PS5 players eagerly awaiting the arrival of Honkai: Star Rail won't have to wait much longer. The arrival of Honkai: Star Rail on the PS5 shouldn't catch anyone off guard, as it was previously confirmed that a PS5 version was slated for release by the end of the year. The game has already been out on PC and mobile for almost 5 months.
Developed by the creators of the renowned titles Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd, Honkai: Star Rail, an anime-style turn-based RPG, is making its way to PS5 on October 11 as announced during the recent PlayStation State of Play showcase.
Similar to Hoyoverse's other acclaimed titles (Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd), Honkai: Star Rail incorporates a gacha system, allowing players to acquire characters and weapons primarily through in-game "pulls." This entails wishing on a character event banner using in-game premium currency earned through gameplay or by making in-app purchases.
The PS5 launch coincides with the introduction of a new 5-star Destruction Ice character, Jingliu. This offers new players ample opportunities to acquire Star Rail Special Passes, which are used for wishing on event banners.
Thankfully, Honkai: Star Rail offers plenty of content that will keep you engaged for months and help you acquire the passes needed to pull your favorite characters. If you're a meta player interested in raising the value of your account, I strongly suggest considering the Jingliu banner when it debuts. It's also rumored to feature a 4-star Ice Nihility character, renowned for its defense shredder and enemy-debuffing abilities, making it an exceptional support choice for your DPS characters.
