Honkai: Nexus Anima Beta Notifications Begin July 8
HoYoverse will notify Evolution Testers starting July 8, 2026. Check your email or the official site for test access. Test runs July 9-27.
By Nexus Anima Hub
HoYoverse has confirmed that Evolution Tester notifications for Honkai: Nexus Anima will begin rolling out on July 8, 2026 (UTC+8). If you pre-registered for the closed beta, here is how to confirm your access and what to expect over the coming days.
How to check your test access
There are two ways to verify whether you have been selected:
- Email: Check the inbox associated with your pre-registration. Look for a message from
[email protected]. - Official website: Visit the Honkai: Nexus Anima homepage and click the “Check Test Access” button. The result shown on the official site is considered authoritative.
Watch for the official sender
All legitimate access notifications come from [email protected]. Verify the
sender address before clicking any links. HoYoverse will never ask for your password, payment
information, or account credentials through email.
Check your spam and promotions folders
Some email providers may route the notification to Promotions, Spam, or other filtered folders. If you do not see the email in your primary inbox, check those tabs and mark the sender as safe to avoid missing future updates.
Account trading and sharing warning
In the interest of maintaining fairness and ensuring an orderly environment for all players, accounts found to be engaging in account trading, renting, or sharing will have their test access revoked immediately. Do not trust any account sharing or trading information, sellers of test installation packages, or similar offers. Protect your personal account information and assets to avoid unnecessary losses.
Evolution Test schedule
| Milestone | Date and Time |
|---|---|
| Notifications begin | July 8, 2026 (UTC+8) |
| Test starts | July 9, 2026 at 10:00 (UTC+8) |
| Test ends | July 27, 2026 at 18:00 (UTC+8) |
The Evolution Test runs across PC, iOS, and Android. As with previous tests, all progress will be wiped at the end of the testing period, so treat this as an opportunity to explore the roster and systems rather than to build permanent progress.
What to do while you wait
If you have not yet signed up, registration remains open through the official site until July 3, 2026. Our Evolution Test sign-up guide walks through the process step by step.
Once you are in, our Anima dex and Animaster roster will be updated as new kits and characters are revealed during the test. If you are looking for something to play alongside the Evolution Test, check out our gacha games guide for recommendations.
Dates and details are from HoYoverse’s official announcement. Verify against the official site before relying on specific times or requirements.
