Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.4 is just around the corner, launching on July 2nd
Alongside a wealth of fresh content, it brings a highly anticipated crossover
Fate/Stay Night, one of the most beloved anime series of all time, is coming to Honkai: Star Rail!
With the upcoming opening of their Berlin café (yes, really), MiHoYo continues to roll out exciting new updates for their popular titles. Take Version 3.4 of Honkai: Star Rail, set to arrive on July 2nd—what’s new? A subtle but stunning crossover with one of the most iconic anime series ever made.
Starting with the update “For the Sun is Set to Die,” you’ll be able to recruit the brand-new character, Phainon. Fans who’ve followed the latest story developments will be thrilled to see him join the playable roster—he’s played a vital role in the Trailblazer’s journey.
Phainon is just as powerful in battle, relying on a unique resource called Coreflames. Build up enough to trigger his Ultimate, transforming him into a new form that clears other characters from the battlefield while preserving their buffs as he unleashes devastating attacks alone.

Draw and lose
There’s plenty here for longtime Honkai: Star Rail fans to love. But something even bigger is on the horizon—Phainon will soon be joined by two legendary figures: Saber and Archer from Fate/Stay Night, making their debut in the game.
Originating from the acclaimed multimedia franchise, when the collaboration event launches on July 11th, you can log in and claim the five-star Archer for free. Even if you’ve never experienced Fate/Stay Night before, this is a must-have opportunity.
But there’s still time before this update drops—so if you need a quick break to prepare for the wave of events ahead, why not explore our latest list of the top five new mobile games launching this week? Featuring the best releases from the past seven days!
