Preview: Honkai: Nexus Anima Is HoYoverse at Its Weirdest, and PS5 Owners Need to See It
HoYoverse has an upcoming auto-battler game called Honkai: Nexus Anima that draws inspiration from Pokémon mechanics. The game was demonstrated at Gamescom, where a writer from Push Square had hands-on time with the latest build.
Initially skeptical about the project when it was first announced, the writer has developed a more favorable impression after experiencing the game firsthand. The title is described as representing “HoYoverse at its weirdest,” suggesting the developer is pushing into unconventional creative territory with this release.
The preview emphasizes that PlayStation 5 owners should take note of the game, indicating it will be coming to that platform. The combination of auto-battler mechanics with Pokémon-style elements positions Honkai: Nexus Anima as a distinctive entry in HoYoverse’s portfolio, representing an interesting experiment as the developer continues to expand into different game genres.
