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 won't be participating, they can still follow the progress of this highly anticipated title.
Gematsu recently highlighted new lore details, which shouldn't surprise those familiar with the game's Eibon city trailers (see below). The expanded lore reveals a more comedic tone and showcases the blend of the bizarre and ordinary in Hetherau.
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 genre's urban trend, offers a unique selling point: open-world driving. Players can purchase and customize various vehicles, but be warned – realistic crash physics apply!
The game faces significant competition from titles like MiHoYo's Zenless Zone Zero and NetEase's Ananta (formerly Project Mugen), both strong contenders in the 3D mobile RPG space.
