With the launch of Honkai: Star Rail less than 24 hours away, HoYoverse has revealed the full suite of events planned for the first version of the game. Since the initial reveal of the sci-fi RPG in late 2021, HoYoverse has built up plenty of hype surrounding the game through its multiple closed beta tests. The game has amassed a staggering pre-registration total as the RPG will look to follow in the footsteps of HoYoverse's previous success with Genshin Impact. Now, fans are in for plenty of exclusive content to celebrate the game's debut.
The impending launch of Honkai: Star Rail has reached a fever pitch both through fans of the game and HoYoverse themselves in recent weeks. The developer would release a flashy cinematic trailer on Monday for Seele, the game's first featured five-star character and a popular character from Honkai Impact 3rd. HoYoverse would also reveal earlier this week that the game had already hit #1 on the App Store throughout multiple regions before its official launch. Fans have shown their excitement for the game and HoYoverse is now readying them for what's to come.
A new update from the Genshin Impact developer has revealed the full event lineup planned for Honkai: Star Rail's release patch. Honkai: Star Rail will launch with two permanent challenge modes in the game with "Simulated Universe" and "Forgotten Hall." Simulated Universe will task players with challenging randomly-generated mazes and battling their way through Elite enemies for various rewards. Forgotten Hall's initial teaser presents itself as similar to Genshin Impact's Spiral Abyss, battling through waves of enemies on different stages.

Honkai: Star Rail is set up to be a huge success for HoYoverse with the game already boasting massive totals of pre-registered players. Star Rail would smash through Genshin Impact's pre-registration record within just 10 days of the game's pre-release campaign launching. The developer has already teased multiple areas players will be able to explore following the RPG's launch, including the Herta Space Station and the Xianzhou Luofu among others. Fans won't have to wait much longer to board the Astral Express and dive into Honkai: Star Rail.
