HoYoverse has thrilled fans by unveiling a teaser for the next chapter in the Honkai universe: the highly anticipated game tentatively titled Honkai: Nexus Anima. The teaser, which surfaced during the Honkai: Star Rail second anniversary concert, offers a tantalizing glimpse into what players can expect from this upcoming installment in the series.

The teaser concluded the concert with Kiana, a beloved character from Honkai Impact 3rd, greeting the audience in Chinese. She was depicted standing at the entrance of a building, accompanied by her charming pet. Adding to the excitement, Blade from Honkai: Star Rail also made an appearance, suggesting a narrative link between the two worlds within the Honkai universe. While the trailer was brief and left much to the imagination, you can watch it for yourself [ttpp].

Although no official title was announced during the stream, the teaser hinted at 'A brand new Honkai game, stay tuned.' The name Honkai: Nexus Anima has gained traction among fans, primarily due to its earlier mention in job listings, trademark filings, and domain registrations, lending credibility to the speculation that this could indeed be the final name.

If the teaser has sparked Pokémon-like vibes for you, you're not alone. The visual and thematic elements, including pet companions and trainer-style battles, suggest a blend of Pokémon's charm with Honkai's signature combat intensity. A highlighted battle between Kiana and Blade further hints that Nexus Anima might emphasize combat and companion dynamics more than its predecessors.

While the release date and official title remain under wraps, the anticipation for Honkai: Nexus Anima continues to build. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new addition to the Honkai universe.
