New story spoiler leaks about Honkai: Star Trail 2.7 were shared, indicating that players will be able to see Herta’s true form in-game during the next patch. Version 2.7 is scheduled to arrive within a few weeks, as the second half of version 2.6 has already begun. The next patch for the turn-based RPG has not yet been officially confirmed by developer HoYoverse, but following the game’s regular six-week schedule, it is possible to speculate that it will arrive in early December. The update will add Fuga and Domingo to the Honkai: Star Trailwhich has already been teased by HoYoverse.
In addition to the new 5-star playable characters that are slated to arrive, version 2.7 is expected to add more content to keep players entertained. So far, leaks showed that there should be at least one new Trailblaze Continuance missionas well as various events. Among the developments are rumors of new areas in Astral Express, including a room for the Trailblazer. This room is rumored to feature a customization mode in Honkai: Star Trailwhich should allow players to decorate the main character’s private quarters. Now, a new story leak has emerged and it could contain huge spoilers.
Herta’s true form may appear in a Honkai: Star Rail 2.7 mission
Leaks indicate that the Genius Society member will appear in the next update
According to new information provided by the leaker known as HomDGCat, version 2.7 will have a new Trailblaze Continuance mission that is expected to feature several characters, including Sunday, Fugue, Robin, Welt, and Yukong. The leak, shared in a post tagged “Reliable” about Redditalso says that Fugue will become an Express Visitor upon completion of the quest – which must be the same one that presents a huge spoiler for the story related to Sunday in Honkai: Star Trail. The most interesting thing about the leak, however, is the final information, which mentions the appearance of Herta.
The leak says that at the end of the Trailblaze Continuance Mission Version 2.7, Herta will appear on her Space Station. In this scene, she is rumored to commune with an Aeon, although the leak does not specify which one. The leak itself doesn’t say that this will be Herta’s true form, but the game has been teasing her appearance for some time, starting with the Simulated Universewhich triggered Herta’s true form in Honkai: Star Trail even before the official confirmation of its addition to the game.
Herta’s design can be revealed via a still image in Honkai: Star Rail 2.7
The game often teases new designs without showing them
If the character mentioned in the leak is not one of Herta’s dolls, but rather her true form, it’s worth noting that her full design may be somewhat obscured. There is no guarantee that what is shown at the end of the Version 2.7 mission will be a full cutscene with the character appearing in full. In fact, there is a possibility that this event will be shown through an illustration. In version 2.5, Fugue’s return was teased through a still image in which Ruan Mei appeared to be conversing with Fugue’s silhouette in Honkai: Star Trail rather than the character himself.
Although this remains to be seen, it is likely that the Aeon mentioned in the leak is Nous. Herta is known to be an Emanator of Erudite and serves Nous in his Path. Of course, if she isn’t communicating with Nous, players could be in for a major plot twist. However, these leaks should be taken with a grain of salt until the release of version 2.7, as HoYoverse will likely not even trigger an event of this magnitude during the Honkai: Star Trail 2.7 live broadcast.
