The influence of miHoYo, now known as HoYoverse, is evident in the gaming industry, with their acclaimed title Honkai: Star Rail inspiring other developers. A clear example is Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra, which draws inspiration from Honkai: Star Rail's success.

Currently, Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra is running a pre-registration campaign, offering player rewards as key milestones are reached. A significant achievement was recently met when the game surpassed 500,000 pre-registrations, rewarding users with a five-star 'Madoka Kaname Kioku'.

In other news, the Honkai 3.0 update, released in January, introduced Star Rail players to Amphoreus, the fourth explorable world. This update is anticipated to be the most significant for Honkai: Star Rail yet, expected to draw in both new and returning players across various platforms.
