Honkai: Nexus Anima | GameTrader.SG

HoYo FEST 2026 Singapore now has a confirmed ticket price and sale date. Tickets open on 16 July 2026 at 11am SGT, with a 1-day pass priced at S$16 and a 3-day bundle at S$35 — plus a fast-pass upgrade at S$50. The event itself runs from 8 to 10 August at Suntec City Convention Centre, and for the first time, attendees will get to go hands-on with Honkai: Nexus Anima before any global launch date has been announced.

If you missed our earlier coverage, we reported on the event announcement and venue confirmation back in June. This article covers the newly confirmed ticket pricing, the sale window, and a closer look at what HoYoverse has planned for the three days.

Ticket Prices and When to Buy

Three ticket tiers are available:

1-Day Pass — S$16: Access to HoYo FEST on one day of your choice (8, 9, or 10 August).
3-Day Bundle — S$35: Entry across all three days at roughly S$12 per day.
Fast Pass — S$50: 3-day entry plus priority queue access for all playable booths and the lucky draw.

Tickets go live on 16 July at 11am SGT exclusively through the official HoYoFEST ticketing page. No third-party re-sale channels have been announced. Given that the first HoYo FEST Singapore sold out quickly, setting a reminder for the 16 July window is strongly recommended.

What’s On — Booths, Lucky Draw, and Artist Alley

The event floor at Suntec City Convention Centre will carry dedicated booths for Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, and Tears of Themis, each with game-specific merchandise, photo zones, and interactive activities. A community merchandise zone and a food and beverage area are also confirmed.

The lucky draw is open to all ticket holders and includes an ASUS ROG laptop, an iPad Air, and a PS5 Slim as headline prizes. Entry into the lucky draw is earned by completing booth stamp-card activities across the event floor.

The Artist Alley returns with 50 participating creators — the largest lineup for a HoYo FEST Singapore to date. The full creator list will be published ahead of the event; based on the floor plan released, the alley spans the full eastern wing of the convention hall.

Honkai: Nexus Anima — First Playable Hands-On

The headline exclusive at HoYo FEST 2026 Singapore is a playable demo of Honkai: Nexus Anima — a new title in the Honkai franchise that HoYoverse has not yet given a global release date for. The Suntec City booth will be one of the first public venues outside of China where players can go hands-on with the game, making it a significant draw for Honkai series fans beyond the usual HoYo FEST experience. No further details about the demo’s content or playable characters have been released ahead of the event.

HoYo FEST 2026 Singapore runs 8–10 August 2026 at Suntec City Convention Centre. Tickets go on sale 16 July at 11am SGT. Watch the Events section for further updates as the sale date approaches.

What Is Honkai: Nexus Anima?

This is an entirely new HoYoverse franchise — separate from Honkai Impact 3rd and Honkai: Star Rail. The game is built around a lore concept called the Nexus: a primordial force that once balanced opposing aspects of existence — light and dark, love and hate. When the Nexus collapsed, fragments of it became living creatures called Anima.

Players take the role of a Dimensional Traveler who escapes captivity and arrives in Iya, a town in the Reality Plane. The core loop is bonding with Anima — naming them, capturing photos, evolving them, and deploying them in strategic battles. Rare Chromatic Anima variants are especially coveted. If you have ever wished Genshin Impact had a Pokémon-style creature-collecting layer, this is worth watching.

What’s New in the Evolution Test

The Evolution Test is a major content jump over earlier testing phases. Three new characters debut in Iya: Nanafey, Bai Mei, and Olympia. Voice actor Akira Ishida (known for roles in Evangelion, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Honkai Impact 3rd) is confirmed as the voice of a character named Otto.

Expanded areas open up in the test, including a New Quarter district of Iya, the Bond Hall, and the Nexus Group building. This is a non-paying, data-wiping closed beta — any progress made will not carry to the final release — so it is purely a chance to get hands-on with HoYoverse’s next big title before everyone else.

How to Apply — Open Right Now

Head to hna.hoyoverse.com and complete the recruitment survey. Final testers are selected by lottery from everyone who pre-registers and submits the survey. You must be 18 or older to apply. The window is open from 22 June, so the sooner you get your entry in, the better your odds ahead of the 9 July start.

The beta runs on PC, Android, and iOS. No SGD pricing has been announced for the final game yet — this remains a test with no confirmed global launch window.

Last words

HoYoverse’s track record in Singapore is hard to argue with — Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero have all charted on the local App Store and Google Play at launch. Honkai: Nexus Anima is gunning for a similar audience: free-to-play, cross-platform, and now layering in creature-collecting mechanics that overlap nicely with the Pokémon GO and Palworld crowd. If you have a HoYoLAB account, applying for the Evolution Test takes two minutes. Check back with GameTrader’s Game News for coverage when the beta goes live on 9 July.
