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

HoYoverse's influence is evident in the development of Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra, which draws clear inspiration from the popular Honkai: Star Rail. Magia Exedra is currently running a pre-registration campaign offering rewards based on milestone achievements. The recent achievement of 500,000 pre-registrations unlocked a five-star Madoka Kaname Kioku for players.

Meanwhile, Honkai: Star Rail's January 3.0 update introduced Amphoreus, the fourth explorable world, generating significant excitement. Version 3.0 is anticipated as the game's largest update yet, expected to draw in both new and returning players across all platforms. Further bolstering this excitement, HoYoverse announced a physical release date for the PlayStation version.
