ABOUT THE GAME

Honkai: Star Rail (, Chinese: 崩坏: 星穹铁道; pinyin: Bēnghuài: Xīngqióng Tiědào; lit. 'Collapse: Starry Sky Railway') is a 2023 free-to-play turn-based role-playing gacha video game developed and published by miHoYo (with publishing outside mainland China under Cognosphere, d/b/a HoYoverse). It is the fourth installment in the Honkai series and the spiritual successor to Honkai Impact 3rd, featuring alternative versions of characters from earlier titles in the series, as well as gameplay elements from miHoYo's previous game Genshin Impact. The game features the main character, who is referred to as the Trailblazer, traveling across the universe on a train called the Astral Express to help and connect the worlds while involved in resolving various disasters. The first closed beta test was launched on October 27, 2021. It was publicly released internationally for Windows and mobile devices on April 26, 2023, and for PlayStation 5 on October 11, 2023. Partially due to the popularity of Genshin Impact, the game was widely anticipated before its launch. It was received generally positively by critics, who praised its story, characters and combat system. However, opinions were mixed on its character progression system and gacha monetization strategy.
