China approves 156 game licenses in September, including miHoYo’s Honkai: Nexus Anima

China’s National Press and Publication Administration (NPPA) on Wednesday approved licenses for 156 games in September, including 145 domestic titles and 11 imports. One of the most notable approvals is Honkai: Nexus Anima, the fifth main installment in miHoYo’s Honkai series. The game continues the established Honkai universe while introducing features such as spirit-raising, strategy-based tactical battles, and open-world exploration. As miHoYo’s first major push into the PvP (Player versus Player) arena, the title is expected to play a key role in expanding the company’s user ecosystem and enriching its IP portfolio. According to miHoYo, player reservations for Honkai: Nexus Anima have exceeded 4.07 million. [NPPA, in Chinese]
