HoYoverse readies final closed beta for its multiplayer creature-catching RPG
Honkai: Nexus Anima, HoYoverse's new multiplayer title focused on creature catching, is preparing to launch its final closed beta this month.
A new open world from HoYoverse
According to MMORPG.com, Honkai: Nexus Anima will hold its final closed testing phase before official release later in November. This open-world adventure RPG marks a fresh direction for the studio, exploring creature-catching mechanics in a multiplayer setting.
Unlike Honkai: Star Rail, the narrative-focused solo experience familiar to franchise fans, Nexus Anima emphasizes cooperative gameplay. As reported by Massively Overpowered, the title combines the Honkai universe with gacha elements and a social dimension, territory the Chinese developer has yet to fully explore.
A decisive step before launch
This final beta will allow HoYoverse to refine balancing and test server stability ahead of commercial release. For players, it's an opportunity to see whether the studio can successfully translate its winning formula into a multiplayer context centered on creature collection.
Beta registrations should be announced soon through the game's official channels. This testing phase will serve as a key indicator of HoYoverse's direction in the competitive open-world multiplayer RPG space.
