Crunchyroll and HoYoverse have announced a worldwide special collaboration that bridges streaming and in game activities for Honkai: Star Rail. From 6 November 2025 until 27 January 2026, eligible players can link their Honkai: Star Rail and Crunchyroll accounts to unlock a 14 day Crunchyroll Premium Mega Fan free trial and take on missions that award in game items.
When the official event page goes live on 6 November, linking accounts will grant access to the free trial and open a set of collaborative quests. During the same window, HoYoFair’s 2025 Special Fan Art Program, Chimerric Park, will premiere exclusively on Crunchyroll for two weeks. New and existing Crunchyroll members who link accounts can complete missions tied to viewing Chimerric Park to earn rewards such as Stellar Jades and Lost Crystals.
The rollout is structured across four rounds:
- Round 1: 6 November 2025 – 25 November 2025
- Round 2: 25 November 2025 – 16 December 2025
- Round 3: 16 December 2025 – 6 January 2026
- Round 4: 6 January 2026 – 27 January 2026
Crunchyroll’s Executive Vice President of Emerging Business, Terry Li, shared the following statement:
We know that nearly 80% of anime fans play anime or anime-related games, and 40% of our audience are playing pop culture defining games like Honkai: Star Rail more than 20 hours a week. Delivering in-game rewards to Crunchyroll Members is our way of enhancing their gaming experiences and creating compelling moments to jump into titles that speak to our fans.
