Where to Watch
The HSR 4.4 special program will be simulcast on two platforms:
- YouTube – The official Honkai: Star Rail YouTube channel.
- Twitch – The official Honkai: Star Rail Twitch channel.
Both streams will run concurrently, so choose whichever works best for your time zone.
First Look at New Characters
The 4.4 livestream puts two major banner groups in the spotlight.
Himeko SP / Himeko Nova – A variant of the vanilla Himeko we already know. Details remain scarce until the broadcast, but expect a fresh kit that may slot into a different role—likely a sub-DPS or support with strong synergy against Fire-weak enemies.
Fate/stay Night Collab – Rin Tohsaka and Gilgamesh enter the Astral Express. The most exciting news? Gilgamesh will be a free character obtainable through event rewards. Rin Tohsaka will be on a limited-time Warp Banner. Given the collab nature, these units will almost certainly never rerun, so plan your Stellar Jade budget accordingly.

Should You Pull?
If you are a collector or a fan of Fate/stay Night, Rin Tohsaka is a must-pull simply due to collab exclusivity. Free Gilgamesh is a zero-risk addition. For meta-minded Trailblazers, wait until the kit reveals during the livestream before committing jade. Himeko SP's value will also depend on her Eidolon scaling and how she fits into current Memory of Chaos and Pure Fiction cycles. New characters often shift the tier list, so keep an eye on the theorycrafting community shortly after the broadcast.
Endgame Readout
The 4.4 livestream may also tease the new content coming with the patch. Based on historical patterns, expect a new Memory of Chaos rotation, potentially tailored to showcase the new collab units. The free Gilgamesh could be a soft incentive for players to build more diverse teams for Pure Fiction and Simulated Universe. The 300 Stellar Jades from codes are a small boost—save them for Rin Tohsaka's banner.
Conclusion
Mark your calendars for July 3, 2026. The HSR 4.4 livestream is your first chance to see Himeko SP, Himeko Nova, Rin Tohsaka, and Gilgamesh in action. Redeem the three codes immediately during the stream to grab 300 Stellar Jades, and start planning your pulls now—especially if you want to secure the limited collab units.
