Honkai: Star Rail will have probably made a bajillion dollars by this time tomorrow – and it’s not even coming out on PS5 and PS4 just yet. The game – which is launching on PC and smartphones on 26th April – is gearing up to be the next big thing in gacha gaming since Genshin Impact, and developer miHoYo (which makes both) is licking its lips.

Whether you’re planning to get started on another platform or waiting for the PlayStation versions, this launch trailer should whet your appetite. It’s your typical anime affair, with sickly sweet pop music and some slick transitions. The game’s already attracted 10 million pre-registrations, so expect some wild engagement statistics to emerge over the coming days.

Just hoping it follows Genshin Impact’s footsteps with fair IAPs.
Damnit! I saw the character models and thought this is definitely a game for me. Then I read smartphone and gatcha…
I have it pre installed on my phone but I'm still not very hopeful I will be playing it long, if it's anything like genshin where you hardly got an xp from fighting then turn based battles are going to get boring and pointless real quick.
Hmm what is this?
Got it on PC, will try it out as I like the art style. i won't be sinking all my time into this though will wait for ZZZ to do that.
Nope I don't want another free 2 play timesink.
@z0d15g0d Who or what is ZZZ?
@KidRyan Zenless Zone Zero. The next Hoyoverse game. Looks like a cyberpunk genshin.
@z0d15g0d Oh yeah that game, completely forgot all about it.
@KidRyan Haha yea there hasn't been much talk about it since the trailer last year or a couple of years ago.
