Honkai: Star Rail drops official release date along with other sneak peeks in latest Boarding Preparation Special Program video

HoYoverse has finally announced the official release date for Honkai: Star Rail, the studio's highly anticipated space fantasy sci-fi RPG. Landing on iOS and Android devices on April 26th, the game will also be available on PC and on the Epic Games Store, with a PlayStation version currently under development.

In Honkai: Star Rail, players can look forward to a vast interstellar adventure across jaw-dropping visuals and action-packed combat. The unique characters you'll be able to recruit along the way boast the same high-quality character art that fans of Genshin Impact have come to know and love, and you can pre-register now to get first dibs on the game as soon as it launches.

Trailblazers will be able to explore the Astral Express as well as diverse planets across the stars. Combat is a turn-based affair with gorgeous skill animations - something I was able to witness first-hand from an early preview of the game.
