Major 2.7 Honkai: Star Rail New Character Reveal Teased

HoYoVerse is teasing the reveal of the second 2.7 Honkai: Star Rail character, rather than showing the other new five-star debuting in the patch alongside Sunday. Typically, drip marketing reveals them after the Special Program comes up, but this time the developer is waiting until the same day as it.

Here is HoYoVerse’s announcement regarding the second 2.7 new Honkai: Star Rail character. No details about the identity of the person were revealed. However, there have been hints leading up to it in-game and leaks have already suggested who the new unit will be. The replies to the post bring that up, so avoid reading those if you don’t want to see spoilers.

While Sunday and this character will be the Honkai: Star Rail five-stars and new additions before 2024 ends, there’s only one confirmed addition for 2.6. That’s Rappa. She’s a Galaxy Ranger on the Erudition path that deals Imaginary damage. As such, expect to rely on her for AOE assaults. She’ll be a five-star when she joins the roster.

Honkai: Star Rail is available on the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and we will see the 2.6 Special Program airs at 4:30am PT/7:30am ET on October 11, 2024.
