Honkai’s Upcoming Game Honkai: Nexus Anima Will Connect the Other Two Honkai Worlds

HoYoverse has set the Honkai fanbase abuzz with a tantalizing teaser for their next venture in the beloved series: Honkai: Nexus Anima. Revealed during the second anniversary concert of Honkai: Star Rail, the teaser has sparked a flurry of speculation about what gameplay innovations we might see in this upcoming title.

What Do We Know?

The teaser was unveiled at the concert's finale, featuring Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd, who greeted viewers in Chinese while standing alongside her charming pet at a building's entrance. The excitement ramped up when Blade from Honkai: Star Rail made an appearance, hinting at a potential crossover between the two Honkai universes within Nexus Anima.

Interestingly, no official title was mentioned during the stream, but the teaser concluded with the promise of 'A brand new Honkai game, stay tuned.' The name 'Honkai: Nexus Anima' has gained traction, initially surfacing in job listings earlier this year, and further supported by trademark filings and domain registrations.

Is It Going to be a Pokémon-Like?

The teaser has led many to draw parallels with Pokémon, particularly due to the presence of pet companions and what appears to be trainer-style battles. A highlight of the teaser was a face-off between Kiana and Blade, suggesting that Nexus Anima might emphasize combat and companion dynamics more than its predecessors.

While the release date and the final title remain undisclosed, the anticipation for Honkai: Nexus Anima continues to grow.
