Developer Hoyoverse is the subsidiary developer of miHoYo that created Genshin Impact,and the team participated in Summer Game Fest to showcase two new titles. One game will take place in a futuristic city and offers combat similar to Genshin Impact, while Honkai: Star Rail features a science fiction setting, and battles unfold in a drastically different way from the popular action roleplaying game.
Hoyoverse released the debut trailer for Honkai: Star Rail at Summer Game Fest, which primarily highlights the sci-fi setting for the strategy roleplaying game. Although Honkai: Star Rail seemingly features currently unknown characters, some of them resemble memorable Genshin Impact heroes, like Shikanoin Heizou, Halfdan, Yae Miko, and Zhongli. Because the new Hoyoverse game is a strategy RPG, it's likely that it will differ significantly from Genshin Impact despite any visual similarities displayed in the initial trailer.
