HoYoverse revealed a major Gamescom 2026 lineup with two new games.

HoYoverse has confirmed its appearance at this year's Gamescom, which will take place from August 26 to 30, 2026, in Cologne. Visitors will find the company in hall 6.1 at booth B030, where a total of five games will be showcased across approximately 660 square meters. The biggest attention will be drawn to the completely new projects Honkai: Nexus Anima and Petit Planet, which will make their debut at Gamescom and offer playable demonstrations. Honkai: Nexus Anima is an adventure strategy game focused on world exploration, raising mysterious creatures called Anima, and participating in Nexus battles. Visitors will be able to try out its main systems, tour a themed area, and win limited promotional items. Petit Planet, HoYoverse's first relaxed life simulation, comes to the event under the slogan "Connect the Vibe." Players will be able to customize their own planet in the PC version, grow crops, build structures, explore space, and socialize with friendly neighbors.

Special exhibition zones will also be dedicated to three already known HoYoverse titles. Genshin Impact will take visitors to the frozen Snezhnaya, featuring reconstructions of the local railway system and the Statue of The Seven, quizzes, and limited magnets and badges. Honkai: Star Rail will showcase content inspired by Planarcadia and version 4.4, along with themed activities, merchandise sales, cosplay appearances, and the presence of Pom-Pom, the conductor of the Astral Express. Zenless Zone Zero will celebrate its second anniversary with an area dedicated to New Eriduu, where playable demonstrations, music listening sessions, photography activities, cosplay performances, quizzes, and various challenges will take place. For the first time this year, HoYoverse will also be present in the business section of Gamescom, where media and business partners will be welcomed in hall 4.2 at booth B051. The exhibition space is created with the support of companies Ant and UGREEN, while NVIDIA GeForce RTX and iBUYPOWER will provide the computer equipment needed for game demonstrations.
