Genshin Impact developer MiHoYo has announced that Honkai: Star Rail will be released on April 26 for PC, iOS and Android. While PlayStation 4 and 5 versions are currently under development.
The game takes place after the events of Honkai Impact 3rd on a space train called the Astral Express. The hero is implanted with something called Stellaron, which he identifies as a destructive seed that will eventually lead to disaster. Somewhat similar to Genshin Impact, players will unlock new characters to join their party as they progress through the story.
Honkai: Star Rail features a vast universe filled with a variety of different cultures and environments, such as the ice-covered Jarilo-VI, and the oriental fantasy-inspired Xianzhou Luofu.
The game also focuses on turn-based combat rather than the real-time combat found in Genshin Impact, as well as in-game purchases.
