The new leak for Honkai: Star Rail revealed an unannounced character named Acheron, who takes similarities to Honkai Impact 3rd character, Raiden Mei.

Honkai: Star Rail's Expanding Cast

Since Honkai: Star Rail's launch last April, the ensamble of characters has been continuously growing. Every update brings a new set of characters to the playable roster. It typically includes two new five-star characters and one four-star character.

The Version 1.3 update introduced a couple of impressive new characters such as Dan Heng, Fu Xuan, and Lynx, who is the youngest sibling of Gepard and Serval.

In an image leak shared by Honkai: Star Rail leaker hsr_stffu2, the character design for Acheron was revealed. Acheron sports a long bluish-purple hair which matches her overall clothing. The image also showed a sneak peek into her tattoo but not much of it was shown. Additionally, Acheron has an oni emblem on the sleeve of her dress.

Similarities to Honkai Impact 3rd Raiden Mei

Since not much was revealed aside from Acheron's appearance, fans were quick to notice how similar she looks with Honkai Impact 3rd's character Raiden Mei. There have been rumors before that Raiden Mei might appear in the Honkai: Star Rail.

It is quite common for characters to be leaked prior to the official announcement. For instance, recently added character Lynx's kit was unveiled months prior to her official introduction.

Honkai: Star Rail can be played on PC and mobile. Meanwhile, the PlayStation 5 version will be released on October 11.
