New Honkai Game Announced and It Might Look Familiar to Pokemon Fans
[summaraize]
In a rather unexpected and surprising reveal during the second anniversary Honkai: Star Rail concert, HoYoverse has revealed a brand-new Honkai game.
While it doesn’t have a name yet, the teaser trailer features familiar characters from other Honkai games and hints at characters doing battle with creatures, rather than with each other.
New Honkai Game Might Be a Spin on Pokémon
For those who know, the two characters are from other Honkai games. Kiana is from Honkai Impact 3rd, and Blade is from Honkai: Star Rail. In almost all of the Honkai games, and HoYoverse games in general, the characters are the ones doing the combat. But as we saw in this very short teaser, it looks like they’ll be taking a bit of a backseat, and instead will battle with creatures.
That sounds a lot like Pokémon, though, of course, we’ll have to wait and see just how similar it is and if it’ll feature any creature capturing. Ironically, if this is a Pokémon-inspired game of some sort, Shinichiro Miki, Blade’s voice actor in Japan, also happened to be the Japanese voice of our favorite Team Rocket member, James. It’s almost like coming full circle for him!
There’s no official title for the new game, nor did HoYoverse hint at when we can expect to see more of it. Safe to assume it will be coming to PC, Mobile, and Consoles, though it may come to PlayStation first for the console, if any of the studio’s past releases are any indicator.
We’ll keep an eye on this. In the meantime, Genshin Impact players will have the new update to look forward to next week.
