HoYoverse is inviting fans to form powerful bonds with mystical beings in their newly announced game, Honkai: Nexus Anima.
Revealed on August 29, 2025, Honkai: Nexus Anima is the latest title in the beloved Honkai franchise. First teased during Honkai: Star Rail‘s anniversary concert, this new entry takes players on a creature-collecting strategy adventure, set in a universe where metaphysical connections between contrasting concepts such as Life and Death have ruptured. From the chaos emerge Anima, mysterious companions with unique abilities that evolve based on the bonds you forge with them.
Players will take on the role of a plane-hopping traveler who has escaped captivity, exploring a beautifully crafted overworld filled with emotional storytelling, strategic battles, and the growing companionship of Anima. These bonds aren’t just for show—they’ll directly shape how players explore the game’s world and approach combat in Nexus Battles.
The closed beta, dubbed the Nexus Bond Test. The test is a closed beta with a data wipe, available on PC and iOS. A select number of players who pre-register and complete the questionnaire will be chosen to participate. Registration closes on 12 September. Find out more about the registration process here.
