Honkai Star Rail enthusiasts now have a fresh, in-game link to surprise fellow players with a classic prank.
HoYoverse (formerly miHoYo) celebrated April Fool’s Day 2026 with a grand reveal. The creators of Honkai Star Rail unveiled their unique animated rendition of the iconic ‘rickroll’.
In a surprising performance, characters from the game covered the legendary song “Never Gonna Give You Up.” This time, it was Sparkle from HSR who took on the lead role, channeling Rick Astley’s iconic vocals.
While several Honkai Star Rail heroes joined the dance, it appeared that Blade’s moves failed to impress Sparkle.
