Honkai: Nexus Anima release date

What’s actually confirmed

The game is still in closed testing. The Evolution Test follows nearly a year of refinement after the 2025 Nexus Bond Test, and adds new characters, regions, Anima and systems. Expect further tests before a dated launch window — HoYoverse titles typically run multiple betas across roughly a year before a global release.

HoYoverse self-publishes the game globally, and it is being tested on PC, iOS, Android. The clearest dated signal right now is the Evolution Test closed beta on July 9, 2026 — see how to join.

Beta timeline (the real progress signal)

With no firm date, the closed beta cadence is the best read on how close the game is. The tests so far:

• Nexus Bond Test (CBT1) — Global · PC only, 2025 (the game's first public closed test).
• Evolution Test (CBT2) — Global · PC / iOS / Android, Jul 9, 2026 (data-wipe test; recruitment Jun 22 – Jul 3 (UTC+8); introduces Anima Evolution and rare Chromatic Anima).

The jump from a PC-only 2025 test to a multi-platform Evolution Test on PC, iOS and Android points to maturing development. Historically, HoYoverse runs several betas across roughly a year before a dated launch — see the closed beta tracker.
