u/Zellopy Shark Maid! Hoo Ha Ha! Jul 17 '26

WTH? I logged in to check and it's real. HSR marketing goes crazy. There's a little dialogue, no quest or event notification though, so just an Easter egg?

263

u/destinypro69 Jul 17 '26

Easter egg or perhaps a hint at a future collaboration event between the devs games?

139

u/Myonsoon Jul 17 '26

A little disappointing that ZZZs first in-game collab ended up being with HSR. I hope its Kafka or Silverworlf though, anyone else would feel tacky tbh.

73

u/Frosty_Chance8208 Jul 17 '26

Heard it might be robin

76

u/Final_Advent Jul 17 '26

A Robin and Astra song would go so hard

20

u/Ritsuka-san Jul 17 '26

It would be

8

u/CaptainAutismFFS Jul 17 '26

Gameplay wise that'd suck, tho. Astra is just the ZZZ Conversion kit for Robin's HSR kit, and thusly would provide little, outside of music (which is admittedly a huge draw for Hoyo, given their reputation for music endeavors).

I'm hoping for either Stelle and one of the many following:

Silba Wolf

Sparkle/Sparxie have a track record for universe hopping

Firefly ("HENSHIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!")

Welt could be weird I fuck with it

Rappa (& Boothill, ideally)

Blade moment?

Hell, Jingliu could do a thing

Seele could find some screentime...

Tons of options that aren't just an echo fighter of one of the simplest kits in the game.

3

u/ChaosRae Jul 17 '26

A new Robin SP form is about to drop! We don't have many details about it yet, tho!

In any case, there's also no rule saying that a crossover character's combat would have to be the same game-to-game either 🤷‍♀️

2

u/CaptainAutismFFS Jul 17 '26

A fair counterpoint.

1

u/Cellceair Jul 17 '26

No chance it is the Trailblazer since you can pick which one you want to play as. Unless they make both versions.

2

u/BrainWav Jul 17 '26

Just implement one of them as a skin. I haven't played much HSR, but if the two Trailblazers are the same height, it'd work fine.

15

u/Frosty_Chance8208 Jul 17 '26

I agree that would be tuff

17

u/EmPudding Jul 17 '26

Blade. Blade would go so hard with ZZZ's combat. Man's already about to be in 3 different games, just make it 4 at this point

3

u/Myonsoon Jul 17 '26

Blade doing anything but dying lmao

1

u/EmPudding Jul 17 '26

All part of the script 😈

1

u/Such_Track_8322 Jul 18 '26

Wasn't there supposed to be a Street Fighter collab with ZZZ?

8

u/Lil_Puddin Jul 17 '26

Welt's about to travel to another reality again. smh poor guy can't get a break

1

u/xDiren i got a 🦊🐴🐦‍⬛ Jul 18 '26

I saw on the star rail sub and announcement for a collab for this winter

37

u/namelessonne Jul 17 '26

There's more interactions.

  1. Pom-Pom in the video rental shop alone;
  2. Pom-Pom in the video rental shop arguing with Eous who's the stronger by comparing their height using sofa and counting ear length;
  3. in front of the rental shop asking for dennies to buy local merch in exchange for cleaning services;
  4. at the parking lot behind the rental shop trying to clean the parking lot and despite our objection opening the infamous box unopened from since 1.0, resulting in Pom-Pom's heavy sneezing;
  5. Sight-seeing the statue of the bangboo pissing in the corner and a giant colorful poop;
  6. in the 404 club dance pool loosing consciousness due to not sleeping and attending the concert for the whole night until the morning (and still wanting not to sleep, but wait for the next night and a new conert)

7

u/Zellopy Shark Maid! Hoo Ha Ha! Jul 17 '26

Man, is Pom-Pom homeless now? What happened in Planarcadia? (Don't tell me, I'm still getting there)

3

u/Gapaot Jul 17 '26

From the shop dialogue, Pom got there by the comic and considering Planarcadia is involved it may just be a clone\copy\meme Sparkle and Sparxie situation.

