HoYoverse recently revealed its next significant game during a concert for Honkai: Star Rail, teasing a Pokemon-like experience set within the Honkai universe. The trailer showcased various characters from the Honkai franchise, prominently featuring Kiana and Blade alongside their respective animal companions. This development has generated excitement among fans, particularly as speculation surrounding a new title, rumored to be “Honkai: Nexus Anima,” has circulated for months. The Shanghai-based developer, HoYoverse, has emerged as a major player in the online gaming industry.
After the phenomenal success of Genshin Impact in 2020, the studio continued to thrive with titles like Honkai: Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero. With this new unveiling, HoYoverse aims to keep the momentum going and keep fans engaged with its expanding universe. The concert, titled “Star Rail Live,” not only teased the upcoming game but also revealed exciting details about a collaboration with the Fate/Stay Night franchise, which will debut in Honkai: Star Rail later this year. Playable versions of iconic characters like Saber and Archer were showcased, and new in-game events inspired by the Fate series were announced.
However, the highlight was undoubtedly the sneak peek of the new Pokemon-like game, which left fans eager for more information. Although the teaser trailer provided limited details, it sparked significant interest among gamers. The inclusion of animal companions in the trailer for Kiana and Blade hints at the new gameplay mechanics expected in the upcoming title. Furthermore, while no official release window was provided, the anticipation for “Honkai: Nexus Anima” continues to grow, particularly as HoYoverse celebrates the successes of its existing titles, including the upcoming anniversaries for Honkai: Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero.
