Hotta Studios' upcoming open-world RPG, Neverness to Everness, is gearing up for its first closed beta test. Unfortunately, this initial test will be exclusive to mainland China.
Gematsu recently highlighted new lore details for the game, expanding on the previously revealed city of Eibon (see trailer below). The updates showcase a blend of comedic and serious story elements, highlighting the unique coexistence of the bizarre and the ordinary within the game's world of Hetherau.
Hotta Studios, a subsidiary of Perfect World (creators of the popular Tower of Fantasy), is entering a competitive market. Neverness to Everness, while fitting within the established 3D open-world RPG genre, distinguishes itself with unique features.
A standout feature is open-world driving. Players can enjoy high-speed city chases, customizing and purchasing various vehicles. However, realistic collision physics mean reckless driving has consequences.
The game faces strong competition from titles like MiHoYo's Zenless Zone Zero and NetEase's Ananta (formerly Project Mugen), both established players in the 3D open-world mobile RPG space.