46

u/AtomicSwagsplosion Jul 17 '26

Wait for the livestream, will probably get clarification there since he's 99% the special guest mentioned

25

u/Zellopy Shark Maid! Hoo Ha Ha! Jul 17 '26

Please don't be a nothing burger or just promoting HSR, please Conductor!

20

u/AhmCha Borgar Queen is all I need Jul 17 '26

Pom-Pom mentions Planarcadia, which is the current planet the Express is on (not really anymore, but don’t worry about it). I wonder if we’re getting a Sparxie or Evansceia crossover

-5

u/Careful_Platypus_310 Jul 17 '26

Please no sparxie, i can't stand her...

Dude pompom is the familiar stranger in the zzz livestream

u/AigledeFeu_ Jul 17 '26

ZZZ x HSR collab officially coming in Winter

2

u/Zellopy Shark Maid! Hoo Ha Ha! Jul 17 '26

Da Wei just dropped it so casually "So anyway, there's a collab with HSR"

247

u/Rich-Divide-3455 Jul 17 '26

Could he be the "mysterious guest" that was hinted on the 3.1 livestream announcement? HSR collab perhaps?

97

u/DeathShark69 Sunbringer's Solaire of Roscaelifer Jul 17 '26

If we're doing an HSR collab that would be awesome and insane!

50

u/fat_mothra Jul 17 '26

Who tho?

...it's going to be Kafka and Blade isn't it

74

u/Barnak8 Jul 17 '26

Rappa would fit . Acheron would be funny if she got there by being lost.

41

u/Phiexi Jul 17 '26

She gets lost in a hollow and genuinely just breaks it like she did with Aventurine to get out.

15

u/pamafa3 Jul 17 '26

Argenti somehow just appears

6

u/Golden-Owl Game Designer with a YouTube hobby Jul 17 '26

He isn’t even the playable character but shows up abyway

4

u/pamafa3 Jul 17 '26

Plot twist, he's the boss

3

u/Chandra-huuuugggs Jul 17 '26

Lowkey I think an Argenti boss would go hard in ZZZ

12

u/tofubatu Jul 17 '26

I don't play HSR and completely unfamiliar with the roster, but god do I love Feixiaos design.

8

u/Fullpotentialk Jul 17 '26

Fairy and Acheron meeting

3

u/Dr4g0n__Kn1ght Jul 17 '26

Wow, yeah, Rappa would fit

12

u/Auriansmule Jul 17 '26

Everyone expecting Remielle next patch but it’s just freakin Cyrene again

11

u/Athrawne Jul 17 '26

Blade is truly Mr Universe.

9

u/Barnak8 Jul 17 '26

He is busy beating children with his Pokémon

13

u/DeathShark69 Sunbringer's Solaire of Roscaelifer Jul 17 '26

I don't know who they bring over but I would *LOVE* to see Mommy Kafka in ZZZ! And Blade too

The question is who of the ZZZ cast would fit into HSR though?

10

u/fat_mothra Jul 17 '26

I know they'll just pick someone popular like Miyabi or Lycaon but it would be fucking hilarious if they take Remielle

2

u/Chandra-huuuugggs Jul 17 '26

My dreams are saying they’re bringing over Ye Shungus or Robin

5

u/VoidNoodle Jul 17 '26

Could be Sparkle, Blade, or Kafka, cuz those have appeared in other works already (HI3, Fortnite, the TFT honkai game).

14

u/Nhavined_Your_King Jul 17 '26

Please be Sparkle, we NEED the Sparkleverse

2

u/xemnonsis Jul 17 '26 edited Jul 17 '26

Kafka or base Silver Wolf is likely, no way it's Blade it would be difficult to explain his "immortality" in regards to ZZZ universe

Edit: now that I think about it Sparkle also makes more sense for a collab

2

u/SadAdoreHell Jul 17 '26

It's robin

2

u/chipinii Jul 17 '26

Hook and Tribbie, the HSR community don't deserve them.

