HYTE's launch of the Y70 Silver Wolf PC case, a collaboration with Honkai: Star Rail, brings the in-game hacker character Silver Wolf to your desk with distinctive design elements. Unveiled at Micro Center in Tustin, CA, the case features bold artwork of the character, lavender accents, and a sleek aesthetic that caters to fans and PC builders alike. During an interview with TechPowerUp, Ish from HYTE noted the seamless collaboration with HoYoverse, explaining, "As fans ourselves, we're inspired by the anime subculture and distinct art style of Honkai: Star Rail. Silver Wolf was a natural choice given her gamer and hacker persona, resonating strongly with our audience." The Y70 was chosen for this collab due to its full-size ATX form factor, providing ample space for hardware and extensive design elements.

Looking forward, HYTE has a number of things planned, "We have more collaborations planned for 2025, with exciting new products set to debut at CES." Some of those products were on display at the event, including the upcoming Y70 Touch Infinite, Silver Wolf keycaps for their Keeb TKL RGB keyboard, and their magnetic USB hub. The Y70 Silver Wolf case bundle, priced at $299, is available at major retailers including Micro Center and Canada Computers and directly from HYTE. The complete RDY Y70 Silver Wolf Edition system should be available from iBUYPOWER.com sometime in November.



Check out the TechPowerUp Review of the HYTE Y70 here.
The Full Interview with Ish from HYTE and Steven from iBUYPOWER is below.

TechPowerUp: This is TechPowerUp and we are interviewing with Ish from HYTE and Steven from iBUYPOWER. You're launching the new Y70 Silver Wolf case. What can you say about that?

iBUYPOWER - Steven: We are here for the launch of the Y70 Silver Wolf case at Micro Center. We're showcasing not only the Y70 case, which has the character Silver Wolf, adorned not only on the front and side panels, but also with the lavender accents. We're thrilled to be working with Micro Center on hosting this big activation where we're selling the case as well as the RDY PCs at Micro Center.

TechPowerUp: Awesome! For HYTE, working with such a big game, how does this process start? How does the idea come to come to pass? And why did you choose the Y70?

HYTE - Ish: We have a fantastic relationship with HoYoverse and frequently collaborate on projects, fulfilling one of our dream goals at HYTE and iBUYPOWER: to work with top-tier game publishers across their exciting game IPs. As fans ourselves, we're not only passionate about the anime subculture but also deeply inspired by the distinct art style in Honkai: Star Rail. The collaboration with the Silver Wolf character was a natural choice, given her iconic gamer and hacker persona, which resonates strongly with our audience. Either HoYoverse approaches us with ideas for new cases when they're launching a patch or new character, or our team—many of whom are big fans—takes the initiative, saying, "We'd love to create something special for you, a unique package for the fans and ourselves." This typically kicks off the ideation process, leading to a lot of back and forth on graphic designs and revisions to ensure everything meets our high-quality standards. We couldn't be more thrilled to have such an incredibly collaborative partner in HoYoverse.



TechPowerUp: For this particular project, why did you choose the Y70?

HYTE - Ish: For the Y70 specifically, we wanted to make sure people who buy these collab series products and bundles have the best experience. With Y70 you get the full-size ATX chassis, plenty of room to build with whatever components you want in there, and it also gives us the most space to work with in terms of graphical assets and design. That's specifically why we chose Y70 for this.

TechPowerUp: That makes sense. As somebody who has built in the HYTE Revolt 3, I'm a big fan of small-form factor cases. Is there any news of future collabs or you partnering with someone on some of your smaller cases?

HYTE - Ish: We could potentially see that. It really depends on the partnerships and how we feel about, where the market is trending, what they're looking for, and what we're looking for. If there's enough feedback and demand for it, that's definitely something we could explore. For right now, we're pretty happy having worked with our Y40, Y60, and now Y70 series cases, and we probably look forward to doing more in the future.



TechPowerUp: Looking forward for HYTE, what are you most excited about for 2025?

HYTE - Ish: For 2025, we've got quite a few exciting new products coming, not only in terms of cases but also coolers, fans, and lighting accessories, and a bunch of other components and peripherals. There's a lot you can look forward to coming up at CES next year when most of this will be unveiled and announced. But a lot of that will also go into effect with our collab series products.

TechPowerUp: Is there anything you can say about what's coming?
With these newer items, you'll start to see more of them being integrated in. And as for collabs themselves, we do have quite a few more collabs planned for 2025, especially with the Y70 and Y70 touch infinite, along with our coolers. So that's something you can look forward to over the next year.



TechPowerUp: Thank you for your time!

@btarunr, blink twice if @Dr. Dro is holding you against your will somewhere in a Brazilian favela and is forcing you to do this, we might be able to send help… or at least a packet of crisps and maybe a six-pack of cheap lager.

@Dr. Dro I'm sorry mate, but I also immediately thought of you upon seeing the headline to the article, and I think that's the case for everyone else in this forum that's somewhat active.

It is the will of Nous the Erudition, for THEY have foreseen that THEIR origins as an astral supercomputer would end up on such a magnificent case... as long as Hyte makes sure these are available worldwide, that is :')

TPU will have a review on the Hyte Keeb TKL - it's currently on Patreon Early Access.

I've already read it, the whole clear plastic transparent "ring" around that keyboard lights up into solid RGB it actually looks pretty slick when it's on, although it's a bit of an acquired taste there. The keycaps are actually pretty on-theme, all in all I think it is a keyboard I see myself using, too

It for sure has personality.

Personally not a fan of mainly/overwhelmingly amounts of RGB & the top left microphone looking thing looks just off/weird. But more power to you if you like it.

(The Keycaps look fine/cool if you are in to the theme)

It reminds me a lot of the Apple G3 keyboard (M7803 if I remember correctly), it really is an acquired taste. Think it's the way it's curved a bit
