No, Honkai: Nexus Anima is not out yet. It launches in spring 2027 on PC, iOS, and Android as a free-to-play game, with a limited Final Closed Beta starting November 25, 2026.

Is Honkai: Nexus Anima out yet?

No. The launch window is spring 2027. The only way to play before then is a closed test, and the current one is invite-only.

What platforms will it be on?

PC, iOS, and Android. There is no announced PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch version, and the cloud build in China is a technical test rather than a launch platform.

Is it free to play?

Yes. There is no paid client or pre-order. Rates and currency amounts are not published, so treat any economy chart as unconfirmed.

How do you get into the beta?

Submit the recruitment questionnaire between November 5 and November 22, 2026, then wait for the draw. Invitations go out through the access checker, email, SMS, and the official Discord.

Does beta progress carry over?

No. The Final Closed Beta ends with a data wipe, so nothing you earn there reaches launch.

Does the game have cross-save?

Inside the Final Closed Beta, game data is shared across PC, Android, and iOS, according to the official test FAQ. The launch cross-save policy has not been announced [verify].

Is it like Pokemon?

It shares the creature-collector premise, not the battle structure. Combat is an auto-battler on a hex grid with placement and Aspect synergy, and Eidos are acquired through limited banners.

Is it connected to Honkai: Star Rail?

It is a Honkai IP game with a new world and cast. Blade appears on the official roster, but whether it is the same character is not confirmed, so treat crossover claims as unconfirmed.

Does it have English voices and text?

The official global site is in English, and English is a supported test language. Voice-over coverage is not confirmed [verify].

What are the PC requirements?

A Chinese listing for the test gives a minimum of an 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. It is regional and not a global promise [verify].
