HoYoverse has just unveiled a tantalizing teaser for the next installment in the Honkai universe, tentatively titled Honkai: Nexus Anima. This exciting reveal occurred during the second anniversary concert of Honkai: Star Rail, where fans were treated to a glimpse of what's to come in this upcoming game. The teaser, featuring Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd, showcases her standing at a building's doorway, accompanied by her adorable pet, hinting at a new direction for the series. Following this, Blade from Honkai: Star Rail makes an appearance, suggesting a potential crossover between the two Honkai worlds in Nexus Anima.
While the teaser didn't reveal much about the gameplay, it has sparked considerable speculation among fans. You can watch the teaser yourself [ttpp] to see what it's all about. Interestingly, no official title was announced during the stream; instead, the teaser concluded with the message, 'A brand new Honkai game, stay tuned.' However, the name 'Honkai: Nexus Anima' has been circulating, first appearing in job listings earlier this year and later in trademark filings and domain registrations, lending credibility to the speculation.
The teaser has led some to draw parallels with Pokémon, due to the presence of pet companions and what appears to be trainer-style battles. A highlighted moment in the video shows a battle between Kiana and Blade, suggesting that Nexus Anima might focus more on combat and companions than its predecessors in the Honkai series.
As of now, release dates and the official title remain under wraps, but the anticipation for Honkai: Nexus Anima is palpable. While we await further details, don't miss out on our next exciting update about the pre-registration for the Gothic Vampire RPG, Silver and Blood, on Android.
