Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.4 Update Brings New Story Chapters and Fate/Stay Night Crossover
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Honkai: Star Rail version 4.4 arrives soon with server maintenance starting mid-July, bringing the continuation of the Planarcadia story, a new Himeko variant, and the next wave of the Fate/Stay Night crossover.
HoYoverse is preparing to roll out Honkai: Star Rail version 4.4, bringing a fresh wave of story content and a major crossover event. As reported by Polygon, the standard server maintenance kicks off on July 14 or July 15, depending on your local time zone, and is scheduled to run for roughly five hours before the new patch goes live. Players looking to maximize their resource grind should plan their fuel usage carefully, as the update introduces a brand-new battle pass and fresh relic sets ready for farming.
The upcoming patch continues the ongoing Planarcadia narrative arc while introducing a heavily anticipated five-star variant of Himeko. Dubbed Himeko Nova, this new Erudition character commands a giant combat robot and features unique team synergy buffs specifically tailored for fellow Astral Express crew members. Building around these team compositions will likely shake up current end-game meta strategies.
On top of the narrative and character additions, version 4.4 deploys the second phase of the ongoing Fate/Stay Night collaboration. Fans of the iconic franchise can look forward to unlocking Rin Tohsaka and Gilgamesh as fully playable characters once the servers return online.
