The newest announcement for Honkai: Star Rail from Hoyoverse hit the internet today. We got a new trailer for the newest update, as well as news for the continuation of the Fate/ collaboration. There are currently two banners for Fate/Stay Night with Saber and Archer. Looks like there is more coming!
This trailer showcases a lot of information. Himeko is still in Planarcadia? Yet she is also with us in the Canvas at the same time. Blade is prepping for his final form and thinking about his final adventure. He seeks to borrow the power of the Voracity to melt away the Shuhu within his own body, bringing a final end to this long-enduring curse. However, whether this action ultimately leads to death or rebirth remains a blank in Elio’s script, and the answer will be witnessed firsthand by the Trailblazer.
In this update, Mortenax Blade, a 5-star Fire-Type character following the Path of Nihility, officially makes his debut. This swordsman, once stricken with mara, leading him to join the Stellaron Hunters and await his “death in the script” across the long years, will face a major turning point in his destiny in this version. In combat, Mortenax Blade can use his Ultimate, “Fornax Ex Corpore” to deploy a special Bounded Field and enter an enhanced state. While the Bounded Field is active, all enemies receive increased DMG. Upon entering this enhanced state, Mortenax Blade unlocks his Skill, utilizing a Sword Formation to deal even more DMG to enemies while gaining a brand-new, more powerful Ultimate. Furthermore, every time an ally attacks an enemy, they inflict a debuff on the target and accumulate a special Charge for Mortenax Blade. Once this Charge is full, he automatically uses his Skill once and regenerates extra Energy.
Furthermore, Honkai: Star Rail has officially announced its collaboration with UGREEN. Collaboration merchandise and various online and offline events will gradually roll out across multiple countries and regions, with more details to be revealed at a later date. Finally, this summer, the Holy Grail War will ignite once again.
First and foremost, there are going to be two new characters showing up for Fate/Stay Night. One that is going to be very popular that is showing up is Rin Tohsaka. Saber is the most popular servant, but Rin is probably the most popular master in the series. She is the master of Archer in Fate/Unlimited Blade Works, one of the most popular entries in the series overall.
Gilgamesh is a free character you can receive once the collaboration gets its continuation. Rin Tohsaka will be a gacha banner similar to Saber. I pulled for Saber and her light cone. Odds are I will be pulling for Rin Tohsaka and her light cone as well!
As for what else lies in store for the Fate/Stay Night collaboration, we do not know yet. There is more information waiting to be revealed, likely after this upcoming update.
Honkai: Star Rail is now available Free-To-Play on PC, iOS, Android, Epic Games Store, and PS5. The Lethe Below the Living update goes live on June 1st, 2026.
