Alongside announcing Version 2.4 for Honkai: Star Rail, out later this month, miHoYo Games also revealed a collaboration with an unlikely property – Fate. No, not Fate/Grand Order, another immensely successful gacha title, but Type-Moon’s Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works. Further details are pending, but considering the collab is out in Q3 2025, it may be a while.
Fate/stay night is one of history’s most popular visual novels; Unlimited Blade Works is its second major route. It places Rin Tohsaka center-stage and provides more details on the backstory of Archer. The route has significant narrative implications for the franchise – and protagonist Emiya Shirou – as a whole. Of course, it’s the title’s popularity as a whole that spawned the media juggernaut that Fate has become.
How Honkai: Star Rail will crossover remains to be seen, though the story has its fair share of inter-dimensional and inter-space hijinks. It seems a given that characters from Unlimited Blade Works could be available as new limited five stars, but we’ll need to wait for more details.
