Overview

  • HoYoverse announced Honkai: Nexus Anima with a teaser and in-game footage, positioning it as a creature-collector adventure strategy entry in the Honkai franchise.
  • The Nexus Bond Test is a limited closed beta with applications open now, supporting English, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
  • Recommended test specs include at least an Intel i5 11th Gen or Ryzen 5 5000 CPU, RTX 2060 or RX 5600 XT GPU, and 16GB RAM on PC, plus iPhone 12 Pro/13 Pro or later on iOS with iOS 14.0 or higher.
  • Coverage describes combat as a Pokémon-style collector fused with autochess/autobattler tactics, with exploration, Anima bonding, and mini-games shown in the reveal.
  • HoYoverse confirmed returning characters such as Blade and Kiana, and an IP expert, Florian Mueller, argues the trailer’s mount system appears to infringe a recently amended Nintendo patent tied to the Palworld case.
