Honkai: Nexus Anima Final Closed Beta Starting This Month

HoYoverse has announced a “final closed beta” for its upcoming creature-collecting title Honkai: Nexus Anima. The new beta will begin on November 25, 2026, on PC, Android, and iOS, with those interested in participating able to sign up through the game’s official website. The final closed beta will include an updated Event Bond system, new characters, new Anima, new locations, and additional gameplay elements. All player data will be wiped after the test ends.

Honkai: Nexus Anima is the latest title in the company’s Honkai franchise and is planned to release in spring 2027. The game is set in a world built around the balance of Nexus, unseen bonds woven between paired concepts such as love and hate, light and dark, etc. However, these bonds are suddenly severed, which scatters their powers in the form of creatures called Anima. Players control a plane-hopping traveler who has escaped captivity and embark on an adventure in this world, forging bonds with Anima and unlocking abilities reflecting the concepts housed within. Players participate in Nexus Battles with their Anima, while the story uncovers mysteries of their past.
