Honkai: Nexus Anima is confirmed by HoYoVerse to be coming to HoYo FEST 2026. See more about the activities and event details here.
Honkai: Nexus Anima Joins HoYo FEST 2026
Exclusive Testplay and Freebies Available
Honkai: Nexus Anima will be featured in HoYo FEST 2026, offering fans a chance to briefly try the game firsthand alongside limited freebies. According to the announcement, activities will specifically include an Aspect Exploration testplay and giveaways, though participation requires obtaining a queue card from the venue's Experience Zone first.
Those without a queue card will only be let in once all cardholders have completed their sessions, so entry isn't guaranteed to the area. Freebies from the event are also limited and will be given out to participants on a first-come, first-served basis. HNA doesn’t have a dedicated booth, so it is recommended that interested players must secure entry as early as possible to the Experience Zone in order to play.
Where to Catch Hoyo FEST 2026?
Hoyo FEST 2026 will be available in select countries across Southeast Asia from July 30 to August 2nd. The event will run in six cities:
⚫︎ Bangkok, Thailand: 30 July – 2 August 2026, 10:30 – 20:00, Central Ladprao, BCC HALL
⚫︎ Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam: 30 July – 2 August 2026, 09:00 – 20:00, Sky Expo, Hall A4
⚫︎ Jakarta, Indonesia: 30 July – 2 August 2026, 10:00 – 21:00, Pondok Indah Mall 3, City Hall

⚫︎ Singapore: 31 July – 2 August 2026, 11:00 – 21:00, Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, Hall 403
The event announcement for HNA follows right after the start of its recent Evolution Test closed beta. Apart from the beta, this showcase gives players in different regions a chance to exclusively get first-hand experience with the upcoming game ahead of its release.
Honkai: Nexus Anima's presence adds to what's already shaping up to be a stacked lineup for HoYo FEST 2026. The convention mainly celebrates their established IPs, such as Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, Honkai Impact 3rd, and Tears of Themis. Artist alleys, stage activities, cosplay contests, and the like are expected to make their way once more to the event’s program.
While it’s not surprising that other upcoming games from Hoyoverse may appear at Hoyo FEST, Honkai: Nexus Anima’s recent closed beta, together with being added to the program, suggests that the game could be close to securing a period for its next and potentially final beta, seeing that the trend is usually three CBTs before a game’s launch.
Honkai: Nexus Anima is currently in development for iOS, Android, and PC. For more updates and information about the game, check out our article below!
