Honkai: Nexus Anima – First Closed Beta Launches August 29, 2025

Get ready for a new chapter in the acclaimed Honkai series — Honkai: Nexus Anima is officially entering its first closed beta test, known as the Nexus Bond Test, with registrations opening today, August 29th, 2025, at 12:00 UTC+8, and closing on September 12th, 2025, at 23:59 UTC+8.

This marks the first major public reveal of Honkai: Nexus Anima, a genre-blending creature-collecting adventure strategy game that fuses elements of RPG, tactical combat, and deep narrative exploration. Developed by HoYoverse, the game is set in a fractured world where bonds between opposing forces — known as Nexus — have shattered, scattering their essence across the land as Anima.

🔥 Key Beta Info:

• Available Platforms: PC & iOS only (Android support not available in this test)
• Registration: Limited slots — only pre-registered players who complete the questionnaire will be selected
• Data Wipe: Full data wipe after the beta ends — progress will not carry over
• Status: Still in active development — expect changes and updates during the test

🌍 The World of Nexus Anima

You play as a nameless traveler who escapes captivity, awakening to a world torn apart by the collapse of the Nexus — metaphysical connections that once maintained balance between forces like:

• Light vs. Dark
• Life vs. Death
• Love vs. Hate
• Regret vs. Peace
• Satiation vs. Insatiability

These broken bonds manifest as Anima — sentient, powerful entities with distinct personalities, elemental affinities, and thematic identities. From elemental spirits to emotional archetypes, and even food-inspired Anima like Satiation (abundance) and Insatiability (craving), every companion brings unique strengths to your team.

Battle, bond, and evolve with your Anima across a dynamic world shaped by memory, emotion, and fate.

🎮 What to Expect in Combat

• Tactical turn-based combat with deep synergy systems
• Team composition built around Nexus relationships and elemental matchups
• Procedural exploration and environmental puzzles tied to Anima lore
• Emergent narrative driven by your choices and connections

🤝 Bridging the Universe

Two iconic characters from the Honkai franchise are confirmed to appear at launch:

• Blade from Honkai: Star Rail
• Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd

Their appearances signal a deeper integration between the Honkai titles, promising a rich, interconnected narrative across the franchise.

💡 First teased during the Honkai: Star Rail 2nd Anniversary Concert in May 2025, Nexus Anima has since built anticipation with cryptic trailers and concept art. The official reveal video below offers the first full look at the game’s world, characters, and core mechanics.
