Honkai (traditional Chinese: 崩壞; simplified Chinese: 崩坏; pinyin: Bēnghuài; Japanese: 崩壊; rōmaji: Hōkai; "Collapse / Deteriorate") is a video game franchise developed by miHoYo, published by miHoYo in mainland China and worldwide by Cognosphere, d/b/a HoYoverse. Initially led by Cai Haoyu, David Jiang took over as the series producer from 2017.[2][3][4]

The series originates with FlyMe2theMoon, a paid mobile game for iOS released in 2011,[5] which was developed by the five-person "miHoYo studio" startup team.[a] The first installment of Honkai series was Houkai Gakuen released in 2012. The series has seen several more games since, with the most recent main entry being 2023's Honkai: Star Rail.[9]

The Honkai series is set in a universe called the “Imaginary Tree” and follows the adventures of characters such as Kiana, Mei, and Bronya.[10][5] While the series features recurring characters such as Kiana, each installment has different backgrounds and character settings and can be considered as stories that take place in different worlds in the same universe without absolute connectivity. The series primarily revolves around the theme of "rebellion against the end and saving the world" and features "Honkai" disasters as the core setting.[5][10]
