Hotta Studio's highly anticipated game, Neverness to Everness, has reached a significant development milestone with the launch of sign-ups for the Containment Test, a closed beta phase exclusive to PC users. This beta phase, known as the Containment Test, offers early access to the game's unique urban open-world action RPG experience, blending chaos, exploration, and the use of 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 a sense of lifestyle freedom. The game's trailers showcase a distinctive atmosphere, featuring graffiti-tagged skateboards that seem to have a life of their own, otters with television heads, and an eerie midnight ambiance.
Players will navigate this bizarre city using Esper Abilities to tackle mysterious anomalies while balancing the everyday life and surreal challenges. The Containment Test provides an initial glimpse into the innovative systems that distinguish Neverness to Everness from other titles in the genre.
Unlike traditional open-world RPGs, urban driving is a fundamental aspect of Neverness to Everness, with customizable cars and realistic crash dynamics. The game also introduces lifestyle features such as home ownership and interior design, allowing players to engage with the city beyond combat, whether by settling in or meticulously decorating their spaces between missions.

The Containment Test will feature voice-overs in English, Japanese, and Chinese, along with additional text language options. Although currently limited to PC, the full release of Neverness to Everness is slated for PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android. Mobile gamers, unfortunately, will need to exercise a bit more patience.
Neverness to Everness enters a competitive field, facing off against titles like Zenless Zone Zero and Ananta within the urban RPG genre. However, with the power of Unreal Engine 5 and Hotta Studio's successful history with Tower of Fantasy, this new title has the potential to establish its own unique niche.
