Honkai: Nexus Anima Final Closed Beta starts November 25

HoYoverse has opened recruitment for the Final Closed Beta of Honkai: Nexus Anima, its open-world creature-catching adventure RPG. The test begins November 25, 2026, in UTC+8, with sign-ups running from November 5 at 12:00 to November 22 at 09:59 UTC+8.

Players can register through the official website or HoYoLAB by pre-registering and submitting the recruitment questionnaire. Selected testers will be notified through the email used during sign-up, and access can also be checked on the game’s site after recruitment ends.

The beta will be available on PC, iOS, and Android. HoYoverse says game data is shared across platforms during the test, so players can move between PC and mobile with the same account. There’s a catch, though: access is tied to the first device used to log in on each platform, and each HoYoverse account can only be linked to one device per platform.

This is a limited, free closed beta with no monetization, and all progress will be wiped when the test ends. HoYoverse hasn’t announced the beta’s end date yet. Players who joined earlier tests, including the Aspect Exploration Project or In-Depth Research Program, won’t keep access or data for this round and are told to uninstall older test builds first.

Honkai: Nexus Anima is currently scheduled to launch in Spring 2027. Pre-registration is also available on the App Store, though HoYoverse hasn’t given an exact release date.
