Hotta Studios' open-world RPG, Neverness to Everness, is gearing up for its first closed beta test – exclusively in mainland China. While international players can't participate, they can still catch glimpses of the game's progress.
Gematsu recently highlighted new lore details, likely unsurprising to those who've seen the Eibon city trailers (see below). The game appears to blend a comedic tone with unusual elements within the Hetherau setting.
Hotta Studios, a subsidiary of Perfect World (creators of the successful Tower of Fantasy), is entering a competitive market. Neverness to Everness aims to stand out, particularly with its open-world driving feature. Players can purchase and customize various vehicles, experiencing realistic crash physics.
The game faces strong competition from titles like MiHoYo's Zenless Zone Zero and NetEase's Ananta (formerly Project Mugen), both setting high standards in the mobile 3D open-world RPG genre.
