Honkai: Star Rail x Fate/stay night [UBW] Collab Brings Saber and Archer to the Battlefield on July 11 – YugaTech Gaming
The long-awaited crossover between Honkai: Star Rail and Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] is officially launching on July 11, 2025, developer miHoYo has confirmed. Originally teased in July 2024 with a broad Q3 2025 window, the collaboration is now arriving earlier than expected as part of version 3.6 of the hit turn-based RPG.
Themed “Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail”, the special event will immerse players in a dreamlike fusion of sci-fi and fantasy as Saber and Archer — two of Fate’s most iconic Heroic Spirits — join the Honkai universe.
A New Warp, Legendary Servants
Starting July 11 at 12:00 server time, players can participate in a Special Collaboration Warp using Star Rail Special Passes to obtain two exclusive, limited 5-star characters:
- Saber (Destruction: Wind) – The noble knight-king of Camelot answers the call to arms once again. As a Wind-element Destruction unit, Saber brings graceful but devastating power, embodying Artoria Pendragon’s strength and resolve in a brand-new form.
- Archer (The Hunt: Quantum) – A solitary enforcer of ideals and contradictions, Archer wields Quantum-based precision as a Hunt character. His identity may be shrouded in mystery, but his conviction burns brighter than ever.
The collaboration warp will be available for an extended period, separate from standard banners. Players can rest easy knowing that the cumulative warp count for this special event is independent of other warp types, such as the Character Event Warp.
Archer: Free for All Players
Even more exciting—Archer will be available for free to all players. Simply log in anytime after July 11 (12:00 server time) and before version 3.6 concludes to claim the 5-star Archer (The Hunt: Quantum) directly. It’s a gift that ensures every Trailblazer gets to summon justice into their party lineup.\
Holy Grail War Arrives in Penacony
A brand-new event inspired by the Fate universe is also set to launch on July 11. Players will dive into a dream-world iteration of the Holy Grail War taking place on Penacony, the Planet of Festivities. In this themed game mode, Trailblazers must summon Servants, command them in battle using Command Seals, and unleash Noble Phantasms to outsmart opponents across different classes and mechanics.
The event captures the heart of Fate/stay night’s lore—strategic battles, iconic character classes, and the quest for the all-powerful Holy Grail—while merging it with Honkai’s signature turn-based combat.
A Match Made in Mobile Gaming Heaven
This is not miHoYo’s first foray into crossover events, but the Fate/stay night [UBW] collaboration stands out thanks to the rich storytelling and passionate global fanbase it brings with it. Fate/stay night, originally a visual novel by Type-Moon, has inspired countless anime adaptations, films, and spinoffs — with Unlimited Blade Works remaining one of the most beloved versions.
As the hype builds, fans can expect more details to roll out soon, including gameplay previews, event mechanics, and potential cosmetics or collectibles. The July 11 launch marks not just a celebration of two iconic franchises, but a unique experience for anime and gaming communities alike.
