The latest trailer fromHonkai: Star Railput the spotlight of Silver Wolf, and it seemed to also add a reference toHonkai Impact 3rd. While both titles both have “Honkai” in their names, HoYoverse already established thatStar Railwasn’t a direct sequel to its predecessor, but it doesexist in the same universe along withGenshin Impact.
The two gacha games have distinct differences, starting with the gameplay:Honkai: Star Railis a turn-based RPG, whileHonkai Impact 3rdis classified as an action game with slasher mechanics. They also have different storylines despite both having sci-fi elements to them. The most obvious evidence that the games are connected are the characters, which have counterparts in the HoYoverse multiverse. The mostnotable examples being Seeleand Bronya, who are in bothHonkaigames.

Another character who players might not know had aHonkai Impact 3rdcounterpart was upcomingfive-star banner character Silver Wolf. In the latestHonkai: Star Railcharacter trailer titled “Got a Date?,” Silver Wolf was shown playing as herself (Bronie) inHonkai Impact 3rdbefore Kafka’s text messages disturbed her gameplay. She later got out of her gaming room to battle the Antimatter Legion, while showcasing her various skills.
Bronie is an alternate version of Bronya Zaychik inHonkai Impact 3rd, who is known for wearing a Haxxor Bunny battlesuit. Her silver hair and edgy outfit are similar to Silver Wolf’s overall look inHonkai: Star Rail,and they can both materialize drones of some sort out of thin air. Many gamers also pointed out the easter egg in Silver Wolf’s trailer, while expressing how excited they were to pull for her in Version 1.1.
The HoYoverse multiverse is interesting because fans can get different iterations of their characters across various games. Thankfully, players aren’t required to get intoHonkai Impact 3rd(or evenGenshin Impact) before trying their hand inHonkai: Star Rail. The latter title has a compelling standalone story that HoYoverse newbies could easily digest once they start playing.
With Silver Wolf’s trailer further establishing the connection between the twoHonkaigames, players could start wondering whether otherHonkai Impact 3rdcharacters would appear inHonkai: Star Railin the future. There are still no confirmations from HoYoverse’s end about the possibility, but considering the number ofleakedStar Railcharactersthat have been revealed online, the players might get their answer sooner or later.
Honkai: Star Railis available now for PC and mobile devices. PS4 and PS5 versions are in development.
