At a Glance
- Previous Fate/Stay Night collab: Saber & Archer debuted in Version 3.4 (launched globally UTC+0, 2025-09-11).
- Recent leaks: Claim that rumored 4.3 banner featuring Rin and Gilgamesh is not scheduled—Unconfirmed — subject to change.
- Official communications: No hints of Fate collab in April Special Program or patch notes as of time of writing.
- Alternate content: Mortenax Blade (Nihility, Fire) teased as a high-value rerun/alt, not yet officially scheduled.
- Planarcadia arc: Continues as the current story focus, with new unit variants surfacing in each recent patch cycle.
Fate/Stay Night Collaboration—What Was Confirmed So Far?
The collaboration event introducing Saber and Archer as playable characters was released in Version 3.4, receiving an enthusiastic response from both Fate enthusiasts and Honkai meta chasers. These characters remain top-tier choices, solidifying the expectation that future Fate units would be must-pulls whenever they arrived.
Since then, speculation about a second wave featuring Rin Tohsaka and Gilgamesh has circulated, with leaks originally pegging Version 4.3 as their planned debut. However, nothing in the 2026-04 Special Program or official Chinese/Hoyolab accounts referenced new collaboration events, making the timing suspect.
Banner Rumors: What’s Real, What’s Not
- Unconfirmed — subject to change: Prominent leaker Mortis (community source) now claims that the earlier reports of a 4.3 Fate collab are false. No official event files, login artwork, or patch preview teases have emerged for Rin or Gilgamesh.
- Recent character schedule cadence: Major crossover banners have always been internally teased or datamined 4–6 weeks before version release. The absence of credible visual or pre-release promo assets means a collab in 4.3 is now highly unlikely.
| Banner/Character | Version | Status | Confirmed in Official Channels? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saber & Archer | 3.4 | Released | Yes |
| Rin & Gilgamesh | 4.3 | Rumored Only | No |
| Mortenax Blade (Alt) | 4.3/4.4? | Teased (Leaked) | No |
Should You Pull or Save?
For those planning their Stellar Jades or opting into F2P efficiency, not pulling blindly is the best tactic with unconfirmed rumors. Without banner previews from official sources, prioritize the following:
- Wait for in-game banner preview (typically deployed 10–14 days before patch go-live)
- Focus pulls on currently confirmed and previewed units through active banner schedules
- Consider Mortenax Blade only if you lack existing meta DPS or if alternate element coverage fits your current roster
If Fate/Stay Night units are rescheduled, expect substantial pre-release hype from official HoYoverse channels.
Collaboration Events & Rewards: Where Things Stand
- Previous rewards (3.4): Included event-exclusive Light Cones, premium resources, and unique cosmetic items.
- No new event confirmed: As of this writing, there is no new Fate/Stay Night event officially on the patch calendar.
- Current arc focus: Planarcadia arc and related content (new 5-star units, cosmetics, and Platinum Cup milestone events).
Teams & Meta Implications
Both Saber and Archer proved extremely versatile, and speculative leaks suggest Rin would provide strong synergy with Archer, while Gilgamesh would operate as a universal DPS possibly on Destruction or Hunt Path. However, with no datamined kits or banners, meta impact remains theoretical.
For now:
– Prioritize deck-building around established meta units and recent reruns.
– Monitor leaks, but treat all new Fate collaborations details as subject to change until in-game content drops.

Unconfirmed — Subject to Change
- Rin & Gilgamesh banner: Currently unconfirmed for Version 4.3; treat all related info as rumor.
- Timeline for next Fate collab: Not stated in official materials.
- Release window speculation: No credible evidence or event assets available as of 2026-04-23 UTC+0.
