HoYoverse’s newest role-playing game Honkai: Star Rail features the Astral Express – a mega train that is used to travel through the stars. It was invented by the Aeon of Trailblaze, Akivili. In Honkai: Star Rail, gamers play as one of the Trailblazers and travel the stars.
The Astral Express Crew, a subgroup of The Nameless, travels through different worlds and helps solve the Stellaron crisis. Stellarons are considered to be seeds of disaster as they bring great catastrophes and destroy any worlds they tether to. Honkai: Star Rail has brought with it multiple worlds for players to explore and conquer.
Worlds in Honkai: Star Rail
The Astral Express has currently been to three worlds in Honkai: Star Rail
- Herta Space Station
- Jarilo-VI
- The Xianzhou Luofu
Herta Space Station
The first world that can be accessed upon launching the game is the Herta Space Station – founded by Herta, a member of The Genius Society. While it isn’t a planet, this place is where the game starts, with the main character being “born” by Kafka shoving a Stellaron deep inside its chest. The space station is home to Herta, Asta, and Arlan – two researchers on her team. It harbors the “Simulated Universe” as well which is filled with enemies, treasures, and missions to discover.
It comprises four zones for players to explore before getting aboard the Astral Express.
- Master Control Zone
- Base Zone
- Supply Zone
- Storage Zone
Jarilo-VI
The first actual World visited by the Astral Express is an isolated planet Jarilo-VI, that frosted over due to the Eternal Freeze caused by the Stellaron. Players can meet Bronya – the next in line to be the Supreme Guardian of Belobog. Belobog is a safe haven that offers survivors shelter from the Freeze. The city is divided into two regions: The Overworld and The Underworld.
It comprises ten zones that can be explored after resolving the Stellaron crisis.
- Administrative District
- Backwater Pass
- Corridor of Fading Echoes
- Everwinter Hill
- Outlying Snow Plains
- Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone
- Boulder Town
- Great Mine
- Rivet Town
- Robot Settlement
The Xianzhou Luofu
The Xianzhou Luofu is the third accessible World in Honkai: Star Rail. It is essentially a flagship, owned by the Xianzhou Alliance. The ship is big enough to be a planet, with its own population and culture. It sails through the stars with one goal: to eradicate the Denizens of Abundance. Players encounter Jing Yuan, General of the Cloud Knights, who commands the ship.
The Xianzhou Luofu currently includes nine zones:
- Central Starskill Haven
- Cloudford
- Stargazer Navalia
- Exalting Sanctum
- Divination Commission
- Artisanship Commission
- Alchemy Commission
- Scalegorge Waterscape
- Aurum Alley
Honkai: Star Rail is available now for Android, iOS, and PC. A PlayStation 5 version launches in Q4 2023.
