HoYoverse Files Trademark for Honkai Nexus Anima at US Patent Office

HoYoverse, the global arm of Chinese game developer miHoYo, has filed a trademark for Honkai Nexus Anima, sparking excitement and speculation about the future of the Honkai series. This move hints at an exciting new addition to their portfolio, promising more immersive experiences for fans of the Honkai universe.

New HoYoverse Game Possibly In The Works

Honkai Nexus Anima Filed For Trademark

HoYoverse is set to expand its Honkai universe with a potential new game, following the success of Honkai Impact 3rd and Honkai Star Rail. The trademark application for "Honkai Nexus Anima" was initially spotted on the Korea Intellectual Property Information Search's (KIPRIS) website before being removed, but remains listed on the United States Patent and Trademark Office's (USPTO) site.

The Honkai series began with Honkai Impact 3rd, a free-to-play mobile action RPG and the spiritual successor to Houkai Gakuen 2. This was followed by Honkai Star Rail in 2023, another free-to-play mobile game featuring turn-based combat. While both games share themes related to space and sometimes characters, they exist in distinct universes with unique narratives. Fans are eager to see if Honkai Nexus Anima will continue this trend, possibly introducing a new genre given miHoYo’s diverse game development history.

New Twitter (X) Accounts

In anticipation of the new game, fans have noticed the creation of new Twitter (X) accounts named after Honkai Nexus Anima. These accounts, such as "@HonkaiNA", "@HonkaiNA_RU", and "@HonkaiNA_FR", suggest HoYoverse's strategy to secure social media presence and ensure consistent branding across different regions.

miHoYo Recent Job Postings

Earlier this year, miHoYo released multiple job listings hinting at their upcoming projects. Notably, a listing mentioned an "auto-chess" game featuring "Destined Spirits." Although these listings are no longer directly accessible, and thus remain speculative, fans have connected these hints to Honkai Nexus Anima. Given miHoYo's successful track record with games like Honkai Impact 3rd, Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero, there is high anticipation for their next venture.

Despite the lack of official announcements, the buzz around Honkai Nexus Anima continues to grow, fueled by miHoYo's reputation for creating engaging and innovative gaming experiences.
