HoYoverse's filing of the Honkai Nexus Anima trademark has sparked excitement among fans, hinting at a potential new addition to the renowned Honkai series. This move by miHoYo and its global arm, HoYoverse, could signify the expansion of their beloved universe. Here's what you need to know about this development and what it might mean for future projects.
New HoYoverse Game Possibly In The Works
Honkai Nexus Anima Filed For Trademark
HoYoverse is set to broaden its Honkai universe with a new title, tentatively named "Honkai Nexus Anima." The trademark was initially spotted on the Korea Intellectual Property Information Search's (KIPRIS) website before being removed. However, the application remains active on the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s (USPTO) website, confirming the company's plans.
The Honkai series has a rich history, starting with Honkai Impact 3rd, a free-to-play mobile action RPG, followed by Honkai Star Rail in 2023, which introduced turn-based gameplay. Both games, while sharing thematic elements and some character designs, exist in separate universes and offer unique narratives. Fans are buzzing with theories that Honkai Nexus Anima might introduce a new genre to the series, given miHoYo's track record of innovation.
New Twitter (X) Accounts
In the wake of the trademark filings, new Twitter (X) accounts with names like "@HonkaiNA", "@HonkaiNA_RU", and "@HonkaiNA_FR" have surfaced. These accounts, presumably created to reserve usernames, suggest HoYoverse's intent to maintain a consistent brand presence across various social media platforms as they prepare for the game's launch.
miHoYo Recent Job Postings
Earlier this year, miHoYo's job listings hinted at the development of an "auto-chess" game featuring "Destined Spirits." Although direct access to these listings is no longer available, the information has fueled speculation that Honkai Nexus Anima could be this new auto-chess title. While HoYoverse has not yet made an official announcement, the community is optimistic about the potential success of this new project, given the company's successful history with titles like Honkai Impact 3rd, Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero.
