Honkai: Nexus Anima Connects Game Universes

HoYoverse has finally unveiled a teaser for the next chapter in the Honkai universe. Titled Honkai: Nexus Anima, this upcoming installment offers a brief glimpse into its world, leaving fans eagerly speculating about its potential gameplay mechanics.

What Do We Know?

The teaser premiered live during the Honkai: Star Rail second anniversary concert. As the show concluded, viewers heard Kiana's voice greeting them in Chinese. The Honkai Impact 3rd character was shown standing at a building's entrance, her adorable companion by her side.

The scene then shifted to Blade from Honkai: Star Rail, strongly hinting at a narrative connection between the two Honkai worlds in Nexus Anima. The trailer itself remains deliberately cryptic. Why not watch it for yourself right here?

Notably, no official title was announced during the stream. The teaser simply concludes with the message, 'A brand new Honkai game, stay tuned.' However, the name Honkai: Nexus Anima is currently circulating widely.

This is because it first appeared earlier this year in company job listings. The name has also surfaced in trademark filings and domain registrations, lending significant credibility to it being the game's final title.

Will It Feature Pokémon-Style Gameplay?

If the teaser gave you Pokémon-like impressions, you're certainly not alone. The footage evokes a sense of Pokémon meeting Honkai, particularly with its emphasis on pet companions and trainer-style confrontations.

The video even showcased a direct clash between Kiana and Blade, suggesting the game may prioritize combat and companion dynamics more heavily than previous series entries.

For now, details regarding its release window or even the final confirmation of the Nexus Anima name remain under wraps. Nevertheless, the prospect is incredibly intriguing!
