Today (October 28, 2025), HoYoverse has released the “Journey Across a Thousand Stars” PV titled “Beyond the Story: Act VIII for its space fantasy RPG Honkai: Star Rail (PC/PS5/iOS/Android).
This PV portrays the viewpoint of a star-hunter, who is not directly involved in Onparos’s story but observes it from a detached, spectator’s standpoint.
Silver Wolf (CV: Nagami Tomori), watching over Hitoru (CV: Kusakawa Tomori) who appears distressed, checks with Kafka (CV: Ito Shizuka) if assistance is needed. However, Kafka replies that they are merely spectators—watching as the Star-Rail Train moves toward its correct path and heads into battle against the Iron Tomb.
They discuss various possible outcomes, including alternate timelines that tore apart entire galaxies—but fortunately, fate has settled onto a correct course, leaving only two possibilities remaining.
The narrative unfolds in reflection of events on Onparos. It evokes a sense of farewell as it emphasizes that loss is unavoidable along the path of exploration—this being one possible outcome.
The other possibility, according to Silver Wolf, is “something more captivating and cruel.” The image of Kyrene (CV: Inoue Marina), looking sorrowful while standing amidst flames, speaking something to the Trailblazers, also draws attention.
Yet in the end, a calm-faced Kyrene appears and speaks directly to the Trailblazers:

Long ago, a woman told the protagonist: “Your choices ahead will split fate into two paths.”
Now, the end of ?? is drawing near—but the chance to choose remains… pic.twitter.com/m01nOkDJfT