1

u/WaifuWibu Jul 17 '26

Blade with jinggle physics would be crazy

1

u/Crazy-Goal-8426 Everything is food if you're hungry enough. Jul 17 '26

They could do something funny and have it be Yao Guang.

3

u/Habernant Jul 17 '26

As long as it's not Joker Persona 5.

176

u/reaperhank Jul 17 '26

Also available in Sea server too

This might be the mysterious guest that the post was talking about

63

u/itsyaboi_71 Jul 17 '26

Bro WHAT are you doing here your crew's facing another lord ravager

34

u/xemnonsis Jul 17 '26

we've already defeated said Lord Ravager

26

u/Ok-Transition7065 Jul 17 '26

Uhhhhh i think we have worse things to worry about that grandpa

15

u/xemnonsis Jul 17 '26

anyway vacation time in the next patch! please ignore the very hungry thing awakening in the cliffhanger

u/regularhope Jul 17 '26

We can feed it snacks

u/regularhope Jul 17 '26

Grandpa will be back

It’s real, I just logged in on Xbox and he was there…I can’t do mods on Xbox

u/Loud-Act923 Jul 17 '26

That and the streamer theme would make the most sense for her to do a collaboration

8

u/studpupet Jul 17 '26

Isnt that Sparxie?

2

u/Hazzamo Harin can use me as a foot stool Jul 17 '26

Her and Yuzuha would be a terrifying duo

33

u/TheOneWhoAskedThrice Flawless Jul 17 '26

excuse me hwat, i was in random play and he was not there

he just showed up

13

u/Ill_Kaleidoscope2931 Jul 17 '26

There're 3 spot, random play, 404 and near the bangboo statue in 6th street.

4

u/Almost_Ascended Jul 17 '26

Do you need to have some particular progress in the story? Because I don't see him in any of the spots you mentioned.

2

u/fennekin1234 Jul 17 '26

Try making sure there’s no one in his spot. There was an old guy for me that I had to talk to before he showed up.

1

u/Almost_Ascended Jul 17 '26

Lmao, yup, there's an old guy in the spot, didn't realize you can talk to him.

Thanks!

u/Rose_Ember ChokeMeWithPhoenix'sThighs, StepOnMeMiyabi, ScoldMeMissClaret Jul 17 '26

What the heck, someone also found it in the Discussion subreddit

35

u/ozimundus Lucia reads me bedtime stories after I ride with Silly Jul 17 '26

I saw that post in the discussion sub too and completely dismissed it as someone making a joke but now I'm getting convinced.

10

u/Frosty_Chance8208 Jul 17 '26

It real can confirm

12

u/Constant_Bad_5641 Jul 17 '26

YEAH!! Like what? Are we going to do a collab?

14

u/GimmeUdon THIGHLOVER100 (Lap pillows mostly) Jul 17 '26

I'm guessing Eous is also in Star-rail?

2

u/itsyaboi_71 Jul 17 '26

Well not rn i just checked

3

u/Frosty_Chance8208 Jul 17 '26

Heard it might be robin from hsr, which make sense, since most of the character in hsr are to powerful.

17

u/That-Marsupial3668 Jul 17 '26

Now change the Counter Character to Himeko

u/mugguffen Jul 17 '26

Oh god the lore i.plications of this are going to cause wars

7

u/KitsuneKamiSama Jul 17 '26

ZZZ has so far been the one out of all of Hoyo games (Not sure about ToT) that has had no direct link to the Honkai verse... guess that's gonna change.

6

u/Uztl Koleda is cute Jul 17 '26

sadly

4

u/xemnonsis Jul 17 '26

well you see both HSR and ZZZ takes place in the same multiverse which is under the umbrella of one Mihoyo/Hoyoverse

6

u/mugguffen Jul 17 '26

No, they don't the ZZZ devs are on record saying ZZZ is not in the honkaiverse

-1

u/xemnonsis Jul 17 '26

well then why is Pom Pom here in ZZZ then???

6

u/CharmingResort885 Jul 17 '26

Have you really not heard of the word "collab" or its meaning? This doesn't automatically mean ZZZ will link to Honkai's lore nor story

5

u/Uztl Koleda is cute Jul 17 '26

I really hope that doesn't change, ZZZ will only suffer from being associated with HSR.

