Honkai: Nexus Anima Final Closed Beta Guide

When does the Final Closed Beta start?

November 25, 2026, UTC+8. Recruitment opens on November 5 at 12:00 and closes on November 22 at 09:59, UTC+8. The end date has not been announced [verify].

The Chinese name for the test is 幸福测试. English material uses Final Closed Beta, which is the official label on the global site and in the press release.

How do you sign up?

Submit the recruitment questionnaire on the official site, or pre-register through HoYoLAB. Selection is a draw from submissions, not a first-come queue, so an early form does not raise your odds.

You can edit your pre-registration information until November 16 at 16:00 UTC+8. Selected players are notified through the Check Test Access button, email, SMS, and the official Discord.

Filling the form does not guarantee a slot. There is no purchase path to entry.

Does beta progress carry over to launch?

No. The test ends with a data wipe, so nothing you collect, bond, or rank up survives into the spring 2027 launch. Play the beta to learn systems, not to bank progress.

Is the test free?

The official English FAQ calls it a limited, free closed beta with no monetization. Chinese coverage describes it as a billing test with refunds after launch. Those accounts conflict, so this page does not state a purchase rule as fact [verify].

This page explains mechanics only. It does not recommend a purchase, a pack, or a spending plan.

What is new in this test?

The build adds story chapters and new faces, some companions and some rivals. Iia expands to a traditional bank hall, a high-rise office building, and a lighthouse island, and the RV becomes a place you can return to at any time.

On the collection side, Chromatic forms appear in the world, more juvenile Anima join the journey, and habitats let you build for your Anima while exploring.

Combat adds Nexus Arena, where you build any lineup, get matched, and push for ranks. The open world and challenge stages also gain tougher enemies.

What are the PC and mobile requirements?

The Chinese listing for the test gives a minimum of an Intel i5-11400F or Ryzen 5 3600X, a GTX 1050 or R9 270X, and 35 GB of free space, with Snapdragon 845 or better on Android. That is a regional listing, so treat it as a strong indicator rather than a global promise [verify].
