    Honkai: Nexus Anima at Gamescom 2026: HoYoverse’s Creature Collecting World Is More Interesting Than It First Appears

    A World Built Around Bonds, Not Just Creatures Going into my meeting with HoYoverse during Gamescom 2026, Honkai: Nexus Anima was one of those games I thought I understood before I actually spent enough time looking at it.

Timing becomes just as important as positioning, creating a surprisingly engaging blend…
