HoYoverse has just unveiled a tantalizing teaser for the next installment in the Honkai universe, tentatively titled Honkai: Nexus Anima. This glimpse into the upcoming game has sparked intense speculation among fans eager to decipher what new gameplay elements it might introduce.
What Do We Know?
The teaser was first showcased during the Honkai: Star Rail second anniversary concert, where it was streamed live to an eager audience. As the concert drew to a close, viewers were greeted by the familiar voice of Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd, speaking in Chinese. The teaser featured Kiana standing at the entrance of a building, her adorable pet stealing the spotlight.
Following Kiana's appearance, Blade from Honkai: Star Rail made a cameo, hinting at a potential crossover between the two Honkai worlds in Nexus Anima. The trailer was brief but captivating, leaving much to the imagination. You can watch the teaser yourself right here to join in on the speculation.
Interestingly, no official title was announced during the stream. The teaser concluded with the message, 'A brand new Honkai game, stay tuned.' However, the name Honkai: Nexus Anima has been circulating widely, primarily because it surfaced earlier this year in job listings, trademark filings, and domain registrations, lending credibility to its use as the game's title.
Is It Going to be a Pokémon-Like?
The teaser has sparked comparisons to Pokémon, with many fans noting similarities in the concept of pet companions and trainer-style battles. A highlight of the video was a face-off between Kiana and Blade, suggesting that Nexus Anima might lean more towards combat and companion-based gameplay than its predecessors.
As of now, details like the release date and whether Nexus Anima is the final title remain undisclosed. This teaser has certainly piqued interest, and fans are eagerly awaiting more information.
