So, wow, there was this big Honkai: Star Rail thing today—version 3.4 went live, and honestly, the hype was real. Everyone’s eyes were glued to screens waiting for the new characters—it’s like this big deal every single time. And yeah, we got a peek at them during the livestream. New characters, new chaos.

Okay, the juiciest bit? The Fate/stay night collab is finally happening. Announced last August, like, forever ago, and it’s finally here. We’re talking crossovers with this legendary fantasy novel. Took a whole ten months, but hey, better late than never, right?

Anyway—oh, hang on—cookies… there was something about enabling cookies? Why do they always get in the way? Sorry, lost my train of thought. Right, new characters! We’ve got Saber as a 5-Star Wind/Destruction character with her own banner. And Archer? Freebie if you log in during the collab. How cool is that? They’ll be around longer than usual—until Version 3.6, so no rush.

And Phainon! Remember him? Big NPC since Version 3.0, now playable. Finally! Another 5-Star, with a Physical/Destruction setup. Guess he’s joining the party, like his fellow Chrysos Heirs. All these icons dropping right at the start.

Oh, but that’s not all. Six rerun banners are coming back too, with Tribbie, Sunday, and Sparkle waving hello again in Phase 1. Meanwhile, Firefly, Jingliu, and Blade pop in during Phase 2. No fresh faces there, but really, with a lineup like this, can we even complain?

Stellaron Hunters! Everyone loves them, right? V3.4 gives them some new battle toys and Eidolon tweaks—Kafka, Silver Wolf, Blade all getting updates. And Firefly has a snazzy new outfit. Not to forget, Jingliu’s getting some kit enhancements too. Is she turning rogue with Elio’s crew? Honestly, who knows, but wouldn’t that be wild?

Mark your calendars—July 2nd for the 3.4 launch, with a banner switch-up on July 23rd. And if you missed the livestream, there’s a VOD floating around somewhere.

Also, a shoutout to Version 3.3 that rolled out in May. Introduced Hyacine, brought The Herta back—it was like this whole party in the first phase. Then, bam, second phase drops Cipher and some oldies. Bit of a shake-up with voice actors for our Trailblazers, Stelle and Caelus. Strikes, negotiations, SAG-AFTRA doing their thing—it’s been a rollercoaster. Some characters like Dan Heng and Himeko? Still in limbo there.

But hey, that’s gaming for you. Always something to keep us hooked.
