Star Rail a continuation of Honkai?

Star Rail a Continuation of Honkai: Revealing the Truth

The world of honors has been abuzz with whispers of a new game, Star Rail, and its connection to the illustrious Honkai Impact. miHoYo, the developer and publisher of Honkai games, has been tight-lipped about Star Rail’s relationship with its predecessor until recently. In this article, we shall delve into the truth behind Star Rail’s connection to Honkai Impact.

**Is Star Rail Directly Connected to Honkai?"

Despite the name "Star Rail," Star Rail is not a direct continuation or sequel to Honkai: Impact 3rd. However, worlds within both games share a collective canon, known as the Imaginary Tree. This multiversal connection was first introduced in the in-game lore of Honkai Impulse.

The Imaginary Tree, as mentioned earlier, allows for connections between different worlds. This is evident in two aspects:

The Imaginary tree takes on a tree-like structure with diverging branches. Each branch hosts a world within the HoYoVerse multiverse. As time passes, more branches will grow while some will wither making it a living organic structure. This organic setup enables worlds to interact, evolve organically, and even overlap due to shared connections.

Story Connection: A Different Context

Honkai: Star Railway, like Honkai impasse, shares a common timeline – albeit not directly connected storytelling. Both games feature new stories and characters, but there you’ll find connections between the worlds across different timelines.

What Doesn’t Connect

There remain no direct connections between the characters or games, like Himeko- Otto, while Stelle Caelus are identical, except different appearance.

Conclusion: Beyond Honkai

While Star Rail may not be a direct link to Honkai Impact 4th, the Imaginary the connection provides a rich and exciting experience. Worlds within this unique multiverse will evolve organically, with stories and characters shaping their own paths. In return, players will enjoy a rich narrative beyond Honkai games.
