Why it matters
The beta's pull changes matter more than the date: the Limited-Time Mirror Heart Link and Limited-Time Anima Link now guarantee the featured target on the first five-star result, and a pickup-limited Mirror Heart comes with its partner Anima free.
Key Facts
- HoYoverse announced on November 5, 2026, that Honkai: Nexus Anima will release in spring 2027 for PC, iOS, and Android.
- The Final Beta Test for Honkai: Nexus Anima begins November 25 and is a limited-capacity, data-wipe test.
- Lottery applications for the Honkai: Nexus Anima Final Beta Test close at 10:59 on November 22.
- Honkai: Nexus Anima adds a Nexus Arena where players form sortie parties and compete for rank against matched opponents.
- App Store pre-registration for Honkai: Nexus Anima is open.
The company also set a Final Beta Test to begin November 25. That test is limited-capacity and wipes data, and entry is by lottery through a survey on the official website, open until 10:59 on November 22. Winners are contacted through eligibility checks, email, and SMS. The test adds new areas to Iya Town, including a traditional bank lobby, an office building, and an island with a lighthouse, plus a personal Camper for resting and habitats players build for Anima through map exploration. Players take the role of an Anima Master and travel with Anima across fields, meeting them, building bonds, and fighting strategic battles. A new Nexus Arena lets players form sortie parties and compete for rank against matched opponents. A latest trailer and in-game footage also went out.
The Final Beta Test adds a companion layer the earlier tests did not have. Players can hold hands with an Anima, hug it, or be lifted by one, and juvenile Anima that undergo evolution appear more often in fields than before, alongside rare differently colored Anima. Battle content grows too: powerful enemies are added to fields and challenge stages on top of the Nexus Arena.
Recruitment runs on a different clock from the release. Applications close at 10:59 on November 22, three days before the test opens, so the lottery is decided before the servers come up. The announcement came with a new trailer and gameplay footage. HoYoverse is the studio behind Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, and Honkai: Nexus Anima is its next RPG in that line.
