Honkai: Nexus Anima to Link Two Honkai Worlds in New Game

HoYoverse has unveiled an exciting teaser for the next chapter in the Honkai universe, introducing Honkai: Nexus Anima, the latest addition to the series. This teaser has sparked curiosity and speculation among fans eager to understand the gameplay and narrative it might offer.

What Do We Know?

The teaser for Honkai: Nexus Anima was first showcased during the Honkai: Star Rail second anniversary concert. As the event drew to a close, viewers were greeted by the familiar voice of Kiana in Chinese. The beloved character from Honkai Impact 3rd was seen standing at the entrance of a building, accompanied by her charming pet, capturing the audience's attention.

Following Kiana, Blade from Honkai: Star Rail made an appearance, hinting at a potential crossover between the two Honkai worlds within Nexus Anima. The trailer was brief, keeping much under wraps, but you can view it for yourself right here.

Interestingly, the stream did not confirm an official title. Instead, it concluded with the message, 'A brand new Honkai game, stay tuned.' However, the name Honkai: Nexus Anima has gained traction, primarily because it surfaced earlier this year in job listings and has since appeared in trademark filings and domain registrations, lending credibility to its use as the game's title.

Is It Going to be a Pokémon-Like?

If the teaser evoked Pokémon-like vibes for you, you're not alone. The inclusion of pet companions and the suggestion of trainer-style battles in the teaser does give off a Pokémon meets Honkai feel. A notable scene in the video featured a confrontation between Kiana and Blade, suggesting that Nexus Anima might emphasize combat and the role of companions more than previous Honkai titles.

As of now, details such as the release date and whether Nexus Anima will be the final name remain undisclosed. However, the teaser has certainly piqued interest!
