Hotta Studios' upcoming 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, they can still anticipate the game's release by keeping an eye on updates.
Gematsu recently highlighted new lore details, expanding on the game's blend of quirky humor and the unusual coexistence of the ordinary and extraordinary in the city of Hetherau. The trailers showcasing Eibon (see below) offer a glimpse into this unique world.
Hotta Studios, a subsidiary of Perfect World (creators of the successful Tower of Fantasy), is venturing into the increasingly popular urban-focused 3D RPG market. Neverness to Everness aims to stand out with several key features.
One standout feature is open-world driving, allowing players to cruise the city streets in customizable vehicles. However, be warned: realistic crash physics add a layer of challenge!
The game faces strong competition from titles like MiHoYo's Zenless Zone Zero and NetEase's Ananta (formerly Project Mugen), both setting high standards in the mobile 3D open-world RPG genre.
