A new leak from Honkai: Star Rail is hinting at the addition of a brand-new enemy to the game as part of the upcoming Fate/Stay Night collaboration. HoYoverse initially announced the landmark crossover event late last year, confirming the first-ever in-game collaboration coming to Honkai: Star Rail. The event saw plenty of rumors throughout the following months about what the crossover could contain, ranging from new playable characters to an entirely new "Servant" mechanic. Now, HoYoverse has started to unveil everything players can expect from the highly-anticipated event.
HoYoverse officially shared more details about Honkai: Star Rail's upcoming collaboration with Fate/Stay Night earlier this month, showing off new characters and teasing a special event. Version 3.4 will bring two new playable roster members as part of the Fate/Stay Night crossover, with Saber as a five-star Wind Destruction character and Archer as a four-star Quantum Hunt character available for free during the event. The announcement also teased a new event during the crossover, bringing players back to Penacony for the "Penaconian Holy Grail War." A recent leak is now hinting at a brand-new enemy coming during the event.

Honkai: Star Rail Leak Teases New Enemy for Fate Collab
An update shared by prominent Honkai: Star Rail leaker HomDGCat is now teasing a new enemy with Honkai: Star Rail's Fate collaboration. The post showcases the "Thousand-Faced Skott (Corrupted)" enemy as a variant of Penacony's TV enemies, with weaknesses to Fire, Ice, Quantum, and Imaginary attacks. The lore blurb for the event references Honkai: Star Rail NPC Skott, who previously appeared in the "Aurum Alley's Hustle and Bustle" and "Saga of Primaveral Blade" events. The enemy will debut with Honkai: Star Rail's Fate/Stay Night crossover, scheduled to begin on July 11.
Skott's appearance as an enemy comes as HoYoverse has already teased several elements of the Fate franchise being incorporated in the crossover event. The announcement post revealed major elements of the franchise, like Command Seals and Noble Phantasms,will be used as in-game mechanics. The event blurb heavily references the Fate series' recurring Holy Grail Wars, suggesting the Trailblazer will become involved in one set on Penacony. The post also confirmed that the collaboration gacha will be available over a "long period of time," hinting at extended availability for the collab units.
The Fate/Stay Night collaboration is far from the only major content set to arrive during Honkai: Star Rail's Version 3.4 update. Alongside the release of Saber and Archer, the update will welcome major Amphoreus character Phainon to the playable roster, following rumors about his playability since the world's launch. Leaks have also teased several characters who may appear in re-run banners during Version 3.4, including Sunday, Tribbie, and Sparkle. Honkai: Star Rail's Version 3.4 looks to be one of the game's most exciting updates yet as the RPG welcomes its long-awaited first crossover.
