HoYoverse has recently unveiled a tantalizing teaser for the next installment in the Honkai series, tentatively titled Honkai: Nexus Anima. This upcoming game has sparked curiosity and excitement among fans, who are eager to dissect the teaser to predict the gameplay mechanics it might introduce.
What Do We Know?
The teaser was showcased during the second anniversary concert of Honkai: Star Rail, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats. The teaser concluded with Kiana, a beloved character from Honkai Impact 3rd, greeting the audience in Chinese while standing at a building's entrance alongside her adorable pet. Following this, Blade, a character from Honkai: Star Rail, made an appearance, suggesting 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 [ttpp].
Although no official title was announced during the stream, the teaser ended with the message, 'A brand new Honkai game, stay tuned.' The name Honkai: Nexus Anima has been circulating, initially appearing in job listings earlier this year and later in trademark filings and domain registrations, lending credibility to the notion that this could indeed be the game's final title.
Is It Going to be a Pokémon-Like?
The teaser has sparked comparisons to Pokémon, especially with its depiction of pet companions and trainer-style battles. A highlight was the confrontation between Kiana and Blade, hinting that Nexus Anima might emphasize combat and companion dynamics more than its predecessors in the Honkai series.
As we await further details on the release date and official title of Honkai: Nexus Anima, the anticipation continues to build. In the meantime, don't miss out on our next exciting coverage about the pre-registration of the Gothic Vampire RPG, Silver and Blood, on Android.
