HoYoverse announced on November 5 that it has begun recruiting participants for the Final Beta test of its creature-collecting adventure game, Honkai: Nexus Anima. The test will run from November 25 across Android, iOS, and PC.
Interested players can fill out a recruitment survey on the official website, with test access granted via a random draw. Player data will be wiped at the end of the test. The game is scheduled to launch in spring 2027.
This test features an expanded story alongside new characters, Anima, and regions. Exploration areas have also been expanded. New spaces such as a traditional bank lobby, an office building, and a lighthouse island have been added to the starting area, Iya Village, along with dedicated camper vans for resting during the adventure and content for building Anima habitats.
In the field, players can discover Chroma variants and new juvenile Anima. Players will continue their journey alongside their Anima through growth and evolution. New interaction features have been added, including holding hands, hugging, and asking Anima to lift the player into the air.
For combat content, the game introduces Nexus Arena, where players can freely assemble a team to battle matched opponents and challenge higher tiers. The open world and various challenge stages will feature even stronger enemies than before.
The acquisition methods for 'Limited Bond: Mindscape' and 'Limited Bond: Anima' have also been adjusted. The first 5-star Mindscape and Anima obtained from each Limited Bond event are guaranteed to be the featured limited Mindscape and limited Anima for that period.
Detailed information about the test and the game can be found on the official Honkai: Nexus Anima website and official social media channels.
