[DiaryPoint = Reporter Eom Ju-yong] HoYoverse will offer the first in-person demos in Korea of its upcoming games Honkai: Nexus Anima and Petit Planet at G-STAR 2026, running November 19–22 at BEXCO in Busan. Visitors will be able to play both games at dedicated demo areas.
Honkai: Nexus Anima is the latest entry in HoYoverse’s Honkai series, while Petit Planet is a planet-life simulation game where players cultivate their own planet and spend time with their neighbors. With Petit Planet set for a global PC and mobile release on December 4, the G-STAR demo offers a chance to try it before launch.
Stage events are also planned for the new games. The Honkai: Nexus Anima program will feature character-pose challenges and a balance game based on situations from the game. Petit Planet will host a “Live Playground,” introducing creatures from the game and inviting visitors to take on a rhythm challenge. Visitors who try the games or complete on-site missions will receive game-themed souvenirs, including hairpins, headbands, postcards and photo cards.
HoYoverse’s booth will also feature activities based on its existing games. Zenless Zone Zero will offer PS5 demos and a program where visitors can create a photo magazine from pictures taken at the venue. Genshin Impact will have an OST rhythm game and image quiz, while Honkai: Star Rail will host interactive stage games including a forbidden-word explanation challenge and a drawing-guessing game.
General admission to G-STAR costs 18,000 won for adults and 8,000 won for teens born on or after January 1, 2008. Tickets must be booked online in advance; there will be no sales at the venue. They are available until midnight on the day before the visit, with a limit of two tickets per person per day. Visitors with disabilities, registered national merit recipients, and preschool children born in 2020 or later can receive a ticket at the information desk and enter free of charge.
General admission runs November 19–22 at BEXCO in Busan. The show opens at 11 a.m. on the first day. Ticket checks end at 5 p.m., and entry closes at 5:30 p.m.
