HoYoverse has finally unveiled a teaser for the next chapter in the Honkai universe, introducing what fans are tentatively calling Honkai: Nexus Anima. This upcoming addition to the Honkai series has sparked curiosity and excitement among players who are eager to decipher the potential gameplay from the brief glimpses provided.
What Do We Know?
The teaser was premiered during the Honkai: Star Rail second anniversary concert, capturing the audience's attention as it was showcased at the conclusion of the event. Kiana, a beloved character from Honkai Impact 3rd, graced the screen, standing at the entrance of a building, her pet by her side. The appearance of Blade from Honkai: Star Rail suggests an intriguing crossover between the two Honkai worlds within Nexus Anima. While the trailer remained mysterious, you can watch it [ttpp]here[ttpp] to form your own impressions.
Interestingly, the teaser did not officially name the game, instead, it teased viewers with the message, 'A brand new Honkai game, stay tuned.' The name Honkai: Nexus Anima, however, has gained traction. It first emerged in job listings earlier this year and has since appeared in trademark filings and domain registrations, lending credibility to its use as the game's title.
Is It Going to be a Pokémon-Like?
The teaser's atmosphere has led some to draw comparisons to Pokémon, with its emphasis on pet companions and trainer-style battles. A highlight of the video was a face-off between Kiana and Blade, hinting that Nexus Anima could lean more towards combat and companion-centric gameplay than its predecessors in the Honkai series.
While the release date and the final title remain under wraps, the teaser has certainly piqued interest. As we await more details on Honkai's Nexus Anima, keep an eye out for our next feature on the pre-registration of the Gothic Vampire RPG, Silver and Blood, available on Android.
