Overview

  • Recruitment for the Nexus Bond Test is live through September 12 on the official site for PC and iOS.
  • HoYoverse lists recommended specs including an Intel i5 11th Gen or Ryzen 5 5000 CPU, RTX 2060 or RX 5600 XT GPU, and 16GB RAM, with iPhone 12 Pro or 13 Pro or later on iOS.
  • The premise centers on forging bonds with Anima—remnants of paired concepts—that combine abilities for exploration and strategic combat.
  • Coverage characterizes the gameplay as leaning toward Teamfight Tactics–style auto-battles with strong Pokémon-style creature collection.
  • IP consultant Florian Mueller says the shown mounts would fall under Nintendo’s amended riding-objects patent tied to the Palworld case, though no legal action on Nexus Anima has been reported and no release date is set.
