Honkai Star Rail's answer to Madoka has already attracted 500k players before release: the mad rush around Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra

The influence of miHoYo, now known as HoYoverse, is evident in the gaming industry, as seen with the development of Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra, which draws inspiration from the highly praised Honkai: Star Rail. Currently, Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra is running a pre-registration campaign, offering player rewards as key milestones are reached. The recent achievement of 500,000 pre-registrations has unlocked a five-star reward, the 'Madoka Kaname Kioku', for users.

In other news, the release of the Honkai 3.0 update in January introduced a new explorable world, Amphoreus, for Honkai: Star Rail players. This update is poised to be the most significant for Honkai: Star Rail yet, drawing in both new and returning players across all platforms. Excitement continues to build, especially for PlayStation enthusiasts, as HoYoverse has confirmed the physical retail release date for the game.

The Honkai: Trailblazer Edition of Star Rail for PS5 comes packed with an array of exclusive items. The physical disc bundle includes:

• A Gilded Holographic Character Card Set featuring characters such as Firefly, Acheron, Aventurine, Kafka, Blade, Sparkle, Seele, Jingliu, and Robin;

• An in-game redemption code;
• The Honkai: Star Rail Game Disc;

These developments highlight HoYoverse's commitment to delivering rich gaming experiences and engaging content across their titles.
