Neverness to Everness is set to hold its first closed beta test, but only in China

Hotta Studios' upcoming open-world RPG, Neverness to Everness, is gearing up for its first closed beta test – exclusively in mainland China. While international players won't be participating, they can still follow the progress.

Gematsu recently highlighted new lore details, which shouldn't surprise those familiar with the Eibon city trailers (see below). The game expands on its comedic story elements and showcases the blend of the bizarre and ordinary in Hetherau.

Hotta Studios, a subsidiary of Perfect World (creators of the successful Tower of Fantasy), is entering a competitive 3D RPG market with a unique twist: open-world driving. Players can purchase and customize various vehicles, experiencing realistic crash physics.

Neverness to Everness 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.
