HoYoverse made a brief appearance at Summer Game Fest 2023 and teased a Honkai Star Rail PS5 release date. “Tease” is key here, since we only got a vague time frame, but either way, you can expect Honkai Star Rail on PS5 sometime in the final quarter of 2023.
That should be between October 2023 and December 2023, but we’ll likely learn more about HoYoverse’s plans in a future Star Rail livestream.
Meanwhile, the team debuted a new trailer and introduced a few new characters in the process. We see Silver Wolf, available now in the version 1.1 update, hacking systems and implanting bugs. There’s also Luka, the 4-star melee fighter who rumors believe will show up in version 1.2 later in summer, and Yukong, another 4-star character. Yukong will run on Luocha’s banner in the second half of version 1.1 later in June 2023.
We saw new enemies, another fighting tournament, and plenty of flashy turn-based action, but we’ll have to wait for the next livestream to see what exactly HoYoverse has in store.
Genshin Impact‘s new region Fontaine is meant to launch late in summer 2023 as well, though while HoYoverse teased Sumeru during 2022’s showcase, the team didn’t show anything from the land of justice.
Meanwhile, check out our Honkai Star Rail tier list to see who might fit well with these upcoming characters.
