HoYoverse — the team behind Genshin Impact — has unveiled a brand-new Honkai game: Honkai: Nexus Anima.
From now until September 12, early adopters can sign up on iOS or PC to participate in the first closed beta, entitled the Nexus Bond Test and try out Honkai: Nexus Anima’s own blend of “creature collection with strategic adventure.” There’s no release date yet.
“In a world where unseen bonds between concepts like Light and Dark or Life and Death have ruptured, players will forge connections with companions known as Anima,” the description teases. “Each carries unique powers that can be combined in battle, setting the stage for fresh strategies and new stories in the Honkai universe.”
There’s also a 90-second long announcement video, which shows off the sun-dappled shores and leafy meadows, as well as some of the wonderfully cute characters you can expect to meet. You can check it out below:
Earlier this month, HoYoverse confirmed it was discontinuing support for Genshin Impact on PS4 “due to limitations related to hardware performance and platform application size.” We thought it was ‘amazing’ when it released back in 2020, awarding it 9/10 in the IGN Genshin Impact review.
