Honkai: Nexus Anima annonserer betatest av «Aspect Exploration Project»

HoYoverse has officially announced the Aspect Exploration Project, a new beta test for its upcoming creature-collector adventure strategy game, Honkai: Nexus Anima. The playtest is scheduled for a future date, with further details expected soon.

First revealed on May 5, Honkai: Nexus Anima is the latest entry in the Honkai universe and previously held its first closed beta test in 2025. The game features an autochess-inspired combat system combined with creature collection and exploration elements.

Collect, Evolve, and Explore

Honkai: Nexus Anima blends adorable creature collecting with strategic gameplay. Players can collect and evolve Anima, unlock new abilities, and participate in autobattler-style matches.

A recent DevTalk presentation introduced new Anima, including Fyrklor and Hoggit, expanding the growing roster of collectible companions. The game also showcases a new skyscraper-filled district to explore, featuring themed locations such as a flagship store inspired by the anime Umpurrella. In addition, improvements to the nighttime environment in Lia add further atmosphere to the world.

Multilingual Small-Scale Playtest Incoming

The upcoming Aspect Exploration Project will be a multilingual, small-scale playtest. Its primary objective is to gather player feedback, validate gameplay systems, and refine overall design elements.

Participants can expect an early look at features such as:

• Deep customization systems
• Autochess-inspired battles
• Exploration mechanics

At this stage, HoYoverse has not announced recruitment details or official testing dates. More information is expected to be revealed as development progresses.
