Honkai: Nexus Anima is a new game work for Honkai IP. From the newly revealed game promotional images, it can be seen that the game breaks genre boundaries with "creature collection + auto chess + open world." As for miHoYo's upcoming new game, there has been a lot of leaked information online recently. Let's combine all the information to speculate on the potential launch characters and gameplay of Honkai: Nexus Anima!

Characters Leaked
First of all, there’s no need to introduce Blade and Kiana—they’re characters from Honkai: Star Rail and Honkai Impact 3rd. It’s believed that the crossover within the Honkai series will make the story of Honkai: Nexus Anima even more exciting.
Following closely will likely be the main protagonists of Nexus Anima!
● A girl with a ribbon, pink long hair, and a short skirt—she’s likely one of the main characters, as she appeared on the promotional cover.
● Another is a golden-haired, red-eyed boy carrying an umbrella, also positioned as a central protagonist. His character design is quite impressive and definitely something to look forward to.
The image shows potential characters.
First, a blue-haired girl with twin cat tails. In the previous promotional PV, this girl made an appearance—though only from behind—and her outfit features a very bright color scheme!
Next is a boy wearing a bread-themed hat, with a toaster on his back as a standout detail. He seems to be a highly distinctive character.
A demon-style girl with twin tails. Her overall aesthetic is quite different from the previous character, leaning more toward a dark color scheme. With pointed horns on her head and a black Lolita-style outfit, her design is highly striking.

Gameplay mechanism
According to Ubatcha,
- There will be no signature weapons or relics in Honkai Nexus Anima.
- Monsters are AI only.
- There are eidolons in the game and gacha-drawn characters. These determine the leader options available to you.
- CO-OP is optional.
So, in a game centered around Nexus Anima, the role of characters is likely secondary—they may provide additional bonuses to their corresponding Nexus Anima. Therefore, the key focus may lie in how characters and Nexus Anima coordinate to drive the gameplay forward.
Additionally, based on the image above, we can reasonably speculate that Honkai: Nexus Anima may retain mechanics such as open-world exploration. However, unlike characters traversing the world alone to complete tasks, it's possible that in Honkai: Nexus Anima, characters will pilot Nexus Anima to fly over the open world, enhancing the fun and novelty of gameplay.
Conclusion
Although it remains unclear how Nexus Anima will be obtained in the new game, the emergence of promotional images (wherever they may have appeared) and the renewal of the Honkai: Nexus Anima official account membership in China suggest that the first official PV may be released soon. As the launch of Honkai: Nexus Anima approaches, details regarding gameplay and how to acquire Nexus Anima will likely become clearer.
