SINGAPORE, December 13, 2024 – Global entertainment brand HoYoverse today brings two applauded RPG titles, their latest release, Zenless Zone Zero, and ongoing Honkai: Star Rail, to the stage of Peacock Theater at the annual gaming celebration – The Game Awards. Apart from celebrating the global gaming industry’s achievements in 2024, the urban fantasy ARPG Zenless Zone Zero invites its most well-known superstar Astra Yao for her grand debut, presenting the audience with her enchanting performance. Meanwhile, the space fantasy RPG Honkai: Star Rail, gives players and fans a sneak peek at Amphoreus, the next stop of the Trailblazer’s intergalactic journey alongside a mysterious character, Castorice.
Zenless Zone Zero is HoYoverse’s latest release, an urban fantasy ARPG, in which contemporary civilization has been destroyed by the calamity known as Hollows.

During The Game Awards 2024, Zenless Zone Zero presented the global premier of New Eridu’s superstar, Astra Yao. As the brightest star adored by the citizens, she strolls down Sixth Street, shadowed by an enigmatic character, and reminisces outside Random Play over her glamourous red carpet showcase. Besides a fierce battle between members from Section Six and their formidable enemy, Sacrifice, the trailer also unveiled Astra’s graceful performance in the grand opera house, illuminated by her enchanting voice. While Astra concludes her spellbinding melody, a mysterious figure gives a faint smile, hinting at the story that will start a brand-new chapter for Zenless Zone Zero in 2025.
Since its official release in April 2023, Honkai: Star Rail, HoYoverse’s space fantasy RPG, has been crafting a symphony of interstellar wonder.
