After the bombastic arrival of one of the Stellaron Hunters in Planarcadia, it seems this faction still has a lot to show during this narrative arc because another one is about to join the fray. Today, HoYoverse unveiled everything coming to Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.3. Besides the new story beats, some of which focus on Blade’s curse and the Trailblazer’s journey in Planarcadia, we’ll also get several new characters, events, rewards, and some long-awaited re-runs. And if that wasn’t enough, we just got confirmation that the Fate collab is getting bigger as a new Master and Servant are about to join the playable roster.
Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.3 Arrives on June 1, 2026
As usual, here’s the trailer for Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.3, and if you haven’t watched it, we urge you to do so. Yet, if you want the summary of all the goodies and additions coming to the game, we have that, too.
As always, we’ll get a new Trailblaze Mission, this time focusing on Blade’s curse, which should be interesting, especially to those waiting for this Stellar Hunter to get some time in the spotlight. And, speaking of Blade, Mortenax Blade is becoming a playable character. He’s a 5-star Nihility user wielding the power of Fire, and his kit revolves around deploying a special field that increases the damage enemies take. To accompany him, Yao Guang is getting her first rerun, and if you didn’t get her, we recommend pulling for her, as she’s the universal Elation support right now. For the second phase, Amphoreus’ favorites return, with Phainon and Cyrene taking the stage for their long-awaited re-runs.
Beyond that, Trailblazers can expect the usual log-in rewards, a new outfit accessory for the Trailblazers, the Starward Mode coming to several endgame modes that increase difficulty but also provide more rewards, and more surprises. But if that wasn’t enough, we also got confirmation of the Fate collaboration getting bigger sometime during Summer 2026.
Rin and Gilgamesh Will Land on Honkai: Star Rail
The next big piece of news is that the Fate collab, which we initially thought would only include Saber and Archer, is growing, as it is bringing an iconic Master and one of the most dangerous Servants of the Holy Grail War. Rin and Gilgamesh will eventually arrive at Honkai: Star Rail. The former will be a 5-star Quantum/Erudition character, while the latter will embrace the Path of Destruction and the Lightning Element. And, just like the event’s first part, players will get the option to claim Gilgamesh or another Archer for free. However, there isn’t a set date for this event yet, but the studio has confirmed it will arrive during the summer.
While we wait for the new Fate characters to arrive, start getting ready for Version 4.3, which will progress through another excellent story arc in Honkai: Star Rail and will finally give us another playable Stellar Hunter, or rather, a new version of one.
