"Honkai: Nexus Anima" Set for Release in Spring 2027! "Final Beta Test" Starts November 25

"Honkai: Nexus Anima" is a brand-new RPG in the "Honkai" series developed by HoYoverse.
Players will arrive in Ia Town as Anima Masters and set out on new adventures alongside the Anima.
Pre-registration is already open on the App Store.

Following the “Evolution Test” held in July 2026, this Final Beta Test delves deeper into the game’s core systems and story.
The game is available on PC, Android, and iOS. Players can apply by completing the application survey on the official game website.
A select number of players chosen by lottery from among the respondents will be granted access to the test, and winners will be notified via the eligibility inquiry system, email, SMS, or other means.
The test will begin on Wednesday, November 25, 2026, and the specific test schedule will be announced at a later date.

New experiences, such as camper vans and habitats, have been added

In Ia Town, the starting point of your journey, you’ll be able to visit an even wider variety of areas, including the lobby of the Traditional Bank, office buildings, and an island with a lighthouse.
You’ll have your own camper van where you can stop and rest at any time during your adventure, and you can also build habitats for Anima by exploring the map.

In the field, you’ll occasionally encounter Anima with different color variations, and juvenile Anima have also been added this time.
As you adventure together, you’ll be able to witness the moment when a young Anima evolves.

The experience of traveling with Anima has been enhanced, featuring new ways to interact, such as holding hands, picking them up, or being lifted by them.
This makes the time you spend together feel more real than ever before.
