The Astral Express Tour is going global in the build-up to the release of Honkai: Star Rail.
Honkai: Star Rail is upon us and with it comes the latest MiYoHo release campaign. The Astral Express Global Tour will schedule events around the world to celebrate the release of the latest game from the developer.
Most of the events in the special event tour will be advertisements or things to view, with QR codes and photos allowing for unlocks in-game. Others will encourage participation and some may even include competitions of some sort.
Rewards will vary from event to event. These events will usually hand out 50 Stellar Jades or a Limited Express Ticket. Some of the events even promise the visit of secret special guests.
MiHoYo are familiar with running these large-scale event tours with several happening in the lifetime of Genshin Impact, their previous game.
Here is the full schedule of events that will be part of the Astral Express Global Tour, note that most of these are just unique advertisements to see, not in-person activations:
