Bristol is unlikely to be the main focus of a gaming information story. Not except they do one other Wallace & Gromit recreation, or one thing. So think about our shock when the information hit final week that Honkai: Star Rail, the flip based mostly gacha mega-hit from the identical steady because the unstoppable Genshin Impact, was doing a promotional meal cope with… Miss Millie’s. A fried hen chain that hardly exists outdoors of the town. Of the handful of franchises it has outdoors of the South West, solely two are collaborating within the promotion.
So, in case you’re fortunate sufficient to reside in Bristol, Wellington (close to Taunton), Eastbourne, or Southampton, you’ll be able to head over to Millie’s and order two “Astral Express Megabite Meals” to qualify for 2 holographic tickets that grant particular in-game objects, plus a particular promotional standee that’s about six inches excessive and options the sport’s chief characters, Dan Heng and March seventh, loitering in a generic quick meals store and consuming some Assorted Grub. We’re assuming they should hold it imprecise as a result of this identical materials has to work in Miss Millies, Dominos in France, and even Wendy’s in Japan.
Yes, Dominos and Wendy’s, these quick meals giants whose attain and market penetration make them a becoming match for one of many greatest F2P video games of all time. It’s additional baffling, then, that Miss Millies has managed to nab this promotion within the UK. An establishment in Bristol, however in all probability much less well-known than Chicken Cottage typically.
So, is it definitely worth the journey for these of you unlucky sufficient to not reside within the jewel of the South West? Well, the meals definitely isn’t. What you’ll get to your cash is a mid as hell hen burger, garbage hen store fries, and a dessert that’s principally a bath of college canteen ice scream. Is the merch value it? Uh, no. It’s a tiny, low-cost piece of printed plastic and a few merchandise codes printed on good paper. Unless your Honkai devotion is such that you have to have each piece of merch, it’s a bit underwhelming.
Having mentioned that, given how little official merch there really is for Honkai Star Rail, maybe a little bit of grease-stained landfill fodder from a municipal fried hen store is the perfect you’re gonna get. Go nuts.
Honkai: Star Rail is on the market to obtain free of charge on PC, Android, iOS, and PlayStation 5. Time To Feast! Astral Express Pit Stop is going down from October 14th to November 4th at collaborating Miss Millie’s eating places within the UK. You can view a listing of collaborating eateries in all areas together with extra particulars of the occasion on HoYoverse’s web site.
