Honkai: Nexus Anima to Link Two Worlds in Upcoming Game

HoYoverse has thrilled fans by unveiling a teaser for the next chapter in the Honkai universe: Honkai: Nexus Anima. This eagerly anticipated addition to the Honkai series promises to bring fresh gameplay elements, and fans are buzzing with excitement and speculation.

What Do We Know?

The teaser debuted during the Honkai: Star Rail second anniversary concert, where HoYoverse treated viewers to a live stream of the new content. As the event drew to a close, Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd greeted the audience in Chinese, standing gracefully at the entrance of a building with her charming pet by her side.

The teaser then introduced Blade from Honkai: Star Rail, hinting at a potential crossover between the two Honkai worlds in Nexus Anima. While the trailer keeps much under wraps, it's definitely worth checking out for yourself [ttpp].

Although no official title was announced during the stream, the teaser concluded with the message, 'A brand new Honkai game, stay tuned.' However, the name Honkai: Nexus Anima has been circulating among fans, spurred by its appearance in earlier job listings, trademark filings, and domain registrations. This suggests that Nexus Anima might indeed be the game's final title.

Is It Going to be a Pokémon-Like?

The teaser has sparked comparisons to Pokémon, with its focus on pet companions and trainer-style battles. A highlight was the face-off between Kiana and Blade, suggesting that Nexus Anima could lean more heavily into combat and companion mechanics than its predecessors in the Honkai series.

While we await further details on the release date and official title of Honkai: Nexus Anima, the game certainly looks intriguing. In the meantime, keep an eye out for our next article, which covers the pre-registration of the Gothic Vampire RPG, Silver and Blood, on Android.
