Honkai Star Rail Four Point Four: Himeko Returns and Fate Invades the Game

On July 15, Honkai: Star Rail will receive its 4.4 patch. The story puts us in command of saving a world in crisis while we search for Himeko, who returns with a new combat form. As a cherry on top, a collaboration with Fate/stay night arrives, adding Rin Tohsaka and Gilgamesh as playable characters. All of this is free content and temporary events for the community.

Technical news and performance in version 4.4 🛠️

The development team has optimized loading times on last-generation consoles and reduced RAM consumption on mobile devices. A new combat system for Himeko is incorporated, allowing switching between two stances, each with unique abilities. Additionally, the Fate/stay night characters arrive with their own animations and a skill tree adapted to the current meta. Servers will undergo maintenance on July 14.

Gilgamesh arrives and your wallet trembles 💰

Of course, bringing such an arrogant king as Gilgamesh couldn't be free. If you want to dress him in his golden armor or have him unleash the Sword of Victory in style, you'll have to pay up. That said, at least you can farm his materials for free during the event. You know, the classic dance between HoYoverse's generosity and your pocket. Let the dance of wishes begin.
