Honkai: Nexus Anima sets 25 November start for Final Closed Beta

HoYoVerse will begin the Final Closed Beta for Honkai: Nexus Anima on 25 November 2026, giving PC and mobile players a new trial of the free-to-play creature-collecting RPG ahead of its planned Spring 2027 release window.

Registration for the test is already available through the game’s official website. The announced platforms are PC, Android and iOS mobile devices. HoYoVerse has not provided Philippine-specific availability or server details for the beta, so players in the Philippines and elsewhere in Southeast Asia will need to check the official registration page for eligibility and access information.

What the Final Closed Beta adds

The new test is expected to expand on the earlier trial with additional characters, Anima creatures, Event Bond encounters, areas to explore and quests. The beta will also include more gameplay content connected to Challenge Stages, along with the competitive Nexus Arena.

HoYoVerse is also showing more of the Event Bonds system. Siliconera reported that the system can provide a free Anima when players obtain a limited Eidos character, citing the example of the five-star Reality unit Bai Mei and the five-star Reality Anima Seroplumanth. The announcement presents these additions as part of the Final Closed Beta content rather than as a full description of the game’s final version.

  • Beta start: 25 November 2026
  • Registration: Live on the official website
  • Confirmed platforms: PC, Android and iOS
  • Release window: Spring 2027

Trailers highlight the new test

Two videos accompany the beta announcement. The “Final Closed Beta Gameplay Showcase” focuses on the new and expanded features, including the additional content and Nexus Arena. A separate “Get Nexergized” teaser takes a more cinematic approach and features the game’s characters alongside what appears to be a song connected to Fleming Collective character Ms. Louis Fleming Y.

HoYoVerse has not announced how long the Final Closed Beta will run. The company has also confirmed only PC and Android and iOS mobile devices for the test so far. The game’s wider launch remains scheduled for the Spring 2027 window, meaning the November trial is not a release of the finished version.

Honkai: Nexus Anima is one of several HoYoVerse projects in development. The company’s other announced titles include the Animal Crossing-style life simulation game Petit Planet, which is planned for PC and mobile devices in December 2026 and for Switch 2 in 2027, followed by Nodusfall and Varsapura.
