So far, we have official confirmation of two cosmetic items included as part of the Honkai Star Rail x Fortnite collab, with Stellaron Hunters Kafka and Blade arriving as outfits in the item shop for a limited time only. It's likely that these will be part of a set, that may also include at least one related harvesting tool, back bling etc. According to this announcement from the official Honkai Star Rail X account, there will be a bonus offer to "Join the Honkai: Star Rail top up event in Epic Games Store. Eligible players will receive the “Blade” outfit in Fortnite as a bonus."

That's all we know for now, but "More details will be shared soon" – so we will update this guide as soon as we have further information to relay.
