MiHoYo has unveiled teasers for an upcoming Honkai title that appears to follow Pokémon-style gameplay mechanics. The trailer shown during Honkai Star Rail's concert has sparked theories about whether this could be the speculated Honkai Nexus Anima project.
New Honkai Game Revealed
Potential Pokémon-Inspired Mechanics
During Honkai Star Rail's May 4th concert livestream, miHoYo surprised fans with a 20-second preview featuring familiar characters like Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd and Blade from Honkai: Star Rail engaging in creature battles. The gameplay suggests possible monster-collecting mechanics resembling Pokémon's format.
The concept isn't entirely unexpected, as both Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail have previously incorporated creature-focused elements that resonated with players. These beloved mechanics might now evolve into a standalone experience.
The teaser concludes with silhouettes suggesting a crossover element, potentially including characters like Star Rail's Aventurine. While officially labeled simply as a "new Honkai game", community speculation suggests possible connections to the recent Honkai Nexus Anima trademark filing.
The timing aligns with miHoYo's recent job postings seeking artists specializing in anthropomorphic characters and fantasy companions, fueling theories about the game's potential direction.
While concrete details remain scarce, the teaser has generated significant excitement within the miHoYo community. Players eagerly await official confirmation about whether this project represents Honkai Nexus Anima or an entirely new venture.
