Honkai Star Rail: Release Date, Pre-Registration, Beta, Gameplay, Characters

Honkai: Star Rail is an upcoming free-to-play RPG mobile game developed by HoYoverse, the team behind the highly popular title Genshin Impact.

Though it is the fourth installment in the 'Honkai' series, you won't need to play the other titles to know what it's all about. The new game will follow a different storyline and introduce you to a new batch of characters. However, don't rule out any possibility of meeting familiar faces.

In Honkai: Star Rail, you control a team of up to four characters on an interstellar train known as the 'Star Rail'. From there, you'll venture through the universe as you battle against Steallarons - the destroyer of civilizations - and uncover the truth about them.

Altogether, it promises to be an exciting, action-packed sci-fi adventure mobile game that falls nothing short of what we should expect from any HoYoverse title.
