MiHoYo has stirred excitement with a teaser for a brand-new Honkai game that hints at a Pokémon-like experience. Dive into the details of what was showcased in the trailer and explore the speculation around the rumored Honkai Nexus Anima.

Brand-New Honkai Game Teased

Possibly a Pokémon-like Game

During the Honkai Star Rail’s Concert livestream on May 4, miHoYo unveiled a tantalizing 20-second teaser. The clip featured iconic characters like Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd and Blade from Honkai: Star Rail, engaging in battles with creatures and monsters. This suggests that the upcoming game might embrace a Pokémon-like battler experience, possibly incorporating auto-chess strategies or monster-collecting mechanics.

This theme aligns well with the reception of creatures in miHoYo's previous titles. Both Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail have successfully introduced creatures that players adore. Genshin Impact, for instance, includes a monster-capturing feature within its Serenitea Pot housing system, and events like "Fabulous Fungus Frenzy" allow players to capture Fungus and compete in beast tamer tournaments.

Similarly, Honkai Star Rail's "Aetherium Wars" event utilized the game's turn-based mechanics, echoing the essence of Pokémon battles. The teaser for the new game also showcased silhouettes of various familiar characters, including a possible appearance by Aventurine from Star Rail, indicating a crossover of beloved characters from across the Honkai series.

While fans are eager to see if characters from Genshin Impact will join the fray, the trailer confirmed the inclusion of characters from Honkai Impact 3rd and Honkai Star Rail. This new game promises to be a thrilling addition to the Honkai universe.

Is this Honkai Nexus Anima?

Speculation is rife that this new game might be the rumored Honkai Nexus Anima, especially following miHoYo's recent trademark filing. Although details from the trademark remain sparse, the timing aligns closely with the teaser, fueling fan theories.

Further supporting these speculations are miHoYo's job listings from September 2024, as reported by Enduins Gaming. These listings hinted at various projects, including "Character Concept Art (Anthropomorphic Animals)" for a chibi-style life simulation and "Scene Concept Art – Honkai IP Pre-research" for fantasy spirit companions.

Given that miHoYo explicitly mentioned the teased game as a new Honkai game, many fans connect it to Honkai Nexus Anima. However, without official confirmation, these remain theories. The teaser has left fans with more questions than answers about the game's true nature and its potential as the rumored Honkai Nexus Anima.

Despite the uncertainty, the anticipation for this new game from miHoYo is palpable. With the company's track record of innovative and engaging titles, players eagerly await what promises to be a fresh and exciting addition to the Honkai series.
