Honkai: Nexus Anima Introduces Nanafi, a Girl Who Dreams of Dimensional Travel
The character reveal and simultaneous test launch show HoYoverse is building out the world and lore of Honkai: Nexus Anima as it moves toward release.
Reporting from 1 source: 4Gamer.net.
HoYoverse released character details and a promotional video for Nanafi, a girl from the town of Iatown who dreams of traveling between dimensions, voiced by Saho Shirasuna. The closed beta test, the Evolution Test, began on July 9, 2026.
The newly revealed Nanafi, a resident of the small town Iatown, is driven by curiosity and a desire to see what lies beyond her home. Her character PV shows her experiencing recurring dreams of a shadowy figure and an unknown Anima, with a voice telling her that she must find them. The dreams propel her to search, even as Otto, voiced by Akira Ishida, expresses exasperation at her quest. Eventually she realizes that the chase itself is fun, even if it may be just a dream. Alongside the PV, HoYoverse released a student file and bucket list for Nanafi. The game's Evolution Test, a closed beta, began on the same day.
