Dimbreath had previously hinted at a new type of gacha banner on Telegram, which garnered quite some attention from the community. The information regarding the Warp system changes was limited until X user UBatcha shared that it will likely roll out in the Honkai Star Rail 2.5 update.

If the speculations are true, Trailblazers might soon be looking at switchable groups of banners. The individual Warps for the featured characters and their signature Light Cone will remain unchanged. However, players might be able to switch between three rerun banners.

This could help fans target specific rerun characters now that they will potentially appear in the cycle more frequently. Veterans, in particular, will certainly welcome such promising changes since it could only boost the convenience and accessibility during summoning sessions.

That said, HoYoverse has yet to confirm any of these banner system adjustments, so the speculations could change at any given time. Nevertheless, players will soon find out if the officials decide to implement the changes in the next update.
