Nexus Anima Unveiled: A New Chapter from Hoyoverse

29 Aug 2025

Hoyoverse, the creator of beloved games such as Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, has announced its newest venture: Honkai Nexus Anima. This innovative game melds elements of creature-collecting and autochess-style combat, offering both longtime fans and newcomers a fresh, captivating experience.

The announcement was made during the recent Honkai Star Rail anniversary concert, where fans were treated to both familiar and new tunes from the series. Alongside the musical celebration, details of this refreshing addition to the franchise were revealed, sparking excitement within the gaming community.

Innovative Play with Anima Companions

Honkai Nexus Anima introduces a unique blend of gameplay mechanics, deviating from the traditional combat systems seen in previous Hoyoverse titles. Unlike the open-world exploration of Genshin Impact or the turn-based mechanics of Honkai Star Rail, Nexus Anima takes inspiration from the strategic depths of autobattlers like Teamfight Tactics. Players will now engage in battles using Anima creatures, each possessing distinct Aspects and Traits, reminiscent of TFT's unit system.

The game’s narrative surrounds an amnesiac protagonist entangled in a quest of mystery and discovery. As players delve into this story, they'll encounter charming creatures like Bobabirb and Mimoo, as well as a whimsical anthropomorphic avocado, hinting at the game's underlying themes of ruptured bonds and companionship.

Nexus Bond Test and Availability

Players eager to embark on this new journey won't have to wait long. Registrations for the Nexus Bond Test, an initial beta phase, are now open and will remain so through Friday, September 12, 2025. The test will be accessible to both PC and iOS users, allowing a diverse group of players to experience the game's innovative features firsthand.

As Nexus Anima takes shape, it promises to build upon Hoyoverse's legacy of creating immersive worlds and storytelling. This fusion of gameplay mechanics, combined with the quirky yet profound themes of the game, sets the stage for a thrilling chapter in the Honkai series.
