🗡️ Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Joins the Star Rail Universe
The headline announcement of the evening? The long-awaited collaboration between Honkai: Star Rail and Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] is officially launching on July 11, 2025, under the event title “Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail.”
Two iconic characters, Archer and Saber, will join the Star Rail universe:
- Archer (The Hunt: Quantum) – A free 5-star character, available just by logging in during the event.
- Saber (Destruction: Wind) – A limited 5-star character available through the Event Warp.
Both characters will interact with the Astral Express Crew in unique story arcs, blending the mythos of Fate/stay night with the sci-fi fantasy of Star Rail. Even more exciting—Takashi Takeuchi, the legendary artist behind Fate/stay night, designed both characters for this event. Plus, the collaboration’s narrative is supervised by Kinoko Nasu, the original creator of the Fate series.
This is more than fanservice—it’s a full-scale, lore-driven crossover event crafted by the original minds behind Fate/stay night.
🚀 A New Honkai Game on the Horizon?
In a surprise moment during the concert, fans caught a glimpse of the future—a mysterious teaser trailer hinting at a new Honkai title.
