Exciting developments are emerging from HoYoverse as new reports surface about a potential addition to the *Honkai* series. The company has filed a trademark for "Honkai Nexus Anima" with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), sparking widespread speculation among fans about what this could mean for miHoYo’s expanding universe of games.
Could This Be A New Entry In The Honkai Franchise?
The filing of the Honkai Nexus Anima trademark suggests that miHoYo may be preparing a third installment in its popular *Honkai* franchise. If so, it would follow the success of *Honkai Impact 3rd* and *Honkai Star Rail*, both of which have amassed large global audiences since their respective launches.
While no official details have been released about the gameplay or story of *Honkai Nexus Anima*, the name itself hints at a possible narrative or thematic continuation within the broader *Honkai* universe. Given miHoYo's history of delivering high-quality, genre-diverse experiences, fans are eagerly speculating whether this next title will introduce an entirely new gameplay style while maintaining the signature visual flair and storytelling depth the studio is known for.
Trademark Details Surface Across Multiple Regions
Initial information regarding *Honkai Nexus Anima* came from the Korea Intellectual Property Information Search (KIPRIS) database, although the listing was later removed. However, the U.S. trademark remains publicly available on the USPTO website, confirming the legitimacy of the filing and indicating potential global ambitions for the game.
This kind of multi-region trademarking is typical for HoYoverse when launching a new project, especially one intended for international release. It also aligns with miHoYo’s strategy of building a cohesive brand presence across all platforms and regions before officially announcing a new title.
Social Media Accounts Begin To Appear
In line with the trademark filings, new social media accounts under the name “Honkai Nexus Anima” have appeared on Twitter (X). These include handles like @HonkaiNA, @HonkaiNA_RU, and @HonkaiNA_FR, suggesting regional targeting and a coordinated branding effort.
Such early social media activity often signals that a publisher is securing online identities ahead of a future launch, helping to ensure consistency across platforms and avoid confusion with similar-sounding names or fan-run pages.
Clues From Recent Job Postings
Earlier this year, miHoYo posted several job listings that hinted at internal development work on a new project. One particularly intriguing posting suggested they were working on an **auto-chess-style** game featuring characters known as "Destined Spirits" in battle. While these details remain unconfirmed and speculative, some fans have linked this project to *Honkai Nexus Anima*.
If true, this would mark another bold move from miHoYo into a different gameplay format—showcasing their willingness to explore diverse genres beyond action RPGs and turn-based adventures. Until an official announcement is made, however, these connections remain part of the growing buzz around the upcoming title.
What Can Fans Expect Next?
Although HoYoverse has not yet confirmed any direct link between *Honkai Nexus Anima* and the rumored auto-chess title, the timing of these events has generated significant excitement. With miHoYo’s track record of producing globally successful titles such as *Genshin Impact*, *Zenless Zone Zero*, *Honkai Impact 3rd*, and *Honkai Star Rail*, expectations are naturally high.
Fans are now watching closely for more clues—whether through future trademarks, job postings, or even subtle hints embedded in existing games. As always, miHoYo knows how to build anticipation, and *Honkai Nexus Anima* may just be the next big chapter in their evolving gaming universe.
