HoYoverse has announced that Honkai Impact 3rd will be receiving a collab with Honkai Star Rail, giving fans of both games new content to look forward to. 

Honkai Impact 3rd is no stranger to the world of collabs. The free to play gacha game has featured Asuka from Evangelion and even Fischl Genshin Impact, enabling players to add both characters to their rosters. 

HoYoverse even announced that HSR will be getting a Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works crossover. However, the recent HI3 x HSR collab trailer has revealed exciting news for fans of both anime games. 

So, here’s everything we currently know about the collab and what has been revealed thus far. 

Honkai Impact 3rd x Honkai Star Rail collab release date

The HI3 x HSR collab will be released on November 28, 2024. This news was revealed during the official behind-the-scenes announcement video, which you can watch in its entirety above.

During the Honkai Impact 3rd x Honkai: Star Rail collab preview trailer, HoYoverse revealed that Sparkle will be making her debut in Honkai Impact 3rd’s v7.9 update. This likely means the Quantum character will be playable, just like how Keqing and Fischl could be unlocked in the Genshin Impact crossover.

Fans also received a sneak peek at some official art from the upcoming event. Both Honkai writer Shaoji and Honkai Impact 3rd Artist RJ revealed that there would be “two stories in one”. 

HSR character Jing Yuan also notes that his team’s scouting mission has failed and that the bureau has a mole. We then get to see the following notable characters: 

  • Jing Yuan 
  • Tingyun
  • Welt 
  • Bailu 
  • Kiana Kaslana
  • Stelle
  • Elysia
  • Firefly

It’s unclear whether these characters will also be unlockable in HI3, but they will play an important role in the collab. The announcement trailer also noted that players can expect to see plenty of suspense, action, wonder, and explosive moments. 

Will Honkai Star Rail receive a Honkai Impact 3rd collab? 

There are still no details regarding whether HSR will also receive any HI3 crossover. However, we do know that the game will be getting at least one confirmed collab. 

During the version 2.4 livestream on July 19, 2024, HoYoverse announced that HSR will be collaborating with popular anime Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works. You can read about the event via our guide here
