Call of Duty: Mobile has delivered another major global update for its Honkai Impact 3rd crossover. Activision has revealed three Legendary Operators inspired by HoYoverse's action RPG and confirmed that they will arrive through separate Draws beginning September 10, 2026.
The reveal finally clarifies how the character-focused portion of the collaboration will be distributed following the initial teaser. At the same time, the crossover is becoming a major part of Season 8: Against All Fate, which also includes a separate event where players can earn one of three Honkai-themed Mythic Weapons by completing in-game tasks.

Legendary Operators, Teaser and Gameplay
Three Legendary Operators Are Split Across Separate Draws
The biggest piece of information in the new announcement is the distribution structure. Call of Duty: Mobile explicitly says the three Legendary Operators will appear in three different Draws, rather than being grouped into a single shared offer.
That gives each design its own distribution path. Players interested in only one crossover Operator therefore will not necessarily be dealing with a single Series Armory containing all three characters.
The global account has not yet shown each complete reward pool, however. Any associated weapon blueprint, melee weapon, emote, charm, calling card or additional cosmetic should therefore remain unconfirmed until the individual Draws are formally detailed.
The Operators Are Inspired by Honkai Impact 3rd
The wording of the global announcement is important: Call of Duty: Mobile describes them as Honkai Impact 3rd-inspired Legendary Operators.
In other words, the crossover is applying Honkai-themed designs within COD Mobile's Operator ecosystem rather than simply describing the three as direct character imports carrying only their original identities.
Earlier promotional material strongly leaned into the familiar visual language of Honkai Impact 3rd's Herrscher trio. The newest global artwork now presents all three crossover designs clearly together for the first time in this phase of the campaign.
Draws Begin September 10, Individual Timing Remains Unannounced
The confirmed global starting point is September 10, 2026. The official account says the three Draws will begin arriving from that date.
What remains unclear is whether all three open simultaneously or roll out separately after the initial date. Schedules circulating from other regional versions should not automatically be treated as the global timetable because COD Mobile regional calendars can differ.
COD Point pricing is also still unannounced. Since Draw costs vary according to region and reward structure, there is currently no official basis for calculating the total price of obtaining one or all three Legendary Operators.
Launching Alongside Season 8: Against All Fate
The crossover arrives as Call of Duty: Mobile transitions into its next major season. The official account announced Season 8: Against All Fate for September 9 at 5 PM PT, which is already September 10 across several Asian time zones.
That places the Legendary Operator Draw launch directly at the beginning of Season 8, making Honkai Impact 3rd one of the major content beats surrounding the new season's rollout.
Season 8 also contains broader COD Mobile content, so not every feature, event or reward introduced during the season should be treated as part of the Honkai crossover.
The Free Mythic Event Is Separate From the Operator Draws
Before revealing the Legendary Operators, Call of Duty: Mobile also announced a Honkai Impact 3rd: Free Mythic Event.
Through that event, players will complete in-game tasks toward earning one of three crossover-themed Mythic Weapons. The official account has clarified that the earned weapon is a permanent reward rather than merely a temporary trial.
This distinction matters. The newly revealed Operators are tied to separate Draws, while the free Mythic Weapon uses its own progression-based event path.
The Crossover Was First Teased in August
The collaboration between COD Mobile and Honkai Impact 3rd was first announced globally on August 7, 2026 through a short teaser carrying a simple “Coming soon” message.
At that stage, Activision only confirmed the crossover and a September window without fully explaining its global distribution structure. Chinese promotional material subsequently offered an earlier glimpse at its visual direction.
The September 2 announcement is therefore a major step forward: the global account has now directly confirmed the three-Draw structure and provided a concrete starting date.
Why This Matters
1) The three-Draw structure is finally official
Players now know that each Legendary Operator belongs to a separate Draw instead of a single combined pool.
2) The crossover is not relying entirely on paid content
Alongside the Operator Draws, the Free Mythic Event gives players another path toward a major collaboration reward through gameplay tasks.
3) The launch lands right at the start of Season 8
September 10 places the Honkai content immediately alongside the rollout of Against All Fate.
4) Major spending details are still missing
Pricing, individual Draw order, full reward pools and end dates remain unannounced, so there is not yet enough official information to calculate COD Point requirements.
