MiHoYo, the developer behind the popular game Genshin Impact, has announced the release date for its new game, Honkai: Star Rail. The tactical, turn-based, space-fantasy RPG is set to launch on April 26th for PC and mobile platforms. In addition to this, the developer has also confirmed that a PlayStation (PS5 / PS4) version of the game will be available “later.”
While not much is known about the game, it has been revealed that Honkai: Star Rail will offer turn-based combat instead of the open-world action seen in Genshin Impact. Based on the game’s trailers, the art style seems to be inspired by anime, with a cast of memorable characters. The story is set in the same universe as Honkai Impact 3rd and follows the protagonist’s journey to uncover the truth about the “Cancer of All Worlds” while exploring diverse worlds like snow-covered Jarilo-VI.
