Having a presence during the Gamescom 2024 Opening Night, HoYoverse attended with a range of new updates and content previews for three of their major games at the moment: open-world action-adventure Genshin Impact, sci-fi tactical RPG Honkai: Star Rail, and their newly released ARPG Zenless Zone Zero. These announcements included new playable characters, trailers, new console support and a new teaser for their upcoming crossover event with a long-running multimedia franchise.
Genshin Impact

The trailer concluded with the announcement that Genshin Impact will debut on Xbox Series X|S on 20 November 2024, with players able to add the game to their Wishlist now.
Honkai: Star Rail
For Honkai: Star Rail, we got an update trailer for Version 2.4, featuring Feixiao, a formidable figure from the Xianzhou Yaoqing. We also got a new video around the crossover with the anime Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] – with Archer appearing on the Astral Express.
Zenless Zone Zero
For Zenless Zone Zero, we also received a new trailer. The spotlight was on Jane Doe, an enigmatic agent with a lethal skill set. The trailer teased her true identity and upcoming missions, as well as a new area in the game, the desolate outskirts of New Eridu.
