Honkai: Nexus Anima Launches in Spring 2027, Final Closed Beta Test Announced

HoYoverse has announced that open-world creature-catching adventure RPG Honkai: Nexus Anima will launch in spring 2027 for PC, Android and iOS. A Honkai: Nexus Anima “Final Closed Beta” test will begin on November 25, with a recruitment questionnaire now available on the game’s official website.

The Honkai: Nexus Anima Final Closed Beta is a limited-slot test with a data wipe at the end. A selection of players who filled out the questionnaire will be granted test access, and before the test starts, they will be notified through the eligibility checker, email, SMS, and other channels. Details of the test schedule will be revealed at a later date. In terms of content, the test will include new characters, Anima, areas, and gameplay features. 

Here’s an overview of Final Closed Beta, via HoYoverse:

In the Final Closed Beta, players take on the role of an Animaster and set out from the town of Iia on a brand-new adventure. This test features more captivating stories, distinctive gameplay, and richer exploration than any before it, painting a fuller picture of the world of Honkai: Nexus Anima. Players will not only unlock new chapters of the adventure, but also meet new faces along the way — some companions, others formidable rivals. Each brings a past and a stance of their own, adding more unknowns and possibilities to the journey ahead.

As the adventure unfolds, Iia, where the journey begins, will reveal more of itself: from the stately halls of a traditional bank, to the bustling floors of a high-rise office building, all the way to a breezy lighthouse island. Across these varied settings, players will get a feel for the distinct atmosphere and warmth of every corner of town. Of course, no matter how long the journey, every traveler needs a place to stop and recharge: in this test, players can head to their own RV for a rest at any time, or build habitats for their Anima as they explore the map. Out exploring, players may also come across Anima in their Chromatic forms. More juvenile Anima will join the adventure too, traveling at players’ side and facing challenges with them, so players can witness every step of their growth from fledgling to formidable. The Eidos Event Bond and Anima Event Bond are also being adjusted: the first 5-star Eidos or Anima a player obtains is guaranteed to be the current limited one, and obtaining the current limited Eidos also lets them claim the matching Anima Companion for free.

Beyond the joy of new encounters, this test also deepens the ways Anima keep players company — holding hands, hugging, being hoisted high in the air by an Anima. More of these interactions will unlock one by one, making every step together feel that much more real. Finally, combat is getting an upgrade too. The brand-new Nexus Arena mode officially launches: players can put together any lineup they like, get matched against opponents, and push for higher ranks. The open world and the various challenge stages will also see tougher enemies, for a more demanding combat experience.
