The event, titled \"Phantom Creation: Holy Grail War,\" will launch on July 24. It adds Rin Tohsaka and Gilgamesh as playable five-star characters. Rin Tohsaka follows the Erudition path and deals Quantum damage, while Gilgamesh follows the Destruction path and deals Lightning damage. Character drafts are handled by Fate creator Takashi Takeuchi, with story supervision by Kinoko Nasu. Players can obtain either Gilgamesh or the previously released Archer for free by logging in during the event period, which runs from the 4.4 update launch through the end of version 4.6. The first collaboration, held in July 2025, introduced Saber and Archer as playable characters and Lancer as an NPC. The announcement was part of a preview program for version 4.3, which launches on June 1 and introduces a new playable character, Chiyan Blade, alongside story content and a new challenge mode.","why_it_matters":"This marks the first time a non-Servant character from the Fate franchise becomes playable in Honkai: Star Rail, expanding the crossover beyond the original lineup of Saber and Archer.","published_at":"2026-05-22T14:30:54.000Z","source_count":5,"sources":["Denfaminicogamer","Inside","Game Spark","Anime Corner","Siliconera (Anime)"],"citations":[{"source":"Denfaminicogamer","title":"\"Rin Tohsaka\" and \"Gilgamesh\" to be Implemented in Honkai: Star Rail!!
