Honkai: Nexus Anima Closed Beta Now Open for PC and iOS Players
A Fresh Adventure from HoYoverse
HoYoverse, known for popular titles like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, has officially introduced its newest game, Honkai: Nexus Anima. This creature-collecting strategy adventure has opened sign-ups for its closed beta test, called the “Nexus Bond Test,” now live for PC and iOS players. Registration will remain open until September 12, 2025.
Discover the Nexus Anima Universe
First teased during a major anniversary event, Nexus Anima is set in a world where light and darkness, life and death, have fallen into imbalance. Their fragmented essence has given rise to mysterious beings known as Anima—creatures that represent these lost connections.
Players step into the shoes of a traveler who escapes confinement and embarks on a thrilling journey that begins in a tranquil town and expands into unknown realms. Along the way, you’ll encounter Anima companions, each with unique powers and personalities. Building bonds and strategically deploying these allies will be key to surviving battles and uncovering the truth of this fractured world.
The Nexus Battles bring depth and excitement to combat, where every Anima companion has a vital role. Honkai’s signature storytelling style shines again, now enriched by strategic gameplay and a beautifully immersive world.

Why This Beta Matters