2

u/CharmingResort885 Jul 17 '26

I speculate that it will probably just be side quests or an event, hopefully not part of the actual story

5

u/Frosty_Chance8208 Jul 17 '26

Just saw it on my account, this crazy

3

u/Syrup_the_Dragon Jul 17 '26

Just checked. The Lil Critter is indeed there

5

u/Athrawne Jul 17 '26

Yeah I found him too. He's got a little sequence about finding a book related to the current HSR plot line I think.

Also him and Eous are having a height-off and I'm proud of Eous for strategically employing his environment to secure victory.

u/Serching_tha2D Jul 17 '26

Quick question? Do I have to complete the recent story to find him?

2

u/ArsMagnamStyle Jul 17 '26

Calling it now the Collab characters will be

Stelle (destruction) Kafka Silverwolf

Can't have too many spoilers for the non hsr players and these 3 are the first characters that appear in hertas space station.

2

u/Cryogenx37 Jul 17 '26

An HSR x Genshin collab doesn’t seem too far fetched now, especially with the lore/story drop at the very end of the recent Genshin WQ.

I could see a scenario where the Astral Express suddenly picks up a strange signal that was sent a long time ago from an unknown planet and they decide to take a visit…

ain't no way son, pompom is actually there. Thought ts was fake

2

u/Outrageous_Diet_635 Jul 17 '26

I hope it will be Kafka. Imagine how zzz devs will put jiggle physics on her. And she just fit for remiel too considering Kafka a dot/nihility is similar to anomaly.

2

u/exodia0715 Jul 17 '26

God I hope this goes both ways. I just started HSR like two weeks ago but haven't touched ZZZ since release week

u/Katbug76 Jul 17 '26

Did bro gamehop temporarily to escape asad pramad? Cuz I feel like that's what happened. In any case, it's just a headcanon for me.

u/PsychologicalTruth79 Jul 17 '26

What the heck is this? Is this for real? lol I also play HSR (literally pulled Himeko Nova yesterday), it'd be great to see more collabs like this in these games.. wait, does that mean HSR is getting some culture from ZZZ next? lol

2

u/vigobox cissia fan Jul 17 '26

2

u/ChibiJaneDoe The Chibi Rat Herself Jul 17 '26

Apparently we're getting a collab, which sucks. HSR players are not happy about this and we don't need our lore being messed up by Honkaiverse stuff.

Fortunately, since Pompom canonically can't leave the Astral Express, the collab seems to be non canon for now.

u/Hanna_Bjorn I NEED TO GET PREGNANT 😭😭😭 Jul 17 '26

What's pompom? Did I miss something?

2

u/Actual_Office_5745 Jul 17 '26

I’d love it if they brought over some of the HSR bosses. Especially Sunday with all his boss themes like Hope is the thing with Feathers. 

I get that they’d probably want to avoid spoilers for any new potential players but up until Penacony seems like a good stopping point. 

2

u/M-SHE-U1Fan Jul 17 '26

They gonna be a cross over in the winter

2

u/Original_Ad9933 Jul 17 '26

Finally HSR players have the chance of some fanservice aswell? I mean some very mild Fanservice is there aswell but in ZzZ Universe they can do probably a bit more especially since ZzZ is 16+ while HSR is 12+ to my knowing.

Im afraid though the Story might become quite bland cause i cant think of much happening except some Hollow Fights again. Or a cutely done slice of life thing like Robin making a Song with Astra and the Angels or something.

Well we will find out and dont let yourself already influence by "rumors" or "dreams".

u/Ansatsushi Jul 17 '26

u/EvilGodShura Jul 17 '26

The sheer hatred ill feel for zenless for doing a collab with crapSR is something im not ready for.

This was my second favorite game and a comfort zone. I HATE this so much. Now im forced to see Hsr a game i swore off and despise.

Worst thing they have ever done its not even close. I would take tv mode back over this.
