Call of Duty Mobile is teaming up with Honkai Impact 3rd for a new crossover event. Activision confirmed the collaboration on August 7, 2026, through a video teaser on Call of Duty: Mobile’s official X account. The COD Mobile x Honkai Impact 3rd crossover is set to arrive in the game in September 2026, bringing operator skins and cosmetics inspired by HoYoverse’s action RPG.
Here’s everything confirmed about the collab so far, including the characters involved and when it’s expected to go live.
COD Mobile x Honkai Impact 3rd Crossover Release Date
The teaser for the COD Mobile x Honkai Impact 3rd crossover went live on August 7, 2026. It confirmed the collaboration is coming in September 2026, though Activision hasn’t shared an exact in-game date yet.
Some reports tied to the teaser video point to September 3, 2026, as a possible launch window. This would line up with the typical start of a new COD Mobile season, since Season 7: Terminated kicked off on August 6, 2026, and seasons usually run for about 4 to 5 weeks.
The crossover is expected to bring operator skins, Honkai-themed cosmetics, and other exclusive content to COD Mobile. Activision has not detailed the full scope of the event beyond the character reveals shown in the teaser.
Characters Featured in the Collab
Additional details came from the official Chinese Call of Duty: Mobile page on Bilibili, which posted a closer look at the crossover. The artwork shown there features 3 characters from Honkai Impact 3rd’s Herrscher trio.
Based on the Bilibili artwork, the COD Mobile operator Rin Yoshida appears to be getting a skin based on Raiden Mei’s Herrscher of Thunder form. Siren is tied to Kiana’s Herrscher of Flamescion design, while Kestrel is linked to Bronya’s Herrscher of Reason form.
COD Mobile has run similar anime crossovers before, using a lucky draw system for operator skins, so this collab could follow the same format.
The announcement has drawn attention from both the COD Mobile and Honkai Impact 3rd communities. The teaser video on Bilibili passed 150,000 views shortly after it was posted.
Marisa Honkai, a well-known figure in the Honkai Impact 3rd community, commented on the character selection, noting that the collab draws from the Herrscher trio’s earlier designs.
This crossover follows COD Mobile’s ongoing Season 7, which introduced a Terminator-themed collaboration. More official details on the Honkai Impact 3rd crossover, including a confirmed release date and full skin list, are expected closer to September.
