What to Play After the Nexus Anima Evolution Test
The Evolution Test ends in a full data wipe, so here are two other gacha games our team covers to play alongside it: Endfield and Silver Palace.
By Nexus Anima Hub
The Honkai: Nexus Anima Evolution Test starts July 9, 2026, and it ends the way closed betas do: with a full data wipe. Nothing you build carries over to launch, so it is a preview, not a head start. If you are the kind of player who likes having something to grind between tests, two other gacha games are worth your time right now, and both are ones our team already covers in depth.
Full transparency up front: the team behind Nexus Anima Hub also runs the two companion sites linked below. We will point at them where relevant, and everything else here points at each game’s own channels.
Arknights: Endfield, out now
Arknights: Endfield is Hypergryph’s open-world action RPG, a full 3D spin on the Arknights universe with real-time squad combat and a base-building layer instead of the original’s tower defense. Unlike the Evolution Test, Endfield is live, so anything you pull and level actually sticks. If you want a gacha you can settle into while Nexus Anima is still wipe-only, this is the obvious pick.
Our sister site Endfield Hub covers it the same way we cover Nexus Anima: a character database, tier lists, and planning tools, kept current with each version.
Silver Palace, in its Dichotomy beta
Silver Palace is an open-world detective action RPG from Silver Studio, a subsidiary of Happy Elements, built on Unreal Engine 5. You play a Detective in Silvernia, a Victorian-inspired industrial city powered by a substance called Silverium, and the loop mixes deduction, minigames, and action combat.
The current test is the Dichotomy beta, with sign-ups open through July 16, 2026 on the official site. There is still no release date, so a beta slot is the only way to play it this year. If you get in, Silver Palace Meta has the tier list, reroll guide, and redemption codes ready.
Back to the Test
None of this changes what we do here. Nexus Anima remains this site’s only subject, and our Anima dex, tier list, and formation planner keep updating through the Evolution Test and into launch. We just know a lot of you play more than one gacha, and a wipe beta is a good moment to have a second game on the go.
