HSR x Fate UBW collaboration start time and duration
By Marco Wutz
Following up on the fantastic HSR 3.4 story is a collaboration between HoYoverse’s space RPG and the iconic Fate franchise that fans have been waiting for a long time. The HSR x Fate UBW crossover is set to bring exclusive characters, a story event, and a gameplay event to the table.
Unlimited Blade Works’ Saber and Archer are coming to HSR on special banners, though you can claim Archer for free simply by logging in — and you’ll get his Light Cone as a bonus after pulling 200 times on any banner during HSR 3.4.
But which parts of the collaboration will be permanent and which have a time limit? Here’s all you need to know about that.
HSR x Fate UBW start time
The collaboration between HSR and Fate UBW starts on July 11, 2025, at 7:00am EDT. Here’s what that means for your timezone:
- July 11, 4:00am PDT
- July 11, 6:00am CDT
- July 11, 7:00am EDT
- July 11, 12:00pm BST
- July 11, 1:00pm CEST
- July 11, 4.30pm IST
- July 11, 7:00pm CST
- July 11, 8:00pm JST/KST
- July 11, 9:00pm AEST
- July 11, 11:00pm NZST
This is when the collaboration banners, story quest, and in-game event go live.
HSR x Fate UBW duration
HSR x Fate UBW banners
There is currently no end date for the HSR x Fate UBW banners. “This Collaboration Warp will be available for a long time, with no scheduled end date,” the studio stated in an official notice.
HoYoverse further confirmed that they will run beyond the end of HSR 3.6, which will be the deadline to claim Archer for free by logging in.
The event granting you a free Light Cone for Archer for pulling 200 times runs until August 13, 2025.
As a reminder, the following collaboration banners will be available:
- Saber (5-Star, Wind, Destruction)
- A Thankless Coronation (5-Star, Destruction)
- Archer (5-Star, Quantum, Hunt)
- The Hell Where Ideals Burn (5-Star, Hunt)
These banners only share pity counts with each other, but not the regular banners.
Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail
The Trailblaze Continuance Mission will be “available long-term” after its launch on July 11, 2025 — it looks like the timeline will be similar to the banners, so there’s no pressure to get the story quest done quickly or miss out on it otherwise.
Players will need to have reached Trailblaze Level 21 or above to access this story.
Fate/stay night
This in-game event will be available from July 11, 2025, to August 11, 2025. Afterwards, it will be moved to the Conventional Memoir section and become permanently available. This means that you won’t be able to miss out on the event itself, but can miss its limited-time rewards.
Players will need to have reached Trailblaze Level 21 or above to access this story.
Archer and Saber voiceover
There is one other important thing to note about the collaboration: Archer and Saber won’t have English voices — likely due to their original VAs not being available and licensing making recasts difficult.
This will not change, but the developers will allow players to use their voiceovers from other languages without having to switch their entire game’s dubbing package starting in HSR 3.5.
If you want to hear Archer and Saber speak in HSR 3.4, you’ll need to switch your game’s voiceover language to Japanese, Chinese, or Korean.
