HoYoverse has unveiled an exciting teaser for the next installment in the Honkai universe, tentatively titled Honkai: Nexus Anima. This upcoming game was hinted at during the Honkai: Star Rail second anniversary concert, where a new teaser was streamed live. The teaser concluded with Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd, speaking in Chinese and standing at a building's entrance alongside her charming pet. Following her, Blade from Honkai: Star Rail made an appearance, suggesting a possible crossover between the two Honkai worlds in Nexus Anima. While the trailer keeps much under wraps, you can watch it yourself [ttpp].
It's worth noting that no official title was announced 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, stemming from earlier job listings, trademark filings, and domain registrations, lending credibility to it being the final title.
The teaser has sparked speculation about the game's mechanics, with many drawing comparisons to Pokémon. The presence of pet companions and trainer-style battles in the teaser supports this notion. A highlighted moment in the video featured a confrontation between Kiana and Blade, indicating that Honkai: Nexus Anima might emphasize combat and companion interactions more than its predecessors.
As of now, the release date and the official name remain uncertain. However, the anticipation for Honkai: Nexus Anima is palpable. While we await further details, don't miss out on our next update about the pre-registration of the Gothic Vampire RPG, Silver and Blood, on Android.
