On April 25, 2025, miHoYo applied for a trademark application for Honkai: Nexus Anima, hinting at the next game in the franchise. It also created multiple X (formerly Twitter) s for the IP, and may be hiring more employees to work on it. [Thanks, Gacha News!]
On March 4, 2025, X “chibi0108” posted job openings at miHoYo for a “new Honkai auto chess title.” The ment was looking for level planners, 3D animators, game testers, game server developers, and more. It also gave some more details on what kind of game it is. According to the project details, you will explore a “tranquil seaside town and diverse locations,” as well as “collect Destined Spirits.” You can also raise these Destined Spirits to create your own teams to use in “thrilling auto chess battles.” There is also an exploration element, in which you can discover hidden secrets about the world while flying, gliding, and surfing.
There is virtually no official information as of yet regarding Honkai: Nexus Anima. So more details about the gameplay, characters, and such will need to wait until HoYoVerse makes an announcement. If it’s a part of the Honkai IP, though, we may see expies and recurring themes, much like how familiar faces from Honkai Impact 3rd appear in Honkai: Star Rail.
More information on Honkai: Nexus Anima will appear in the future. It will likely appear on mobile devices and the Windows PC, much like a lot of HoYoVerse’s other current projects.
