HoYoverse has just announced that a new round of closed beta testing will open this July 2026 for its creature-collecting strategy game Honkai Nexus Anima.
Honkai Nexus Anima “Evolution Test” Details
The game’s “Evolution Test” will start on July 9, 2026, with pre-registration for the closed beta testing already open. Interested players who complete registration may get a chance to test out the game before it launches.
It will be a limited, free closed beta test with a data wipe, available across platforms such as PC, iOS, and Android devices.
In the Evolution Test, players step into the role of a plane-hopping traveler who has escaped captivity and set out from Iia, a quiet town in the Reality Plane. As the journey begins, the world of Honkai: Nexus Anima opens wider, revealing new stories, distinctive gameplay, and richer paths of exploration. Across the many Planes, Anima evolution stands among the world’s most wondrous phenomena. Each transformation is more than a change in form — it is a sign of the bond taking shape, as Anima grow stronger to protect the first moment that brought them and the player together. Beyond encountering Anima and forming lasting connections with them, players can preserve that moment through a unique photo and give each companion a name of its own. On especially fortunate days, they may even cross paths with a rare Chromatic Anima, turning an unexpected encounter into a memory unlike any other.
What is Honkai: Nexus Anima?
Honkai Nexus Anima is HoYoverse’s foray into the creature-collecting adventure strategy genre but placed within the Honkai universe.
In this world, Nexus refers to the unseen bonds woven between paired Aspects, such as Love and Hate, Light and Dark, and Reality and Illusion. After the Sundering, these bonds were shattered, and their remnant powers scattered across the world in the form of Anima. From this fractured order, players set out to forge bonds with Anima and harness the power of Aspects through them. These powers open up diverse battle tactics while shaping the way players explore, solve challenges, and engage with the expansive overworld. From quiet town benches and tree-lined paths to windows glowing with warm light, every place explored alongside an Anima bears witness to the unseen bonds of the Nexus. As players venture into uncharted realms, Anima stand with them in thrilling Nexus Battles and forge bonds that take root through each step into the unknown, while the truth buried within the player’s past slowly comes to light.
No details yet on when Honkai Nexus Anima will be launched across different platforms. But this is a chance to get to try the game out before the public does. You can pre-register here.
