A recent social media exchange has ignited speculation about a potential collaboration between Fate/Grand Order and Honkai: Star Rail.
A post on the Honkai: Star Rail Japanese Twitter/ X account, which featured a conversation between David Jiang and Kinoko Nasu has caused fans to be excited with a possible HSR x FGO collaboration.
Although the same announcement was conspicuously absent from the game’s English Twitter/X account, the post promised that more details would be unveiled soon. This has led fans to wonder whether this dialogue hints at something significant for the games or even points to an in-real-life event on the horizon.
The notion of a Fate/Grand Order (FGO) x HSR collaboration is tantalizing for many, leading to rampant theorization and excitement.
The Twitter/ X post translates to:

Honkai: Star Rail Producer David JiangThe dream conversation has finally come true
What are the passionate feelings of both…?Details will be announced later! Everyone, please look forward to it!
Given the stature of David Jiang and Kinoko Nasu within the gaming industry, their conversation carries significant weight. Jiang, a key figure behind Honkai: Star Rail, and Nasu, the creative mind behind the Fate series, discussing a collaboration, suggests that whatever is in the works might be more substantial than a simple in-game event or promotional campaign.
Fans are left wondering: does this hint at a significant development for the games, or perhaps an in-real-life (IRL) event? Fans are theorizing about the possible introduction of limited-time events, character skins, weapons, and artifacts that feature iconic elements from both universes.
These could range from FGO’s historical and mythological figures appearing as playable characters in HSR, to Honkai: Star Rail-themed summons or missions in FGO. The synergy between Nasu’s storytelling and HSR’s gameplay could potentially introduce narrative-driven events that offer exclusive rewards, deepening player engagement with the lore of both franchises.
A fan expects an in-game or real-life item collaboration between FGO and HSR.
Another fan stated that it may be only getting something from FGO being added in HSR.
Others speculate that Nasu will write a story for HSR, either a main story or a one-time story that players can enjoy. Fans are excited about this collaboration as they have shared their thoughts as to how Nasu can contribute to HSR’s rich and compelling story.
Lastly, a fan said, “It’s gonna bring an interview you can read – and nothing more. They (Type-Moon) did the same with FF14 a while ago.”
As details about the potential collaboration remain under wraps, the gaming community is left to ponder the possibilities. Could we see characters from FGO making their way into the world of HSR, or vice versa? Might there be special in-game events, exclusive items, or even a joint storyline that merges the two universes? The anticipation is palpable, with fans eagerly awaiting official announcements.
The buzz around a comprehensive collaboration between Fate/Grand Order and Honkai: Star Rail, involving both narrative and in-game content, showcases the exciting possibilities of combining the strengths of two gaming giants.
