Dan Heng isn’t the only character in Honkai: Star Rail with a mysterious past. Welt Yang, one of the senior members aboard the Astral Express, has one of the most complex backstories in all of Honkai. He’s a bit cagey about his past even if you ask outright, saying he’s just a white-collar worker in the animation industry. But there’s more than enough evidence to suggest this Welt is the same Welt from Honkai Impact 3rd — which establishes an interesting precedent for how Honkai: Star Rail sets up more multiversal crossovers featuring developer miHoYo’s other gaming universe. Maybe we’ll even see Genshin Impact cross over with Star Rail.
