Developer: HoYoverse (miHoYo) | Platform: PC, Mobile | Release Date in Germany: still planned | Steam Rating: not available yet

What kind of game is this? Honkai Nexus Anima takes place in the same universe as Honkai Star Rail. The world consists of the emotions known as aspects, including love, hate, or chaos. These forces are held together by the Nexus. However, a catastrophic event tore the fabric apart. The released aspect energy manifested itself in the form of Anima. 

We awaken in a strange city and travel through different aspect worlds. Along the way, we capture monsters with the help of magical yarn balls. They can capture Anima and bind to us. We solve puzzles in the game world and uncover the truth behind the downfall of the Nexus.
