HoYoverse has just unveiled a teaser for the next installment in the Honkai series, tentatively titled Honkai: Nexus Anima. This exciting reveal came during the Honkai: Star Rail second anniversary concert, where fans were treated to a glimpse of what's to come. The teaser, featuring Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd and her adorable pet, hints at a new direction for the franchise. As Kiana stands at the entrance of a mysterious building, the scene shifts to introduce Blade from Honkai: Star Rail, suggesting a potential crossover between the two Honkai worlds in Nexus Anima.
While the teaser was light on details, it has sparked a flurry of speculation among fans. You can watch the teaser [ttpp] to see for yourself. Interestingly, the official stream did not confirm the game's title, instead teasing it as 'A brand new Honkai game, stay tuned.' However, the name Honkai: Nexus Anima has been circulating due to its appearance in earlier job listings, trademark filings, and domain registrations, lending credibility to the name.
The teaser has led some to draw comparisons to Pokémon, given the presence of pet companions and what appears to be trainer-style battles. A notable scene featuring a confrontation between Kiana and Blade further fuels speculation that Nexus Anima might emphasize combat and companion dynamics more than its predecessors.
As of now, there's no confirmed release date or final title for Honkai: Nexus Anima, but the teaser has certainly piqued interest. Stay tuned for more updates on this intriguing new addition to the Honkai universe.
