Honkai: Star Rail 2.7 Leaks: Pom-Pom Gets a New Outfit! (Seriously?)
Honkai: Star Rail 2.7 Leaks: An Unexpected Character Gets a New Skin!
Whoa, hold up! Leaks for Honkai: Star Rail 2.7 are hinting at something super unexpected: a new skin—but not for a playable character. Instead, the spotlight's on everyone’s favorite train conductor, Pom-Pom! This is huge. Version 2.7 is the next big update for HoYoverse's awesome turn-based RPG and this game already has amazing popularity – the next big thing for mobile gaming! Following its newest update, Version 2.6 (sending players back to Penacony and adding Rappa to the mix), the beta testing for 2.7 is already underway; and this means leaks!
Those leaks, focus primarily on some important new additions. These include new playable characters Fugue and Sunday. Both Tingyun's 5-star form and Sunday have already surfaced earlier in prior leaks; yet now, the game mechanics– their active and passive skills—are known! Plus the rumors concerning that upcoming 2.7 update (which might even be longer than earlier versions, potentially resulting in an expanded game-play time); all this is pretty significant!
Pom-Pom's New Outfits: From Conductor to Fry Master!
A leak on Reddit (from leaker Sakura Haven and labeled “Reliable”), suggests that Pom-Pom gets brand new outfits in 2.7! This leak displays Pom-Pom in their “coat room” which would suggest some expanded game mechanic – in order to enable choosing different outfits and it would make it a lot more engaging than it is right now! The picture shows a few looks:
- His default conductor outfit.
- A brand new “Clamoring Fry-Master! Chef Outfit”. Seriously, that's the name. This one alone is just hilariously named.
Even better; there are more! Background pics reveal possibly more sets (like Christmas outfits and some creepy clown costumes!). That is extremely intense! What could it possibly mean? No idea yet!
Why This is Both Funny and (Slightly) Concerning
Nobody’s quite sure why Pom-Pom gets these new skins – it could possibly tie to an event– or other unexpected details may exist within that game mechanic yet unannounced which might give more reasons why Pom-Pom's added skins were deemed significant! Either way, the leak is somewhat unexpected. Players have clamored for skins for playable characters for ages and those previous leaks suggested this was going to happen. Yet the addition of those many different clothes, the additional accessories and multiple outfits strongly indicates that further expansion beyond simply Pom-Pom exists in the developers plans. Yet these could take priority over that playable character’s additional cosmetic enhancements.
Playable character skins might arrive later (though details remain unconfirmed). This new addition (Pom-Pom's new clothes), likely linked to rumors around expanding that Astral Express area itself; might even signal broader character customization features. But one has to wait! That added complexity alone gives further speculation why players want the actual playable character to have this enhancement– even that added customization becomes highly probable given that those additional cosmetic assets were displayed in the background, showcasing that it is a priority.
Conclusion: Get Ready for More Honkai: Star Rail Fun!
The Pom-Pom skin leak is fun and could potentially be significant, suggesting those future plans surrounding Honkai: Star Rail's continued growth and development beyond those immediate goals shown with the addition of these two major new characters (Fugue and Sunday). While we're still waiting for confirmations, those leaked details strongly hint toward additional options that all players should enjoy and look into. Expect additional details as we approach 2.7; we will get a lot more exciting things going as it begins. It all remains unconfirmed; however; and many further speculations and reasons why players should continue paying attention is given in that added level of intrigue!
