Honkai Impact 3rd holds a special place in everyone's hearts due to the wide variety of emotions it has put the community through for over six years. While the HoYoverse title is a gacha game at its core with a niche fanbase, almost everyone in the industry has come to appreciate the impressive storytelling and cinematic cutscenes.

However, since all good things must come to an end at some point, now is the time for the first chapter of Honkai Impact 3rd and Kiana to bid farewell. HoYoverse released a special 45-minute long video, where several developers talked about their journey since the alpha phase, the game's first-ever launch, and the satisfaction they have in their jobs.

Although Honkai Impact 3rd is done with its first saga, HoYoverse will continue to update the game every month. Version 6.4 is just around the corner, with Susannah making her debut as a playable character.
