HoYoverse is now recruiting participants for a new closed beta test of its upcoming game, "Collapse: Nexus Anima"! The test will begin on July 9.

HoYoverse has announced that it will hold a new closed beta test, the " Evolution Test," for the Anima-raising adventure strategy game *Honkai: Nexus Anima* starting on Thursday, July 9, 2026.
The test will be available on PC, Android, and iOS, and players can apply via the registration survey on the official website.

Recruitment for the new closed beta test of "Honkai: Nexus Anima" has begun!

" Honkai: Nexus Anima " is a brand-new Anima-raising adventure strategy game in the "Honkai" series developed by HoYoverse.
The story begins when the "Nexus"—an entity that connects opposing Primordial Concepts—shattered due to the Collapse and transformed into unique lifeforms known as " Nexus Anima."
By forming a “Nexus Link” with an Anima, players can wield the power of the Primordial and, in addition to battling and exploring, uncover the truth about their own past while bonding with their Anima.

In this evolution test, players become “Dimension Travelers” who have escaped confinement, and a new adventure begins in “Ia Town,” located in the real-world Dimension Realm.
The evolution of Anima is considered one of the most mysterious phenomena in each dimension. In addition to forming “Nexus Links” with the Anima you encounter during your adventure, you can take special photos and give them names of your own choosing.
On a lucky day, you might even be able to form a Nexus Link with a rare-colored Anima.

PR TIMES

Ia Town, the starting point of your journey, will be fully revealed during this test.
In addition to exploring the bustling streets of the New Town and its unique commercial districts, you can visit iconic locations such as the Nexus Hall and the Shin Nexus Society building, where you’ll encounter key characters from various factions.
As you progress on your journey, you’ll also meet new companions such as Nanafi, Shiraume, and Fushigatake.

The “Evolution Test” is a closed beta test with no in-app purchases and data deletion; participation slots will be distributed via lottery to a select group of players who have completed pre-registration and answered the survey.
The test will begin on Thursday, July 9, 2026, and will be available on PC, Android, and iOS.
The specific test schedule will be announced at a later date.
