Honkai: Star Rail released an official trailer called Interstellar Journey on YouTube on Tuesday, reaching 1.3 million views in around 24 hours.Genshin Impact is more of a third-person action RPG, whereas Star Rail is a turn-based RPG. Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin Impact do share some similarities, but the two games differ in their combat scenarios.

While the two games share themes, elements, and characters, the producer says the new title is an independent game and players don’t need previous knowledge of other Honkai titles.


For example, the team has been trying to incorporate AI technology into the behavior patterns of NPC (non-play characters) in Honkai: Star Rail. HoYoverse is also exploring the use of AI tools to achieve a better immersive game experience for the new title, according to National Business Daily. Initially teased on April 23 and now available worldwide in beta mode, the game has already garnered high expectations, amassing more than 30 million pre-download reservations after it was first announced. HoYoverse, the developer behind smash hit Genshin Impact, has seen its latest game, Honkai: Star Rail, leap to the top of Apple’s App Store download charts following its launch on April 26.
