Honkai Nexus Anima Compared to Pokemon LIVE 2025

Honkai Nexus Anima Rumored as Pokémon-Style Game Based on Star Rail LIVE 2025 Teaser

MiHoYo has unveiled a mysterious new Honkai project that appears to feature Pokémon-like gameplay elements. The recent trailer hints this could be the rumored Honkai Nexus Anima title fans have been speculating about.

MiHoYo Reveals New Honkai Project

Potential Monster-Taming Gameplay

Honkai Characters Seen Commanding Creatures in New Game Teaser

During the Honkai Star Rail concert livestream, MiHoYo showcased a brief 20-second preview featuring familiar faces: Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd and Blade from Honkai: Star Rail, both overseeing creature battles.

The teaser suggests either monster-collecting mechanics similar to Pokémon, auto-chess strategy elements, or creature battle systems. This direction isn't entirely unexpected, given how both Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail have incorporated popular creature mechanics in past updates.

Genshin Impact previously introduced monster-capturing through its Serenitea Pot housing feature, along with the "Fabulous Fungus Frenzy" event that focused on collecting and battling mushroom creatures. Similarly, Honkai Star Rail's "Aetherium Wars" event implemented turn-based monster battles reminiscent of classic creature-collecting RPGs.

Silhouette of Aventurine Spotted in New Honkai Game Teaser

The teaser concludes with shadowed figures of additional characters, potentially including Star Rail's Aventurine. While officially labeled as a "brand-new Honkai Game," many fans hope for potential Genshin Impact crossovers, though current evidence points to mainly Honkai universe characters appearing.

Possible Connection to Honkai Nexus Anima

MiHoYo Recently Trademarked Honkai Nexus Anima Name

Community speculation suggests this could be the recently trademarked Honkai Nexus Anima project. The timing of this teaser aligns closely with MiHoYo's recent intellectual property filings, though no official confirmation exists yet.

Previous job postings from HoYoVerse lend credibility to these theories. In September 2024, listings mentioned developing "anthropomorphic animal" characters for a chibi-style life simulator and "fantasy spirit companions" - concepts that potentially match the creature-battling system seen in the teaser.

Fans Speculate About New Honkai Game Mechanics

While the teaser confirms a new Honkai project is in development, many questions remain unanswered. The potential connection to Honkai Nexus Anima remains speculative, but given MiHoYo's track record, fans anticipate another polished gaming experience regardless of the final title.
