HoYoverse has just unveiled a teaser for the next chapter in the Honkai universe, sparking excitement with the announcement of Honkai: Nexus Anima. This upcoming game promises to expand the Honkai series, and the teaser offers a tantalizing glimpse into what fans can expect.
The teaser for Honkai: Nexus Anima was revealed during the second anniversary concert of Honkai: Star Rail, where it was streamed live to the audience. The teaser concluded with Kiana, a beloved character from Honkai Impact 3rd, greeting viewers in Chinese. She was depicted standing at the entrance of a building, accompanied by her charming pet, stealing the spotlight.
Following Kiana, Blade from Honkai: Star Rail made an appearance, hinting at a potential crossover between the two Honkai worlds in Nexus Anima. While the trailer was brief and didn't reveal much, you can watch it for yourself right here to catch all the subtle details.
Interestingly, no official title was mentioned during the stream. Instead, the teaser ended with the message, 'A brand new Honkai game, stay tuned.' However, the name 'Honkai: Nexus Anima' has been circulating among fans. This name first surfaced earlier this year in job listings and has since appeared in trademark filings and domain registrations, lending credibility to the speculation that this will indeed be the game's title.
If you sensed a Pokémon-like atmosphere from the teaser, you're not alone. The teaser indeed evokes a blend of Pokémon and Honkai elements, particularly with the inclusion of pet companions and trainer-style battles. A highlight of the video was a battle sequence featuring Kiana versus Blade, suggesting that Honkai: Nexus Anima might focus more on combat and companion dynamics than its predecessors.
As of now, the release date and the official title remain undisclosed. However, the teaser has certainly piqued interest and set the stage for what could be an exciting addition to the Honkai series. While we await further details on Honkai: Nexus Anima, don't miss out on our next feature about the pre-registration of the Gothic Vampire RPG, Silver and Blood, on Android.
