Chinese developer HoYoverse, previously known as miHoYo, rose to fame with the incredibly popular free-to-play game Genshin Impact. Even if this title keeps growing with new content and updates, the studio is also preparing other game launches such as Honkai: Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero, both of which were shown at the Summer Game Fest yesterday.
Honkai: Star Rail stands apart from both Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero in that it’s not an action game. Here’s the official description from HoYoverse.
Zenless Zone Zero, on the other hand, is a fast-paced action game set in an urban fantasy world.
HoYoverse said that Honkai: Star Rail is currently hosting another Closed Beta round that began on May 25th, while Zenless Zone Zero just opened up beta signups on the official site and will soon receive details on its Closed Beta schedule. Both games will be released first on PC and mobile, though if Genshin Impact is any indication, they’ll eventually land on consoles as well.
