Every year, a massive amount of fans gather for the annual HoYoFEST event that celebrated all HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Honkai Impact 3rd, etc. HoYoFEST is considered to be a cafe collaboration which means fans get to participate in several offline activities that occur in several cafes around South East Asia. HoYoFEST started in 2020 and this year, they plan to further enlarge it by introducing several online and offline challenges. Even though it is unfortunate that this event only occurs across Asia, players from other parts of the world are free to participate in online events that HoYoFEST presents.
