Neverness to Everness is set to hold its first closed beta test, but only in China

Hotta Studios' 3D open-world RPG, Neverness to Everness, is gearing up for its first closed beta test – exclusively in mainland China. While international players will miss out on this initial test, Gematsu offers a glimpse into the game's intriguing lore updates. The recently revealed details further elaborate on the game's blend of humor and the unusual coexistence of the ordinary and extraordinary within the city of Hetherau. Trailers showcasing Eibon (see below) provide a visual preview of this unique world.

Hotta Studios, a subsidiary of Perfect World (creators of the popular Tower of Fantasy), is entering a competitive market. Neverness to Everness, while sharing similarities with other 3D urban RPGs, distinguishes itself with unique features.

A standout feature is open-world driving. Players can customize and drive a variety of vehicles, experiencing realistic consequences for reckless driving. The game faces strong competition from titles like MiHoYo's Zenless Zone Zero and NetEase's Ananta (formerly Project Mugen), both setting high standards within the genre.
