Key Takeaways

  • HoYoverse revealed a new Honkai game during the Honkai: Star Rail second anniversary concert.
  • The teaser trailer features Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd and Blade from Honkai: Star Rail.
  • Characters will battle with creatures instead of each other, potentially similar to Pokémon.
  • Shinichiro Miki, Blade’s Japanese voice actor, also voiced James from Team Rocket.
  • No official title or release date was announced, but it’s expected to be on PC, Mobile, and Consoles.

During an unanticipated and astonishing moment at the Honkai: Star Rail’s second anniversary celebration, HoYoverse announced a fresh Honkai game.

Though it remains unnamed for now, the brief preview showcases figures known from previous Honkai games, suggesting they’ll be engaging in combat against monstrous beings, instead of fighting one another.

New Honkai Game Might Be a Spin on Pokémon

For those familiar, these two figures hail from distinct Honkai series: Kiana originates from Honkai Impact 3rd, while Blade comes from Honkai: Star Rail. Typically, in Honkai games, including HoYoverse productions, characters are the ones engaged in combat. However, this brief teaser suggests a shift in dynamics, implying that they might not be directly involved in the fighting this time around, but rather battling against mythical creatures instead.

This game seems quite reminiscent of Pokémon, but we’ll need to observe more closely to determine how similar it is and whether it includes creature capturing. Interestingly, if this game turns out to be a spin-off of Pokémon, Shinichiro Miki – the Japanese voice actor for Blade – coincidentally played James, one of our beloved Team Rocket members in the original series. It’s almost as if his career has come full circle!

The title for the upcoming game hasn’t been announced yet, and HoYoverse hasn’t provided a release date either. However, we can expect it to be available on PC, mobile devices, and consoles. It’s possible that it might debut first on PlayStation, based on the company’s previous releases.

We’ll be monitoring this situation closely. In the interim, Genshin Impact enthusiasts can anticipate a fresh update arriving next week.
