The newest character Bailu has also been unveiled
Honkai: Star Railis the first turn-based RPG in the Honkai /Genshin Impactuniverse, and its final beta started earlier today on PC and mobile. Pre-registration has now closed, but you might be able to gain access through the game’sFAQ page.While HoYoverse haven’t announced a release date for their cosmic fantasy adventure, eagle-eyed fans have spotted a potential April date on the IOS App Store.
To celebrate Star Rail’s final beta, HoYoverse have also unveiled their newest character, the blue-tailed Bailu. Her character trailer doesn’t include any in-game footage, although we do get an idea of what her attacks might look like as she shoots jets of water and fish at a group of baddies. Oh, bayou, Bailu… I see what they did there.
Despite the global popularity of Honkai and Genshin Impact, I’ve never been able to get into the series due to their gacha elements. I also know that Star Rail is the fourth game in the series, so do I really want to catch up with three other gacha games? I am a sucker for turn-based combat and spacefaring trains, though, so maybe Star Rail will be where I hop on. Plus, a tall warrior lady who wields anelectric purple guitar?The right amount of camp for me.
Honkai: Star Rail’s final beta is open now, and the full game will release as a free-to-play download later this year (maybe in April) on mobile devices, Steam, and theEpic Games Store.
