Hotta Studio's eagerly anticipated game, Neverness to Everness, has reached a pivotal development stage with the launch of sign-ups for the Containment Test, a closed beta exclusive to PC. This upcoming test offers early access to the game's unique urban open-world action RPG, featuring a mix of chaos, exploration, and Esper-driven powers.
Set in the expansive city of Hethereau, Neverness to Everness immerses players in a world where supernatural anomalies coexist with high-speed chases and the freedom of everyday life. The game's trailers showcase an eccentric atmosphere, highlighted by graffiti-tagged skateboards with autonomous behavior, otters sporting television heads, and a pervasive sense of midnight unease.
Players will navigate Hethereau using Esper Abilities, tackling mysterious anomalies while balancing the duality of routine life and surreal crises. The Containment Test provides a sneak peek at the innovative systems that distinguish Neverness to Everness from other games in its genre.
Unlike traditional open-world RPGs, urban driving is a central mechanic in Neverness to Everness, complete with customizable cars and realistic, destructible crashes. The game also introduces lifestyle features such as home ownership and interior design, allowing players to immerse themselves in city life or indulge in obsessive decoration between missions.

The Containment Test will offer voice-overs in English, Japanese, and Chinese, alongside additional text language options. Although the beta is limited to PC, the full release is slated for PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android. Mobile users, unfortunately, will need to wait a bit longer.
Neverness to Everness is set to enter the competitive urban RPG market, facing off against titles like Zenless Zone Zero and Ananta. However, powered by Unreal Engine 5 and backed by Hotta Studio's experience with Tower of Fantasy, this game is poised to make a significant impact.
