Hotta Studios' upcoming 3D open-world RPG, Neverness to Everness, is gearing up for its inaugural closed beta test. Unfortunately, participation is limited to mainland China. However, fans worldwide can eagerly anticipate its release, following developments from afar.
Gematsu recently highlighted new lore reveals for the game, adding depth to the already intriguing world. Trailers showcasing the city of Eibon have already offered glimpses into the game's unique blend of the bizarre and the everyday in the setting of Hetherau. The comedic tone also promises a refreshing take on the genre.
Hotta Studios, a subsidiary of Perfect World (creators of the successful Tower of Fantasy), is entering a competitive market. Neverness to Everness, while fitting within the established 3D open-world RPG framework with an urban focus, boasts distinct features to set it apart.
A standout feature is open-world driving, allowing players to cruise the city streets in customizable vehicles. While the thrill of high-speed driving is undeniable, players are cautioned about the realistic consequences of crashes.
The game faces stiff competition from titles like MiHoYo's Zenless Zone Zero and NetEase's Ananta (formerly Project Mugen), both establishing high benchmarks within the genre. Despite this, Neverness to Everness promises a unique and engaging experience for players fortunate enough to access it.
