The HoYoverse Multiverse Unveiled
It has been officially confirmed by HoYoverse that the worlds of Honkai: Star Rail, Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd are all part of a larger multiverse known as the Imaginary Tree. This concept was first introduced in Honkai Impact 3rd, where the Imaginary Tree was depicted as a physical location. In Honkai: Star Rail, the tree is regarded as a theory. The Imaginary Tree is said to have originated from the “Sea of Quanta,” an endless expanse beyond comprehension.
To simplify this complex idea, the Imaginary Tree can be compared to a tree with individual leaves representing separate worlds. Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd are just two of these leaves. Notably, the various bubble universes introduced in Honkai: Star Rail, such as Jarilo-VI and Xianzhou Luofu, exist within the same leaf rather than being independent leaves themselves.
The Possibility of Crossover Events
Given the interconnectedness of the Imaginary Tree, it is highly likely that HoYoverse will introduce crossover events between Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. Imagine the humorous interactions between the Astral Express conductor Pom-Pom and the mischievous Paimon from Genshin Impact. While such crossovers have not been confirmed, there are indications that characters from Genshin Impact might have a closer connection to the space RPG than initially assumed.
In Genshin Impact, the story begins with the Traveler landing in the world of Teyvat after a confrontation with the Unknown God on another realm. This could suggest that the Traveler actually fell from the world of Honkai: Star Rail. The Traveler possesses extraordinary and enigmatic powers that might resonate more with the paths in Honkai: Star Rail than with the Archons of Teyvat. The Unknown God, rumored to be the ruler of Celestia, has the ability to manipulate realities and separate universes.
Notably, Honkai: Star Rail already features a character, Welt Yang, who hails from another universe. Welt Yang is a playable crew member of the Astral Express, originating from the universe of Honkai Impact 3rd. Though it remains uncertain how Yang ended up in Honkai: Star Rail, he is actively seeking a way to return to his own universe. This quest might involve the Unknown God or similar forces meddling with the fabric of reality.
Future Intersections and Updates
While speculation about the potential intersection of these two games abounds, it is important to acknowledge that Honkai: Star Rail is still relatively new, and concrete details about crossovers are scarce. Fans eagerly anticipate the expansion of the HoYoverse and the potential for exciting collaborations between these beloved games. Only time will tell how the paths of Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail will intertwine within the vast expanse of the Imaginary Tree.
