HSR x HI3 Collab Announces Sparkle’s Debut in Honkai Impact 3rd
Sep. 19, 2024Honkai Star Rail x Honkai Impact 3rd collab announcement recently caused mayhem in the Honkai community. Honkai Star Rail’s universe is connected to Honkai Impact 3rd’s universe, with Welt (and Otto) being the only revealed characters that jumped from HI3’s universe to HSR. Honkai Star Rail hasmany characters that share the same identityas HI3’s characters but from a different universe, known as EXPYs or character exports, one example beingAcheron and Raiden Mei. However, HI3 hasn’t released or featured any HSR-specific characters in their game, until now. A new video has been released on HI3’s YouTube account, giving slight details about the upcoming HSR x HI3 collab. The best part about the video wasSparkle’s debut announcement in Honkai Impact 3rd version 7.9.
Sparkle’s Debut in Honkai Impact 3rd
Sparkle can act as a bridge for both worldsas revealed in the trailer, it appears that Sparkle from HSR will be making her debut and not an EXPY character. This means that Sparkle might be the only character after Welt (and Otto) to jump between the two universes.
We currently don’t know whether Sparkle is going to be a playable characterin HI3 version 7.9 or not, but there is a good chance for it to happen. So far, it only appears that she will only appear in the story and not as playable. Otherwise, I don’t think they would have used the word “Debut” to describe her appearance. But I can be wrong and Sparkle may become playable in HI3 in version 7.9.
However, I am more excited for what it means for the future of both games. Characters like Kiana Kasvana are loved dearly in the community and having her move to the HSR universe would be amazing. Tell us your opinion on the collab between both these Hoyoverse juggernauts.
