HoYoverse has just revealed more details about its upcoming title Honkai: Nexus Anima.
A new entry into the Honkai franchise, this time the game will feature creature-collecting and strategy elements in its gameplay.
What is Honkai: Nexus Anima?
Honkai: Nexus Anima was first teased during the anniversary concert of Honkai: Star Rail in May 2025. Now, the devs have given more details about the title. According to the release:
In Honkai: Nexus Anima, Nexus is the unseen bonds woven between paired concepts, such as Love and Hate, Light and Dark, Life and Death, among many others. However, this balance is unexpectedly shattered when a sudden rupture severs those connections, scattering their remnant powers across the land in the form of Anima. From this fractured order, players embark on a journey: through missions and combat, they forge bonds with these Anima, unlocking abilities that reflect the unique concepts each embodies. Moreover, these abilities can be combined to create diverse battle tactics and influence how players explore and engage with the expansive overworld.
In the game, players take on the role of a plane-hopping traveler who has escaped captivity, embarking on an all-new adventure. The journey begins in a tranquil town that opens into uncharted realms. As players advance, they encounter Anima companions with distinct personalities and forge bonds that carry through both exploration and combat. In Nexus Battles, these companions stand beside players as the story uncovers the mysteries of the protagonist’s past.
We shouldn’t forget that this is, in fact, another HoYoverse title, so we should expect gacha elements to come into play. Unfortunately, there’s no news about a time frame for release for Honkai: Nexus Anima.
