Honkai: Nexus Anima is an open-world creature-catching adventure RPG that expands the Honkai franchise into the multiplayer RPG space. The game is set in a world built around the balance of Nexus, where unseen bonds between paired concepts have been severed and scattered their powers as creatures called Anima. Players control a plane-hopping traveler who has escaped captivity, forging bonds with Anima and participating in Nexus Battles while uncovering the mysteries of their past. The full game is currently planned to release in spring 2027.
