HoYoverse has unveiled an exciting teaser for the next installment in the Honkai universe, tentatively titled Honkai: Nexus Anima. This upcoming game in the series was hinted at during the Honkai: Star Rail second anniversary concert, where a brief trailer was showcased, leaving fans eager to decipher its potential gameplay elements.
What Do We Know?
The teaser was introduced at the concert's finale with Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd greeting the audience in Chinese. She was seen standing at a building's doorway, accompanied by her beloved pet, which immediately caught the viewers' attention. The teaser then transitioned to Blade from Honkai: Star Rail, suggesting a potential crossover or connection between the two Honkai worlds within Nexus Anima. Although the trailer was short and didn't reveal much, you can watch it here to see for yourself.
Interestingly, no official title was announced during the live stream. Instead, the teaser concluded with the message, 'A brand new Honkai game, stay tuned.' However, the name Honkai: Nexus Anima has been circulating due to its mention in earlier job listings, trademark filings, and domain registrations, which lends credibility to it being the final title.
Is It Going to be a Pokémon-Like?
The teaser has sparked speculation about a Pokémon-like gameplay experience, especially with the inclusion of pet companions and what appears to be trainer-style battles. A notable scene depicted a confrontation between Kiana and Blade, hinting that Nexus Anima may emphasize combat and companion dynamics more than its predecessors in the Honkai series.
While the release date and official title of Honkai: Nexus Anima remain under wraps, the anticipation is palpable. As we await further details, don't miss out on our next exciting news piece about the pre-registration of the Gothic Vampire RPG, Silver and Blood, on Android.
