It should be noted that the bubble universes introduced in Honkai: Star Rail, such as Jarilo-VI and Xianzhou Luofu, are actually worlds that exist in the same leaf and are not leaves of their own. Each individual leaf is said to be an independent world of its own, with Genshin Impact being one leaf and Honkai Impact 3rd acting as another. Regardless, the Imaginary Tree is said to have emerged from "an endless Sea of unfathomable depths and boundaries," which is a reference to the Sea of Quanta.Įxactly what the Imaginary Tree is can be confusing to grasp, but it can be simplified by focusing on the leaves from the tree.

While it's very much a physical place in the first game, Honkai: Star Rail has only recognized the tree as a theory so far. The closed beta was only a small glimpse into what Honkai: Star Rail will fully offer, which may well be an experience separate from Genshin Impact's charms.Ĭheck out Honkai: Star Rail Q&A with HoYoverse, from combat plans, gacha system, and more to learn exclusive details on the game's upcoming release.It's been confirmed that the worlds within Honkai: Star Rail, Genshin Impact, and Honkai Impact 3rd are all a part of something called the Imaginary Tree, which was first featured in Honkai Impact 3rd. Each game offers a completely different-but equally immersive-story, unique combat systems, and a lovable cast of characters that we can't wait to meet again. Ultimately, while there are some copy-pasted ideas between Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, the experience of playing both games is not the same. For instance, in a quest where Hook attempts to sell at an auction, players can choose to immediately start the auction or increase their chances of earning by helping a potential bidder. Apart from more engaging writing, Honkai: Star Rail's dialogue doesn't rely on the illusion of choice, as some choices genuinely impact the course of the story. The Trailblazer also has a more interesting personality (and more voice lines!) than the Traveler, whose dialogue options have been met with mixed reactions from the Genshin Impact community.
