New Honkai: Star Rail Leaks Hint At Long-Awaited New Skins For Two Characters

Summary Two new character skins in Honkai: Star Rail may arrive soon based on recent leaks.

Skins have long been rumored, and now the leaks provide a more concrete release window.

Free skins may be released for a limited time via events, and a 5-star skin will likely be paid.

Two characters are getting new skins, according to some fresh Honkai: Star Rail leaks. Visual customization options have not been available in HoYoverse’s hit RPG, in spite of the many fan requests for it. Players have already seen multiple characters from the game in alternative clothing, both in artwork and in-game, though these visuals have not been available – skins are featured in HoYoverse’s other popular game, Genshin Impact, even if limited in some aspects. Now, however, it seems like the wait for this customization option is coming to an end.

Information obtained by the leaker known as Dim was then shared in a post tagged as “Reliable” on Reddit, and it hints at skins being added fairly soon. The leak highlights some of the upcoming content for the next few patches, including the new form for March 7th in Honkai: Star Rail. The same leak also mentions that March 7th is due to receive a new skin – possibly under the guise of her new form – as well as Kafka, the 5-star Lightning Nihility character from the Stellaron Hunters.

March 7th and Kafka Skins In Honkai: Star Rail May Arrive Soon

Skins Have Long Been Rumored

Close

Based on the information provided by the leak, both March 7th and Kafka will receive skins by early 2025, which is when the game should enter Version 3.0. Dim mentions that these updates should occur during certain 2.x patches, which means they should likely happen at some point this year. The leak also cites that it is uncertain if March 7th and Kafka skins will be released simultaneously or if they will arrive individually over separate patches in Honkai: Star Rail. March 7th’s skin was the first to leak and is now followed by Kafka’s alleged new visual.

“There is a chance that March 7th’s skin will be given out for free.”

If the turn-based RPG is to follow its action RPG sibling’s product model, then there is a chance the skins will be released together. Genshin Impact often releases two skins simultaneously, one that is obtainable for free during a limited quest and alters the design of a 4-star unit, and another that can only be obtained through paid methods and is related to a 5-star character. The leaks seem convenient for Honkai: Star Rail, too, considering March 7th is a 4-star character and Kafka is a 5-star unit. Their simultaneous release could also mean one good thing for players.

If the leaks about skins are true and the turn-based RPG does release the two skins at the same time, there is a chance that March 7th’s skin will be given out for free, at least for a limited time. As a 4-star character, her alternative visual could be a reward for a limited-time event and, after the conclusion of that opportunity, be added to the store for players to purchase in case they missed the chance of getting it for free. The skin for Kafka in Honkai: Star Rail, however, is most likely going to be paid.

In-game, March 7th has already been presented with an alternative dress during the “Jolted Awake From a Winter Dream” questline. This means the model for the dress exists in the game’s coding, even if not yet adapted for gameplay.

As a leak, the rumors about these two new skins should be taken with a grain of salt. The information provided may be incorrect or is still subject to change. Nevertheless, the prospect of more visual customization in Honkai: Star Rail is exciting, especially if it does start off with two popular characters like March 7th and Kafka.
