HoYoverse has registered the "Honkai Nexus Anima" trademark with the US Patent Office, potentially signaling a new addition to the Honkai franchise. Here's what this trademark filing could mean for miHoYo's upcoming projects.
Potential New Entry in Honkai Series
HoYoverse appears to be expanding its successful Honkai franchise with this new trademark filing. The application for "Honkai Nexus Anima" suggests this could become the third mainline installment in the series, following Honkai Impact 3rd (2016) and Honkai: Star Rail (2023). While concrete details remain undisclosed, the trademark documents were initially spotted on Korea's KIPRIS database before appearing on the USPTO website.
Social Media Presence Emerging
The company has secured multiple Twitter accounts under variations of @HonkaiNA, including regional versions like @HonkaiNA_RU and @HonkaiNA_FR. This social media registration typically precedes official game announcements in the industry.
Developer Job Listings Hint at Gameplay
Recent miHoYo job postings referenced an "auto-chess" style game featuring "Destined Spirits" combat mechanics. While unconfirmed, these positions may relate to Honkai Nexus Anima's development. The company has established a pattern of diversifying gameplay across its franchises, from Honkai Impact 3rd's action combat to Star Rail's turn-based system.
Considering miHoYo's successful track record with Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, industry observers anticipate this potential new title could follow similar cross-platform release strategies. The company currently maintains multiple global development projects including Zenless Zone Zero.
