[HSR Launch] Honkai: Star Rail Release Date Confirmed for April 26th!

The wait is finally over: miHoYo has officially announced the launch date for Honkai: Star Rail, arriving on April 26th! The launch will cover iOS, Android, and PC platforms simultaneously. While a PlayStation version is also confirmed, the release date for that platform remains under wraps.

The OP also shared a link to a DIY train ticket web event, which garnered significant interest from the community.

The community response was enthusiastic, with players praising miHoYo's incredible production speed. In Chinese gaming slang, "drawing a pancake" (画饼) refers to announcing upcoming game content; fans jokingly noted that miHoYo produces these "pancakes" remarkably fast. One user quipped that compared to other developers who teased games even earlier but have shown nothing since—sarcastically dubbed "Journey to the Center of the Earth"—miHoYo is actually farming, while others are still waiting for the wheat to evolve on its own. Others pointed out visual similarities in the promotional materials to Persona, calling it a successful "stanning" moment.
