Although Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.3 just launched recently with featured banners for Hyacine and Herta (in her first rerun), major details about Version 3.4 have already surfaced through beta leaks — and the upcoming patch looks absolutely stacked with new content.

New 5 Stars Character: Phainon – Heir of the Chrysos

The most anticipated reveal is the debut of Phainon, a powerful warrior from the Chrysos Heirs — a faction sworn to hunt Titans and collect their Core flames. First introduced during the Silver Chariot mission alongside Tribbie, Phainon quickly became a fan-favorite.

- Path: Destruction

- Role: Main DPS

Epic Collaboration: Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works

Version 3.4 will also feature a crossover event with the Fate/Stay Night anime, focusing on the Unlimited Blade Works storyline. Two iconic characters will join the Star Rail universe as limited units:

Saber (Destruction Path): Likely a DPS

Archer (Hunt Path): Single-target damage specialist

The collab banner is expected to launch about one week after Version 3.4 is release and will feature a separate pity count, allowing players to pull without affecting their limited banner guarantees.

Version Title: "For the Sun is Set to Die"

The official title for Version 3.4 is "For the Sun is Set to Die", hinting at a somber yet epic chapter for the Astral Express crew. A new Stellarion will take center stage in the story, and players will meet mysterious new companions along the way.

Version 3.4 is expected to drop on July 2025. Don't miss your chance to summon Phainon and witness one of the most exciting anime crossovers in Honkai: Star Rail history!
