How to sign-up for the second Closed Beta of Honkai: Star Rail?

Interested players can sign up for the second closed beta by visiting the Honkai: Star Rail official website or by clicking on the link provided in the tweet above. Players need to create a HoYoverse account if they don’t have one already and select the 'Enter Sign-up' option.

Players will then have to fill out a survey to register themselves for the beta test. At the end of the survey, players will have to provide their Discord username as they might also have to go through a sign-up interview, which will last for 20-30 minutes.

Players should make sure to fill out the survey carefully as they won't be able to modify the information once they have submitted the survey. Players can sign-up for the closed beta between the following dates:

Start Date: April 28, 2022

Similar to the first closed beta, the second closed beta will also have a limited number of participants. Candidates can participate free of charge, and any progress made by them in-game will be deleted after the beta.

Players should also keep in mind that the game is still under development and any content shown in the beta test does not represent the final quality of the product. There is a chance that many changes will be made to the game after the second beta test.
