The recent tweet from HoYoverse further confirms that Honkai Nexus Anima is set to launch globally in spring 2027.

Honkai Nexus Anima features a diverse open world comprising high-rise office buildings, breezy lighthouse islands, and Animas (the collectable creatures). During the final closed beta, players will step into the role of an Animaster and continue a brand-new adventure from the town of Iia. They will explore every corner of the landscape, capture different Animas, and build habitats for them.
The creatures can be further used in battles. Players can put together any lineup they like, get matched against opponents, and push for higher ranks. They will come across rivals through story progression and various challenge stages during open-world exploration, offering plenty of ways to use their Animas.
In short, HNA’s closed beta test will showcase the core gameplay elements, story, and unique world interactions ahead of the spring 2027 release.
