New RPG from the creators of Genshin Impact has a release date – Coming soon, but PS5 players will have to wait

The creators of Genshin Impact have announced a release date for their upcoming sci-fi RPG, but PS5 players will have to wait.

What kind of game is this? Honkai: Star Rail (PC, PlayStation, Mobile) is a free-to-play sci-fi RPG from the Chinese developer studio HoYoverse, best known for the successful gacha game Genshin Impact.

Honkai: Star Rail mixes science fiction with an anime style and sends you into space. You travel through the galaxy on a train, exploring different worlds and trying to resolve conflicts. You will encounter numerous puzzles and labyrinths that you have to solve.

In addition, Honkai: Star Rail relies on a turn-based combat system and various unlockable characters.

Release as early as April, except for PlayStation players

When is the release? Honkai: Star Rail will be available on April 26th for PC on the Epic Games Store and mobile devices (Android, iOS).

A PlayStation version has also been confirmed. However, this is still in development and will not be published in April, but at a later date. There is currently no exact date for the PlayStation version.

If you’re interested in the sci-fi RPG, you’ve been able to pre-register for the release since February. Honkai: Star Rail now has over 10 million registrations.

By reaching over 5 million registrations, the developers are offering all players a variety of rewards, such as 50,000 credits, the 4-star Serval character, and 15 Star Rail passes.
