Honkai Star Rail x Fate Collab: Free 5-Star & Release Date

05/04/2025 RPG

Get ready for a massive crossover event! HoYoverse has finally revealed the release date for the highly anticipated Honkai Star Rail x Fate collaboration. The event, titled "Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail," kicks off on July 11, 2025, bringing two iconic Fate characters into the world of Honkai Star Rail.

New Playable Characters

Two 5-star characters will be joining the Honkai Star Rail roster. First, we have Saber (Artoria Pendragon), a wind-element Destruction character. This legendary hero will be available through a limited-time event banner. Then there's Archer, a quantum-element Hunt character, who will be given away for free to all players who log in during the collaboration event!

This free Archer offer will run until the end of Honkai Star Rail version 3.6, expected to be sometime in November 2025. It's likely to be easily accessible, similar to previous free character giveaways. The collaboration also features a story penned by Fate writer Kinoko Nasu, with character designs by Takashi Takeuchi.

The event promises exciting interactions between Saber and the Honkai Star Rail crew, and adds a new layer of depth to the already captivating gameplay.

More to Come

HoYoverse also hinted at a new Honkai game during their recent concert, though details remain scarce. However, this collaboration is already huge news for fans of both franchises.
