HoYoverse is giving players another chance to check out Honkai: Nexus Anima, as the upcoming entry in the Honkai series is getting another closed beta test. This new round of testing, called the “Evolution Test,” will begin on July 9, 2026, for PC, Android, and iOS.
As expected with this sort of test, this will be a closed beta with a data wipe, so any progress made during the test won’t carry over to the final release. Still, for anyone who has been waiting to see more of what HoYoverse is doing with this game, this is going to be one of the better chances to get a feel for it.
According to HoYoverse, this new test follows nearly a year of refinement and optimization for Honkai: Nexus Anima. The Evolution Test will also show more of the game’s story and core gameplay, while adding new characters, creatures, regions, and gameplay features.
