MiHoYo, the mastermind company behind gacha gems like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, is back in the limelight with a brand-new game: a Pokemon-style creature collector.
Honkai: Nexus Anima is the name the developers have given to their new "creature-collector adventure strategy game," as it's described online. Although its reveal feels like it popped up out of the blue with a video post showcasing in-game footage, it's admittedly adorable – a cute entry in the ever-popular genre housing icons like Nintendo's beloved Pokemon series and, more recently, Pocketpair's own survival mashup Palworld.
