A recent leak from Honkai: Star Rail has revealed concept art for a brand-new playable unit named Gallagher. The Honkai: Star Rail community has been treated to a number of leaks since the release of the version 1.3 update in late August. These provided players with new information about various characters, events, and weapons, with one revealing that the Belobog map will expand further at some point in the game. One reliable leaker also claimed that version 1.4 will give players some four-star free characters like Luka, Pela, and Serval.
Based on leaks from the community, Honkai: Star Rail will introduce an all-new playable unit called Gallagher. His name could also be Butler, as he fits the description of a previously leaked character of the same name. He is allegedly working with or for Sunday, another playable character that doesn’t have a release date yet. Aside from his concept model and potential names, players know little about Gallagher. Considering his rarity, skills, and story remain a mystery, he will most likely be added in Honkai: Star Rail version 1.6 or beyond.
A new Honkai: Star Rail leak from stepleaker showed concept art of Gallagher, a mysterious character that will arrive in the game at somepoint in the future. It looks like he has an average human body covered with a long sleeve jacket and pink pants. The character also wears a pink tie and black belt that perfectly align with his outfit. If this leak is anything to go by, Gallagher will be the first playable character with facial hair. In the comments section, fellow players claimed that this concept model reminds them of Honkai: Star Rail‘s Sampo.
It’s safe to say that Gallagher looks like a long-suffering man with melancholic personality traits. He has scars on some parts of his body, which could give clues to his story background. He also looks older than many male characters in Honkai: Star Rail. More information about this mysterious unit will likely surface on the internet in the near future.
Honkai: Star Rail features a number of characters that have their own skill set, personality, and backstory. Players can bring these characters together to build an effective team and complete expeditions. They are divided into two categories depending on their rarity, which defines their overall performance against formidable enemies. Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin Impact use a similar gacha system that allows players to unlock new units by spending in-game currency or completing events.
Honkai: Star Rail is available now for PC and mobile devices. A PS5 version will be released on October 11th.
