HoYoverse, the Global Interactive Entertainment brand, has announced a new game. Titled Honkai: Nexus Anima, it continues the Honkai universe through a creature-collecting adventure strategy game. Although it doesn’t have a release date, player registration is now open to participate in the Nexus Bond Test, its first closed beta for iOS and PC. Users have until September 12 to register by visiting the official website.
As defined by HoYoverse, Honkai: Nexus Anima will be a game that will take us on a completely new adventure, highlighting its innovative gameplay and a compelling story. Below, you can read the official information shared by HoYoverse.
Honkai: Nexus Anima is a brand-new creature-collector adventure strategy game in the Honkai series. In this world, Nexus is the unseen bonds woven between paired concepts, such as Love and Hate, Light and Dark, Life and Death, among many others. However, this balance is unexpectedly shattered when a sudden rupture severs those connections, scattering their remnant powers across the land in the form of Anima.
From this fractured order, players embark on a journey: through missions and combat, they forge bonds with these Anima, unlocking abilities that reflect the unique concepts each embodies. Moreover, these abilities can be combined to create diverse battle tactics and influence how players explore and engage with the expansive overworld.
In the game, players take on the role of a plane-hopping traveler who has escaped captivity, embarking on an all-new adventure. The journey begins in a tranquil town that opens into uncharted realms. As players advance, they encounter Anima companions with distinct personalities and forge bonds that carry through both exploration and combat.
In Nexus Battles, these companions stand beside players as the story uncovers the mysteries of the protagonist’s past. As the latest major entry in the Honkai series, Honkai: Nexus Anima continues to deliver the franchise’s signature high-quality storytelling and artistic style, and it also marks a bold new chapter in both gameplay and worldbuilding.
The Nexus Bond Test will be a closed beta with data wipe, available on both PC and iOS. A number of players will be selected from those who have pre-registered and successfully submitted the questionnaire for prospective testers, and granted access to the test. Please stay tuned for future announcements for more details regarding the testing timetable.
