HoYoverse, the gaming giant behind hits like Honkai Impact 3rd and Honkai: Star Rail, has officially trademarked a new title: Honkai: Nexus Anima. The trademark was filed on April 25, 2025, in China, adding more weight to growing speculations about their next big project.
Although details are still under wraps, the name itself suggests a strong link to the existing Honkai universe. Fans immediately noticed the familiar “Honkai” branding, sparking theories about its place in the larger storyline!
What Honkai: Nexus Anima Might Be
At this stage, no gameplay footage or official descriptions have been released. However, the community is buzzing with educated guesses.
Some insiders suggest that Nexus Anima could be the rumored creature-collection RPG that HoYoverse has been quietly developing. Recent additions like memorsprites and chimeras in Amphoreus and bangboo companions in Zenless Zone Zero hint at a growing interest in critter-based mechanics.
Imagine a Honkai game where instead of collecting weapons, you summon and evolve fantastical creatures. Think Pokémon, but with HoYoverse’s signature polish!
Possible Character Connections
Long-time fans are wondering: could familiar faces from Honkai: Star Rail return?
Characters like Bronya, Himeko, and Seele have massive fanbases. It wouldn’t be shocking if Nexus Anima reimagined or reintroduced them in a new, creature-collecting setting. HoYoverse loves weaving beloved characters into new timelines and universes — and players love it even more!
What’s Next?
Although we’re still waiting for an official reveal, the fact that social media accounts have already been registered for Honkai: Nexus Anima means an announcement could come sooner rather than later.
For now, keep an eye on HoYoverse’s official channels.
