HoYoverse has officially opened pre-registration for its upcoming title, Honkai: Nexus Anima, available now via the game’s official website. First revealed on May 5 and later confirmed through a closed beta test for mobile and PC in August, the game combines creature collecting, open-world exploration, and autochess-inspired strategy battles.
Collect Anima and Explore a Vibrant World
In Honkai: Nexus Anima, players collect Destined Spirits—adorable creatures known as Anima—which can evolve to unlock new skills. These companions follow you through a colorful world, offering strong Pokémon-like vibes while adding charm and personality to your journey. Whether you’re flying on your Anima, riding horse-like companions, or gliding through the skies, the world feels alive with discovery.
Creature Companionship Meets Strategy
The Anima aren’t just for show—they’re central to the game’s unique autobattler system. Players can deploy and evolve their Anima in autochess-style battles, mixing creature synergy with strategic planning. Examples include companions like Puddlipup and Taileep, which bring distinct abilities to the battlefield.
Deep Character Customization and Adventure
Alongside Anima collection, players can enjoy deep customization of their own characters, tailoring everything from facial features to outfits. The game also features unique NPCs like Cassio Rollex, Victus, and Kumyo Kyo, adding depth to the adventure.
Pre-Registration Now Live
Honkai: Nexus Anima is shaping up to be a fresh twist on both creature-collector and autobattler genres, blending adorable companions with strategic depth. Pre-registration is now open on the official website, though no release date has been announced yet.
