Honkai: Star Rail Leak Suggests Exciting Version 2.6 Rerun

A recent leak regarding Honkai: Star Rail has sparked excitement among fans, hinting at a significant rerun gacha banner set to launch in Version 2.6, featuring one of the game’s most beloved characters. Developed by HoYoverse, this popular sci-fi RPG has introduced a plethora of unique characters while providing players with multiple opportunities to obtain past favorites. Each update typically showcases at least two rerun banners, bringing previously spotlighted characters back into play. Now, whispers suggest that one of the game's most formidable characters may be making a comeback.

Version 2.6 of Honkai: Star Rail is shaping up to be a robust update filled with fresh content. This upcoming version will introduce a new five-star character, Rappa, a Galaxy Ranger ninja, to the game’s roster. Additionally, rumors indicate that the update will include a new Trailblaze Continuance story quest and an expansion for the Simulated Universe game mode. Alongside Rappa, another character closely tied to the Galaxy Rangers is expected to make an appearance.

Leaked Details on Acheron’s Return

According to a leak from Honkai: Star Rail informant Firefly Leaks, Version 2.6 will feature the much-anticipated return of Acheron in the game’s limited gacha banner. Acheron last appeared during her initial gacha banner in Version 2.1, where she was introduced as the Star Rail version of Honkai Impact 3rd’s Raiden Mei and claimed to be a member of the Galaxy Rangers. The launch of Version 2.6 is anticipated on October 22.

Acheron’s return to the gacha banner will provide players another chance to acquire one of the game’s most powerful characters. Renowned for her remarkable damage output, Acheron is widely regarded as one of the strongest DPS units in Honkai: Star Rail. Her unique Ultimate ability serves as her primary source of damage, and she operates with a distinct playstyle compared to other characters in her Path, as Nihility characters usually emphasize debuffs over raw damage.

The speculation surrounding Acheron’s rerun coincides with the growing excitement for future Honkai: Star Rail characters. Leaks have hinted at the arrival of two fan-favorite characters in upcoming updates, including the long-anticipated debut of Sunday and a new version of Tingyun. Furthermore, early leaks suggest that the next playable world may draw inspiration from the Greek and Roman empires. Acheron’s rerun adds to a compelling lineup of characters expected to join Star Rail in future patches.
