Hotta Studio's eagerly awaited game, Neverness to Everness, has reached a pivotal point in its development journey with the launch of the closed beta sign-ups, known as the Containment Test. This exclusive PC beta offers early access to the unique urban open-world action RPG, blending chaos, exploration, and the use of Esper-driven powers.
The game unfolds in the vast city of Hethereau, where you'll encounter supernatural anomalies amidst high-speed chases and a lifestyle of freedom. If you've caught the trailers, you'll recognize the game's unique atmosphere—think graffiti-tagged skateboards with their own consciousness, otters sporting television heads, and a palpable sense of midnight unease.
In Neverness to Everness, you'll delve into this mysterious city using your Esper Abilities to tackle unexplained anomalies while juggling the dualities of everyday life and surreal crises. The Containment Test is your first glimpse into the innovative systems that distinguish this title from other games in its genre.
A standout feature is the emphasis on urban driving, complete with customizable cars and destructible environments that bring a touch of realism to the experience. Beyond the action, the game offers lifestyle elements such as home ownership and interior design, allowing you to immerse yourself in city life or indulge in some obsessive decorating between missions.

Currently, the Containment Test supports English, Japanese, and Chinese voice-overs, with additional text language options available. Although it's initially a PC-exclusive, plans are in place for a full release on PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android. Mobile users, however, 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 in the urban RPG genre. Yet, with the power of Unreal Engine 5 and Hotta Studio's proven success with Tower of Fantasy, this new world has the potential to make a significant impact.
