An unexpected character inHonkai: Star Rail2.7 may be the first one to receive an alternative skin, according to leaks about the upcoming patch. Version 2.7 is the next major patch for HoYoverse’s turn-based RPG. The game has just entered Version 2.6, a patch that takes players back to Penacony for adventures across new maps. The update is also responsible for introducingRappa inHonkai: Star Rail. However, the beta tests for Version 2.7 have started and, with them, new information about the next update is starting to arise.

Naturally, the highlights of the leaks are Fugue and Sunday’s gameplay kits, the confirmed 5-star characters arriving in the patch. Both Tingyun’s 5-star form and the playable version of Sunday have long been leaked and, now, players are getting some insight into how they will operate in team comps given the fact that their set of abilities, both active and passive, have leaked. In addition to the new characters themselves, several other details about the patch are being leaked, including the rumors ofHonkai: Star Rail2.7 being the longest patchso far, as well as a new character skin.

A New Outfit For The NPC Has Leaked

The first character to get a skin in the game may not be a playable unit, but an NPC. According to information provided by the leaker known as Sakura Haven,Pom-Pom may get new outfits in Version 2.7. The leak was shared in a post tagged as “Reliable” onReddit. The leaked image shows Pom-Pom in their coatroom, where players can select the daily outfit for the Astral Express’ conductor. The leaked image shows two outfits for Pom-Pom: his traditional conductor’s outfit and a skin called Clamoring Fry-Master! Chef Outfit Set inHonkai: Star Rail.

In the background, there are extra outfits that may eventually serve Pom-Pom, such as a Christmas-themed set and two identical sets of clown-like clothing.

Players Have Long Been Waiting For Character Skins In Honkai: Star Rail

Rumors Have Not Yet Predicted When New Outfits Will Arrive

While the circumstances of Pom-Pom’s leaked skins’ addition to the game are still unknown, they may be related to an event. Regardless of the reason as to why the Astral Express’ conductor will get new outfits, the leak is somewhat amusing.Players have long been waiting for new skins for their playable characters, and there have been a few leaks indicating that playable units would soon get alternative outfits. The new leak, however, proves that this may not be a priority, and dressing up Pompom may take precedence over actual playable characters inHonkai: Star Rail2.7.

Honkai Star Rail 2.7 Tingyun Leaks Will Make These Characters Obsolete

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

It may take a while before skins for playable characters are added to the game, as rumors have not yet established a time frame for them to arrive. However, it does seem like they are in HoYoverse’s plans for the future, even if some time from now. The leak about Pom-Pom’s skins should be taken with a grain of salt, but it does seem to match up with other rumors of an expansion to the Astral Express and more customization options. Hopefully, the release of the Pompom skins marks the start of more character customization options inHonkai: Star Rail.
