A new leak from Honkai Impact 3rd is teasing a potential upcoming crossover with Honkai: Star Rail, suggesting that Sparkle may be added to the game. While HoYoverse has seen overwhelming success with games like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, Honkai Impact 3rd has stood the test of time as one of the developer's longest-running games. HoYoverse first launched the RPG in 2016 and has continued to support the game ever since, often making massive updates to the game at different times throughout its life. Now, HoYoverse may be planning a major crossover to come.
Honkai Impact 3rd is no stranger to crossovers with other games and franchises, with HoYoverse often bringing its own games into the sci-fi action RPG. Honkai Impact 3rd featured a major collaboration with Genshin Impact in 2021, adding both Fischl and Keqing as playable characters. Honkai: Star Rail also includes several nods and allusions to Honkai Impact 3rd, with several characters receiving new versions in the 2023 RPG. However, one of Star Rail's characters may now be preparing to pay a visit to Honkai Impact 3rd.
Honkai Impact 3rd Leaks Honkai: Star Rail Crossover
A new leak from Honkai Impact 3rd shared by prominent HoYoverse leaker Dim is teasing Sparkle's potential addition to Honkai Impact 3rd. According to the leak, data discovered in Honkai Impact 3rd's 7.8 beta test has seen new assets and placeholder text added to the game referencing "Sparkle." The hidden data does not yet include an in-game model for Sparkle, but Dim reports the chances are "big" for Sparkle to either release or "make an appearance" in Honkai Impact 3rd's 7.8 update. Honkai Impact 3rd's Version 7.8 is currently expected to launch sometime in October.
Sparkle's addition to Honkai Impact 3rd's playable cast would see the introduction of one of Star Rail's most popular characters to the game. Sparkle made waves following her release in Honkai: Star Rail, quickly becoming one of the game's most powerful support characters. Sparkle played a major role in the main story of Star Rail's newest world of Penacony, with her wild and unhinged personality making her a fan-favorite. Sparkle is also currently featured on Star Rail's limited banner, rerunning alongside new character Jiaoqiu.
A potential new crossover for Honkai Impact 3rd would come as HoYoverse has seen plenty of recent success with its newer titles. HoYoverse recently welcomed the launch of the developer's newest game, officially debuting Zenless Zone Zero last month to fan and critical acclaim. The RPG's debut followed in the footsteps of Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, with Zenless Zone Zero surpassing 50 million downloads within just two days of its launch. The newest leaks from Honkai Impact 3rd suggest fans should have plenty to look forward to in the coming updates.
