A recent Honkai: Star Rail leak teased a Silver Wolf re-run. Once confirmed, she will be the second Honkai: Star Rail banner character to get a re-run after Seele in the upcoming Version 1.4.
Originally released in Honkai: Star Rail Version 1.2, Silver Wolf is one of four Stellaron Hunters known for her penchant for video games. She is a Quantum-element character following the Path of Nihility, meaning that she has abilities that debuff and apply weaknesses onto enemies. As of writing, Silver Wolf is the second highest in banner revenue, trailing behind Seele. Apart from being a playable character, Silver Wolf also makes appearances in Honkai: Star Rail's main story and side quests, which have made her even more popular with players.
Following news that Honkai: Star Rail was doing a Seele re-run, prominent leaker Dim, as reposted by StarRailVerse2, revealed that Version 1.5 will be having a Silver Wolf re-run. According to StarRailVerse2's post, the banner character will allegedly show up in the second phase of Version 1.5, alongside five-star character Argenti. There's still no final date for Honkai: Star Rail Version 1.5, but players can expect it around November.
Many Honkai: Star Rail fans seemed surprised and disappointed that Jing Yuan wasn't the next banner re-run as they were preparing to pull for the character and his Light Cone. A few of them speculated that HoYoverse probably skipped Jing Yuan because he was allegedly unpopular. While it's true that the character came after Seele, it's possible that Honkai: Star Rail based the re-run based on characters' popularity and banner revenue. As mentioned, Silver Wolf is currently the second highest, according to banner revenue chart by HonkaiLab.
Meanwhile, there were also players who were torn between pulling for Silver Wolf or Argenti. Based on Version 1.4's re-run format, Seele will have a separate banner from Topaz, so it's likely that this will also be the case for Silver Wolf. The players' concerns are understandable, especially since farming Stellar Jades and Star Rail passes can be a tedious task, unless they spend actual money for gacha pulls.
Before Honkai: Star Rail officially releases the Silver Wolf re-run, players will have to play through Version 1.4's new lineup of events and attempt to pull banner character Jingliu, Topaz, and Guinaifen. Despite being a relatively shorter Honkai: Star Rail update, many fans still seem excited to get into it to learn more about the game's lore, among other things.
Honkai: Star Rail is available now for PC and mobile devices, with a PS5 version releasing on October 11th.
