Honkai: Star Rail is all set to release on April 26, bringing brand new mechanics into play, new characters, enemies, and more. The first update that will be available will be patch 1.0, called "The Rail Unto the Stars," and players can already pre-register for it to earn some free rewards like Star Rail Pass ×20 and the 4-star character Serval (Erudition: Lightning) ×1.
