Hotta Studios' open-world RPG, Neverness to Everness, is gearing up for its first closed beta—exclusively in mainland China. While international players can't participate, Gematsu offers a glimpse into the game's lore, expanding on the previously revealed city of Eibon. The new details highlight a blend of comedic and bizarre elements within the Hetherau setting.
Hotta Studios, a subsidiary of Perfect World (creators of Tower of Fantasy), is entering a crowded market. Neverness to Everness aims to stand out with unique features, including open-world driving with customizable vehicles and realistic damage from collisions.
The game faces tough competition from established titles like MiHoYo's Zenless Zone Zero and NetEase's Ananta (formerly Project Mugen), both of which occupy a similar 3D open-world RPG niche. The upcoming release will be a significant test for Neverness to Everness in a highly competitive market.
