Honkai: Star Rail Leak Teases New Ice Element Character Following Fate/Stay Night Crossover

A fresh leak from Honkai: Star Rail has surfaced, teasing the Element of one of the first playable characters expected to launch after the game’s highly anticipated crossover with Fate/Stay Night. Since the release of its newest playable world, Amphoreus, the sci-fi RPG by HoYoverse has introduced a wave of new characters and game mechanics. One of the most notable additions is the Remembrance Path, which brought “Memosprites” — powerful summoned units that offer both damage-dealing capabilities and team buffs.

Among the most eagerly awaited events for fans is the Fate/Stay Night collaboration. First announced last year, the crossover will bring characters from the iconic anime franchise into the Honkai: Star Rail universe. Rumors strongly suggest that Saber and Archer will join the roster as playable characters. Leaks point toward the collaboration arriving with the Version 3.4 update, but now, attention is shifting to what comes next.

🌨️ New Ice Element Character in the Works

According to well-known leaker Sakura Haven, a new character is set to debut shortly after the Fate/Stay Night crossover and the arrival of Phainon. The leak reveals that this upcoming addition will wield the Ice Element. However, no further details were provided regarding the character’s name or their Path — the system that determines a character's combat role. Based on current speculation, this Ice user is not expected to appear within the next two updates, meaning their release could come in or after Version 3.5.

🔮 What’s Ahead for Honkai: Star Rail

HoYoverse has already confirmed that Version 3.3 will introduce two new five-star characters: Hyacine and Cipher. Additionally, leaks suggest that popular units like The Herta and Aglaea may receive re-runs. Version 3.4, on the other hand, is set to be even more packed — featuring the much-hyped Fate crossover and the debut of Phainon.

Beyond character additions, Honkai: Star Rail is rumored to receive major gameplay updates. The Memory of Chaos mode will reportedly be reworked in Version 3.3, introducing tougher enemies on its highest levels. There’s also talk of a new Weekly Boss making its debut alongside a refresh of the game’s Battle Pass in Version 3.4.
