In anticipation of releasing Version 2.4 for Honkai: Star Rail this month, miHoYo Games has planned a surprising alliance with Fate. Specifically, its tie-up is with Type-Moon's Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works, another hugely popular game, not Fate/Grand Order. Though it's known that the collaboration is expected to launch in Q3 2025, more specifics remain to be provided.
Fate/Stay Night, one of the most revered visual novels, features Unlimited Blade Works as its second key storyline. This section concentrates on Rin Tohsaka and sheds light on Archer's background. It holds significant implications for the franchise storyline and the main character, Emiya Shirou. It's worth noting that the series' widespread recognition contributed to the media powerhouse that Fate now is.
How Honkai: Star Rail will integrate with Unlimited Blade Works needs to be clarified. Given the game's track record of multidimensional, interspace adventures, it wouldn't be surprising if characters from Unlimited Blade Works appear as limited five-star entities. However, a thorough revelation is yet to be made.
