In a departure from Zelda-esque action sequences and gameplay of Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail adheres to a traditional RPG style. That said, similar to other titles from HoYoverse, Star Rail follows a familiar free-to-play pattern with its unlocking of characters and weapons reliant on a gacha loot box system.

Beside confirming a release date, HoYoverse has also stated that the console version of the game is under development for PS4 and PS5. See a new PlayStation trailer of the game below providing a preview of various characters in action.

Initial glimpse of the game looks promising. Considering how Genshin Impact exceeded everyone’s expectations, it would be foolish to discount the prospects of this upcoming title striking a chord with the fans of turn-based action RPGs.
