MiHoYo has unveiled a new Honkai game that appears to feature Pokémon-style gameplay. Explore what the teaser trailer revealed about this potentially revolutionary title, suspected to be the rumored Honkai Nexus Anima.
New Honkai Project Announced
Potential Monster-Taming Gameplay
miHoYo unveiled their upcoming title featuring beloved characters from the Honkai series. During the May 4 Honkai Star Rail Concert livestream, developers released a cryptic 20-second teaser showing Kiana Kaslana (Honkai Impact 3rd) and Blade (Honkai: Star Rail) commanding creatures in combat.
The teaser suggests gameplay reminiscent of monster-collecting RPGs like Pokémon, potential auto-battler mechanics, or tactical creature battles. This direction would naturally extend from existing creature mechanics in miHoYo's other titles.
Both Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail have previously experimented with monster-related gameplay. Genshin's Serenitea Pot housing system allows players to capture overworld creatures, while the "Fabulous Fungus Frenzy" event hosted monster-taming tournaments.
Honkai Star Rail's "Aetherium Wars" event further demonstrated the team's interest in turn-based creature combat, mirroring Pokémon's core mechanics.
The teaser culminates with cryptic character silhouettes, potentially including Star Rail's Aventurine among other franchise favorites. While officially labeled a "brand-new Honkai Game," players speculate whether Genshin characters might eventually appear.
Possible Honkai Nexus Anima Connection
Many believe this project may be the trademarked "Honkai Nexus Anima" spotted weeks prior. Though official details remain scarce, the timing aligns with recent leaks.
Previous job postings from HoYoVerse indicated development of multiple projects, including character artists for anthropomorphic animals and concept designers for fantasy companions - strongly suggesting creature-based gameplay.
While unconfirmed whether this is indeed Honkai Nexus Anima, miHoYo's track record promises innovation. With more questions than answers currently, players eagerly await official announcements about this potential new creature-collecting experience.
