HoYoverse has announced a beta test for their upcoming game, Honkai: Nexus Anima. This creature-collecting adventure strategy title, first shown on May 5th, features gameplay inspired by autochess and previously had a closed beta test in 2025. The new ‘Aspect Exploration Project’ beta is scheduled to begin at a later date.

Get ready to collect new Anima and explore the new district

Honkai: Nexus Anima is the latest game in the popular Honkai series. It’s a fun mix of collecting cute creatures, going on adventures, and using strategy. You’ll collect and level up creatures called Anima, unlock cool skills, and then battle automatically – it looks really engaging!

I’m even more excited about the game after the recent DevTalk, especially with the introduction of new Anima like Fyrklor and Hoggit. I’m really looking forward to trying them out and exploring the new district with all the skyscrapers, including the Umpurrella anime-themed store. The improvements to the nighttime environment in lia are also a fantastic addition.

Devs are yet to reveal the recruitment and test dates

Honkai: Nexus Anima is preparing for a limited, multilingual playtest called the Aspect Exploration Project. The team wants to gather feedback from players and improve the game’s design. This is exciting for fans, as it will offer a first look at the game’s features, including extensive customization options, strategic battles similar to autochess, and opportunities for exploration.

The team hasn’t announced when they’ll start recruiting testers or when the official tests will take place yet. But I’ll be monitoring for updates and will share any new information as soon as the developers release it. If you’re interested in learning more, you can find detailed information on DevTalk.
