Hype moments incoming as Honkai Star Rail leaks suggest a Jujutsu Kaisen-style movie adaptation for the game from Studio MAPPA.
Leaks suggest that HoYoverse's space-fiction RPG, Honkai: Star Rail, is getting a movie adaptation from none other than Studio MAPPA. This is the same studio that brought us hit titles like Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and Attack on Titan: Final Season.
Honkai Star Rail movie adaptation?
A movie adaptation is on the cards for Honkai Star Rail, according to leaks. The message circulating the community now had very sparse details and even included a disclaimer to not expect an official announcement anytime soon.
However, it does tell us that Studio MAPPA will be working on the animated film. Apart from the popular titles mentioned above, they also produced Kakegurui, Zankyou no Terror, Yuri! on Ice, Vinland Saga Season 2, and Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis and Virgin Soul in their decade-and-a-half run of making anime.
This is about the extent of information we have right now. We don't know which part of Honkai Star Rail will be adapted, but it will most likely include the origins of the Trailblazer.
Once again, don't expect anything official anytime soon. We first got news of Genshin Impact's anime adaptation back in 2022, and it has been radio silence since.
