The development of Hotta Studio's ambitious project, Neverness to Everness, reaches a new phase with the launch of closed beta sign-ups. Dubbed the Containment Test, this PC-only preview offers players their first hands-on experience with the game's unique combination of urban exploration, supernatural abilities, and chaotic action combat.
Neverness to Everness transports players to the sprawling metropolis of Hethereau - a city where the bizarre coexists with the mundane. From self-aware skateboards covered in graffiti to otters sporting television heads, the game's earlier trailers have established its peculiar aesthetic that blends urban lifestyle with creeping midnight oddities.
Through supernatural Esper powers, you'll navigate both everyday urban life and otherworldly disturbances across this open world. The Containment Test serves as your first opportunity to experiment with mechanics that differentiate Neverness from similar titles in the genre.

The game introduces several fresh concepts to the RPG format: vehicular gameplay takes center stage with customizable cars and realistic collision physics, while domestic activities like home customization offer relaxing counterpoints to the high-octane action. These systems promise to create a more immersive urban experience beyond traditional combat encounters.
The beta currently offers voice acting in English, Japanese, and Chinese, with additional subtitle language support. Though initially PC-exclusive, full launch plans include PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android versions - meaning mobile gamers will need to practice patience.
Arriving amidst stiff competition from Zenless Zone Zero and Ananta in the urban fantasy RPG space, Neverness to Everness benefits from Unreal Engine 5's graphical capabilities and Hotta Studio's established reputation from Tower of Fantasy. Could this be the next breakout title in the genre?
