HoYoverse has revealed its full Gamescom 2026 lineup, with Honkai: Nexus Anima and Petit Planet set to make their Gamescom debuts with playable demos with the 660-square-metre exhibition space in Hall 6.1, Booth B030, at Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany. The booth will be open from August 26 through August 30 and will also include dedicated areas for Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero.
Honkai: Nexus Anima will give attendees another opportunity to check out HoYoverse’s upcoming creature-collecting adventure strategy game following its recent multi-platform Evolution Test. Players will be able to collect Anima, explore the game’s world, and take part in Nexus Battles during the hands-on demo.
The game’s exhibition area will be designed around a town where humans and Anima live alongside one another. It will also feature a large Umpurrella installation, themed activities, and limited-edition Anima merchandise for attendees who participate.
Petit Planet, HoYoverse’s upcoming cosy galactic life simulation game, will make its international exhibition debut at the event. Its playable PC demo will allow attendees to farm, build, explore the Starsea, and spend time with the game’s fuzzy Neighbours.
