Hello, my name is Yang Yu. Today, we’re happy to announce that Honkai: Star Rail, a free-to-play space fantasy RPG, is coming soon to PlayStation. As the protagonist, you board the Astral Express with unique passengers. As a “Trailblazer”, discover realms of space and uncover secrets buried in legend.
A sci-fi world with elements of fantasy
Exploration is at the heart of all adventures. Honkai: Star Rail features an in-game world awaiting discovery where mythological elements are blended into his sci-fi story of the universe. In this universe, there are “Ions” who are personifications of universal principles who can traverse infinite worlds freely by Primum Mobile – basically they are gods of terrible power! Different types of civilizations thrive in every corner of the universe, as the roaming Aeons uphold their own beliefs.
But there is an Aeon named Destruction who sees the universe as a fallacy, sees civilization as a cancer, and casts a seed of doom called Stellaron across the galaxy that causes massive changes in ecosystems. As the protagonist, you are implanted with Stellaron at the beginning of the story. To delve into the essence of Stellaron, you bravely set sail into the galaxy to compose an interstellar melody full of surprises and rewarding experiences.
different worlds to explore
Honkai: Star Rail offers a vast universe rich in unique cultures, landscapes and scenery. Full of rewards and secrets waiting to be explored.
After experiencing the origins of the story at Hertha Space Station, you can set sail to explore two of the main destinations for interstellar travel: Jaliro 6 and Senju Luofu. Yarilo-VI holds countless mysteries and dangers, frozen beneath its snow cap awaiting further investigation. Silkpunk flagship Xianzhou Luofu, whose inhabitants seem to have achieved immortality, heralds an upcoming expedition imbued with oriental fantasy.
Friendly heads-up: There is still a lot of uncharted territory. We’re looking at ways to take space fantasy to another dimension by adding new in-game content. Details will be revealed in the future.
Choose a companion to take on the challenge
Of course, space exploration isn’t always about encountering hospitable inhabitants with arms wide open to welcome your arrival. Otherwise, your survival is on the knife edge!
Luckily you are not alone. During a whirlwind journey of chasing the stars, players will meet new allies with unique abilities. They’re happy to join in and help out with map exploration, puzzle research, and more.
Plus, the turn-based combat system is easy to learn but hard to master, making it a great place to test your team building skills and combat readiness. If you can skillfully and strategically utilize each character’s skill set, they’ll all have a place to shine and unleash their full potential to aid in your mission.
Roaming the world and solving mysteries, Honkai: Star Rail offers an epic space journey filled with twists and turns, coincidences and happiness. Assemble a four-person combat team from a variety of playable characters, befriend allies, and utilize their unique skills to overcome challenges from all corners of the universe!
Honkai: Star Rail is coming to PlayStation soon. Thank you for your continued patronage of Honkai: Star Rail. Thank you Trailblazers. I look forward to seeing you again.
