A recent leak has revealed that Honkai: Star Rail, the popular RPG from HoYoverse, could soon see a physical release.

The physical version, known as the “Trailblazer Edition,” is rumored to be released exclusively for PlayStation 5, bringing new excitement to fans of the game.

The Trailblazer Edition is expected to offer both physical and digital copies of the game, alongside additional goodies such as holographic character cards, keychains, and postcards.

This would be a treat for players who enjoy collecting physical items alongside their gaming experience. The edition is said to retail for $39.99 and distributed by PM Studios.

While there is no confirmed release date, the leak suggests a potential drop in Fall 2024 or Winter 2025, coinciding with the release of Version 3.0 of the game. This timing would make sense as new content and updates often generate renewed interest in a game, making it an ideal moment for a physical release.

Physical Release for PS5

At the moment, the physical release appears to be exclusive to PlayStation 5. There has been no information on whether it will be available for Xbox or other platforms.

PlayStation users, however, can look forward to a complete package with this special edition, especially those who prefer physical games over digital downloads.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the rumored physical release of Honkai: Star Rail through the Trailblazer Edition has sparked excitement among fans, especially with the exclusive PlayStation 5 content and collectible items.
