Fate/Stay: Night Announces Honkai: Star Rail Collab With Anime Short

As a longtime fan of both anime and gaming, I can barely contain my excitement at the impending crossover between Honkai: Star Rail and Fate/Stay Night! Having spent countless hours immersed in both worlds, I can’t help but feel like I’ve stumbled upon a dream collaboration.


In the realm of video game production, HoYoverse has made a significant impact. They’ve given birth to titles such as Honkai: Star Rail, Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero, and Honkai Impact. Although Honkai: Star Rail hasn’t confirmed an anime adaptation yet, similar to Genshin Impact, it plans to venture into the anime sphere next year. A collaboration between Honkai: Star Rail and Fate/Stay Night has been announced, which will allow the passengers on the space train to embark on an adventure with participants of the “Holy Grail War.”

Last year, Honkai: Star Rail made its debut on gaming platforms, categorized as a “free-to-play” video game that employs a “gacha” system where players aim to amass diverse characters to fulfill different objectives within the fictional universe. Although it hasn’t been officially announced, the visual style of the game gives the impression that it could easily fit into an existing anime franchise.

Following the Xianzhou expedition, the latest trailer at gamescom showcases Feixiao, one of the Seven Arbiter-Generals from the Xianzhou Yaoqing and wielder of Merlin’s Claw. Moreover, new insights into the intriguing collaboration with the Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] anime have been revealed. This includes Archer’s surprising arrival on the Astral Express, a move that startles Pom-pom and the crew, hinting at the extraordinary voyage yet to come.

If you haven’t watched the anime adaptation of “Fate/Stay Night”, it can be streamed on Crunchyroll before the game collaboration event. The streaming service characterizes the anime as follows: “Nestled between the sea and the mountains, Fuyuki City is the stage for an ancient ritual. The Holy Grail, a legendary artifact that grants any wish to its holder, triggers a contest every century. Seven masters, each bound with seven heroic spirits, fight to the death until only one remains victorious in this ‘Holy Grail War’.”
