How to Sign Up for the Final Closed Beta
Interested players must register through the official website using a HoYoverse account and complete a recruitment questionnaire. According to the developer’s official FAQ on HoYoLAB, the test follows strict participation guidelines:
- Recruitment Deadline: Applications close on November 22, 2026, at 09:59 (UTC+8). Once submitted, questionnaire responses cannot be modified.
- Cross-Platform Progression: The Final Closed Beta supports cross-save synchronization between PC, iOS, and Android on the same HoYoverse account, allowing testers to switch devices seamlessly.
- Data Wipe: Like previous testing phases, this is a free, non-monetized closed test, meaning all player progress and account data will be wiped once the beta concludes.
- Content Sharing Allowed: HoYoverse confirmed there are no NDA restrictions barring testers from streaming, recording, or sharing gameplay footage from this phase.
What Is New in the Final Closed Beta?
Setting out from the town of Iia, players take on the role of an Animaster, exploring interconnected worlds known as Planes to forge bonds with diverse creatures called Anima. Compared to earlier confidential tests, the Final Closed Beta introduces major gameplay expansions:
- Competitive Nexus Arena: A brand-new competitive mode designed to test player-built Anima squads.
- Expanded Challenge Stages: Updated high-difficulty encounters featuring tougher enemy variants and modifiers.
- New Anima Variants and Story Content: The test debuts new regions, narrative chapters, Juvenile Anima, and rare Chromatic Anima forms alongside an overhauled combat system.
HoYoverse’s Growing 2026 and 2027 Lineup

It forms part of an aggressive multi-title roadmap for the studio, arriving shortly after the December 2026 debut of cozy life-sim Petit Planet and ahead of upcoming projects Nodusfall and Varsapura.
