HoYoverse, the creators of Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero and Honkai: Star Rail, once again take over the gacha game world by teasing their latest game, Honkai: Nexus Anima.
Although HoYoverse announced the game in May at the Honkai: Star Rail anniversary concert, no other information had been revealed until now. HoYoverse officially launched the Honkai: Nexus Anima website and trailer on August 28th.
What We Know
In Honkai: Nexus Anima, players collect creatures, called Animas, in an adventure strategy game. “Nexus” in the game is the bond between two contrasting concepts, such as life and death. However, when these bonds are imbalanced, due to unforeseen issues, the concept’s power transforms into Animas.
Players will travel by plane, having previously escaped captivity and now restarting in tranquility as they explore new realms. With the Anima around, players will forge bonds, travel the world and complete tasks together.
It appears players can acquire individual Animas, who have their own abilities, or acquire characters, who have their own Anima companions. HoYoverse revealed numerous different Animas and characters on the game’s official website.
Although a new game, Honkai: Nexus Anima, falls under the Honkai universe, alongside games such as Honkai: Star Rail and Honkai Impact 3rd. Not only that, but familiar faces from other games also join in Nexus Anima. Blade from Honkai: Star Rail and Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd will be characters in the Nexus Anima world.
Some of the game features highlighted include making memories with your Anima companion, uncover mysteries about other Animasters, duel in battles and explore different areas.
Beta Testing
Since Honkai: Nexus Anima currently remains in Beta Testing, HoYoverse has made it very clear that the game, alongside all its information on the website now, may change between now and its official launch date, since it is a work in progress. However, fans of the Honkai universe can join in on the testing.
Between now and September 12th, fans can apply to be apart of the “Nexus Bond Test,” its first closed beta test. By applying and completing a questionnaire, selected fans will have an exclusive first look at the game, learning about its features and mechanics. However, all experience gained in beta testing will not transfer over to the official gaming experience, forcing beta testers to restart their journey.
Currently, PC, iOS and Android fans can enjoy Honkai: Nexus Anima. However, the game is likely to be released on other platforms, such as Xbox and PlayStation, in the future.
Until its official launch, fans interested should rush to apply for beta testing to play with these adorable animas. In the meantime, keep checking Honkai: Nexus Anima’s official website for more updates.
