Today, HoYoverse finally showed off what we can expect from its next game. Honkai: Nexus Anima showed off an adorable new trailer full of cute critters and beautiful anime graphics. This new installment in the Honkai series is giving off serious Genshin Impact meets Pokemon vibes, and frankly, I am here for it.

What We Know About Honkai: Nexus Anima So Far

As previous teasers have hinted, the new HoYoverse game will feature adorable critters. And yes, it is a creature-collector. But before I dig into the details, you need to get a look at the teaser trailer to fully appreciate the cuteness:

Honkai: Nexus Anima is a creature collector meets adventure strategy game from HoYoverse. Players will navigate a world filled with Anima, scattered remnants of the balance between paired ideas like Love and Hate, Light and Dark, etc. Alongside these Anima, we will go on a journey through uncharted realms to try and unlock the mysteries of our past. The game features plane-hopping, battle tactics, and, of course, adorable Anima to befriend and level up.

The official release date for Honkai: Nexus Anima has not yet been revealed. However, the game’s official social media is now live, so players can follow along for updates. And players can already sign up for a chance to participate in its first Closed Beta test on PC and iOS.

Along with the game’s full reveal, HoYoverse is launching sign-ups for The Nexus Bond Test. This will be the first Closed Beta fr Honkai: Nexus Anima. Sign-ups are open from August 29th until September 12th. So, if you’d like to be among the first to try out Honkai’s new creature collector, you can throw your hat into the ring via the game’s official website.

The Closed Beta test will take place on iOS and PC, with the official dates to be revealed in the future. Signing up isn’t a guarantee you’ll be selected, as only a select number of applicants will be picked to participate. Even so, signing up is the best way to get a chance to try out the new game early.
