A Japanese Honkai: Star Rail aggregator blog called Celestia Sokuho has gone private and issued a public apology after admitting to sharing leaked and unreleased content from the game.
Celestia Sokuho published a statement apologizing directly to COGNOSPHERE, the company behind the HoYoverse brand, for its handling of leaked game content. In the apology, the blog acknowledged that it had “not only breached the company’s Terms of Use, but also disturbed the future promotion plans and the great effort the production team had poured into the game, as well as hindered the healthy development of the fan community.” Following the announcement, the website was made private and all related leaked content appears to have been removed.
Celestia Sokuho also pledged to completely remove all past leaks and committed to not obtaining, publishing, or spreading any of HoYoverse’s unreleased content going forward. While no official reason has been confirmed for the blog’s shutdown, it is presumed that HoYoverse took legal action against the website, leading to the public apology and content removal. As of now, it remains unclear if Celestia Sokuho plans to return, but with its social media accounts set to be deleted soon, this effectively marks the end of the blog.
This situation fits into a much larger and ongoing pattern of HoYoverse taking firm action against leakers. In a previous case, miHoYo sued three individuals who operated the HomDGCat Wiki, a fan wiki for Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, which led to their arrest and the shutdown of the site. The company also sued a separate blogger for around $70,000 USD for repeatedly sharing unpublished information about the same games. In June 2025, HoYoverse filed a lawsuit against a California man who livestreamed Honkai: Star Rail on Discord and leaked a new character months before its scheduled release, seeking over $150,000 USD in damages.
The company’s anti-leak efforts go well beyond individual cases. In 2025 alone, HoYoverse cooperated with police in 22 criminal investigations and filed lawsuits against 2,388 individuals, recovering over $5.38 million in damages and settlement fees. The shutdown of Celestia Sokuho signals that HoYoverse’s crackdown is not limited to those who directly obtain and distribute leaked material, but also extends to those who help spread it.
