Although this is unconfirmed, we have a good idea of what Honkai: Star Rail release date will be HoYoverse’s newest live service offering.
Although it’s part of the Honkai franchise and brings back characters from previous games, Honkai: Star Rail is set in an alternate universe with different versions and stories for some returning characters, so you don’t need to have played. to previous Honkai games to start with. .
Whether you’re playing as a fan of Genshin Impact or Honkai, or just curious about this new sci-fi gacha game, we’ve detailed the expectations. Honkai: Star Rail release date below, as well as all pre-registration rewards you can get to register early.

Honkai: Star Rail release date
With a character called March 7 and some hints thrown by HoYovere that that would be the actual release date, many expected Star Rail to release that day.
With the final beta starting mid-February and no progress until the full release, that seems less likely – but we have a new date to look forward to!
If you go to the game page on iOS to pre-register, the Honkai: Star Rail release date is noted as April 26. It’s actually March 7 on the Chinese calendar, adding more credence to a Wednesday April 26 release. Only one week remains after the time it took for Genshin Impact to release its full 1.0 version after its own final beta.
As for the release time, there is not much information apart from the Star Rail beta release times and the drop date of Genshin Impact 1.0 and its future updates. We would guess between 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. UK BST timeso it would actually be between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Tuesday, April 25 on the east coast of the United States, and between 7 and 8 p.m. on the west coast.
As this is all just an educated guess, take the dates and times above with a pinch of salt. We’ll update this page with the official release date and time for Honkai: Star Rail when it’s revealed!
