and a skin called Clamoring Fry-Master! Cooking outfit set in a set Honkai: Star Rail.

Additional outfits can be seen in the background that could potentially serve as pom-poms, such as a Christmas-themed set and two identical sets of clown-like clothing.

Players have been waiting for character skins in Honkai: Star Rail for a long time

Rumors have not yet predicted when new outfits will arrive

While the circumstances under which the leaked Pom-Pom skins were added to the game are still unknown, they could be related to an event. Regardless of the reason why the Astral Express conductor is getting new outfits, the leak is somewhat amusing. Players have been waiting for new skins for their playable characters for a long timeand there have been a few leaks suggesting that playable units would soon receive alternate outfits. However, the new leak proves that this may not be a priority and dressing up Pompom may take priority over actual playable characters Honkai: Star Rail 2.7.

Honkai Star Rail's Tingyun poses with a green light behind him.

Honkai Star Rail 2.7 Tingyun leaks will make these characters obsolete

New leaks have been shared about Fugue, Tingyun’s upcoming 5-star form in Honkai: Star Rail, and it could change the game’s meta forever.

It may take a while for skins for playable characters to be added to the game, as rumor has it that no time frame has been set for their release yet. However, it looks like they are in HoYoverse’s plans for the future, even if this is some time in the future. The Pom-Poms skins leak should be taken with a grain of salt, but it seems to be in line with other rumors about an Astral Express expansion and more customization options. Hopefully the release of the Pompom skins marks the beginning of more character customization options Honkai: Star Rail.
