The Honkai: Star Rail creative and development teams benefit greatly from the PS5™'s exceptional hardware capabilities, making it an ideal platform for Trailblazers on their cosmic journey. The PS5™ effortlessly achieves native 4K resolution, which helps immerse players in the captivating alien landscapes. Moreover, the game efficiently leverages PS5™'s robust performance to deliver enhanced visual effects to Trailblazers. The Alchemy Commission, one of the most representative locations within the Xianzhou Luofu, can be an example where the game seamlessly delivers Volumetric Fog and renders high-quality water features, creating lifelike representation with intricate layers of the level design, and varying wavelengths that produce authentic motion and reflections respectively.
Beyond visual enhancements, the PS5™'s impressive SSD performance ensures swift file loading, resulting in a smoother and more seamless intergalactic adventure. In addition to these improvements on the PS5™ engine, the Honkai: Star Rail team remains committed to enhancing the player experience by developing new content and optimizing existing elements through long-term content updates.
Additionally, in the new version 1.4, as Jingliu, Topaz & Numby, and Guinaifen make their debuts and join the team as playable characters, Trailblazers are introduced to the universe's leading video game brand, Aetherium Wars. Its latest event set on Jarlio VI - the “Interastral Tournament Festival” - invites Trailblazers to dive into the world of Aetherium Wars, where they can collect and nurture their own Aether Spirits. These digital companions are replicas of unique creatures that can be trained and developed into formidable combat allies. As the festival unfolds, countless players from across the cosmos will come together to participate in Aetherium Wars, forging new friendships and adventures along the way.
Besides being available across platforms such as PC, Epic Games Store, iOS, and Android, Honkai: Star Rail is now available on the PlayStation®5 platform starting from October 11, along with the 1.4 version update. With cross-save and cross-play functions, the multi-platform integration offers seamless transitions across different platforms. The game has been rated Teen by ESRB and 12 by PEGI.
