2626 The Nexus Bond Test was succeeded by the Aspect Exploration Project, a smaller and stricter closed beta announced in 2026. Where the Nexus Bond Test was open about footage and ran on PC and iOS only, the Aspect Exploration Project is invite-only, NDA-locked, and adds Android support. Improvements promised in this page's Developer response section have been tracked across the DevTalk series, with Phase II (February 2026) showcasing new Anima Fyrklor and Hoggit, and Phase III (April 2026) revealing three new Iia districts: Kakatini Grand Hotel, Pedestrian Street, and Fleming Tower.
