Nijisanji already previously collaborated with Honkai: Star Rail ahead of its release. Back in March 2023, Shu Yamino, Oliver Evans, and Finana Ryugu streamed the final beta test version of the game, sharing their experiences while playing through a portion of the story.

Lately, the Japanese and English branches of Nijisanji have been working together on various projects. Most notably, a talk show called “We are Nijisanji” featuring talents from both branches is currently airing every Tuesday throughout April 2023.

Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on PCs and mobile devices, with a future release planned for the PS4 and PS5. The NijiRail streaming event will be running between April 26, 2023 and May 19, 2023.
