"Honkai Star Rail's Madoka-Inspired Game Draws 500k Players Pre-Launch"

The gaming industry continues to showcase the influence of miHoYo, now known as HoYoverse, with other developers drawing inspiration from their acclaimed titles. A prime example is Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra, which echoes the design and mechanics of Honkai: Star Rail. This connection is not only evident in gameplay but also in the strategic marketing approach.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra is currently engaging fans with a pre-registration campaign, offering enticing player rewards as it hits key milestones. The campaign recently celebrated reaching 500,000 pre-registrations, unlocking the coveted five-star character, ‘Madoka Kaname Kioku’, for all participants. This achievement underscores the community's excitement and the game's growing popularity.

On the other hand, Honkai: Star Rail continues to evolve with significant updates. The release of the Honkai 3.0 update in January introduced players to Amphoreus, the fourth explorable world, adding fresh content and challenges. Fans are buzzing with anticipation for what is touted to be the largest update yet, Version 3.0. This patch is expected to draw in both new and returning players across various platforms, promising a substantial expansion to the game's universe.

Adding to the excitement, HoYoverse has delighted PlayStation gamers by confirming the physical retail release of Honkai: Star Rail. The Honkai: Trailblazer Edition for PS5 is packed with exclusive content, including:

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