Honkai: Star Rail is the latest fantasy role-playing game from HoYoverse – the creators of Genshin Impact.

After a long wait, Honkai: Star Rail will officially launch at the end of April.

Honkai: Star Rail is the fourth game in the Honkai universe, following the titles Houkai Gakuen, Houkai Gakuen 2, also known as Guns Girl Z, and Honkai Impact 3rd.

Honkai: Star Rail has a lot of similarities with Genshin Impact

The biggest attraction for Genshin Impact fans to Honkai: Star Rail is the similarities between these two games.

Besides, Star Rail also has countless limited events to expand and develop the plot, from which players will learn more about the Honkai world and the characters in the game, just like the way Genshin did.

One of Genshin Impact’s strengths is its diverse and in-depth character designs.

Differences of Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact is still in its boom period, so there’s no way HoYoverse would release a copy of it right now.

If Genshin is an open world, Star Rail is more linear.

Besides, the fighting mechanism is also a new element.

Having knowledge of Honkai is not absolutely necessary, but still useful

Some Genshin Impact fans may have played other Honkai games, some may not.

Coming to Star Rail, players will encounter familiar elements that make the game more interesting.

After all, there is no reason for Genshin Impact gamers to refuse to try Honkai: Star Rail once.
