Honkai Star Rail has plenty of unique locations.

No, Honkai Star Rail is not open world. While the game features expansive locations, the Herta Space Station and other areas are not part of a seamless open world experience. Instead, players will need to load into each area when playing through the story.

This will obviously come as a disappointment to many Genshin Impact players, who are used to journeying through Teyvat without having to load into different locations. However, each Honkai Star Rail map is fairly large, and the developers could make significant changes before the game releases.

Quite how expansive the world of Honkai Star Rail will remain to be seen, but for now, that’s everything you need to know. In the meantime, be sure to check out our Honkai Star Rail hub:
