Neverness to Everness is Hotta Studio\'s upcoming open world RPG

Following the success of their sci-fi, fantasy, open-world RPG Tower of Fantasy, Hotta Studio is set to captivate gamers once again with their latest project, Neverness to Everness. This upcoming open-world RPG promises a unique blend of supernatural urban storytelling and expansive lifestyle content, ensuring a diverse and engaging experience for players at launch.

Welcome to this Weird and Wonderful World

As you enter the vast metropolis of Hethereau, you'll immediately sense that something is off. Is it the peculiar trees, the enigmatic people, or perhaps the otter sporting a television for a head that just strolled by? The strangeness doesn't fade with nightfall; midnight ushers in a gang of graffiti-covered skateboards causing chaos.

Clearly, something unusual is afoot, and it's up to you and your friends to unravel the mystery. Armed with the extraordinary Esper Abilities, you're equipped to explore freely and confront the myriad of inexplicable Anomalies plaguing the city. Dive in, resolve the crises, and perhaps even blend into the daily life of your new urban home.

More Than Just an Adventure

While the traditional elements of combat and exploration are thrilling, the inclusion of lifestyle activities in Neverness to Everness adds a delightful layer of depth. The urban world you inhabit can truly become your own, thanks to a variety of activities at your disposal.

Fancy that sports car that just zoomed past? You can purchase one—or several—and customize it to reflect your personal style, then hit the streets for some adrenaline-pumping races. For those who prefer staying in, you can climb the virtual property ladder, buy a house, and transform it into your dream home with Extreme Makeover Hethereau Edition. The city is brimming with more to explore; you just need to venture out and discover it.

However, like many modern open-world games, Neverness to Everness requires a constant online connection, which can be a bit of a letdown but is a common necessity in today's gaming landscape.

A Feast for the Eyes

For those who appreciate the finer details of game design, Neverness to Everness is built on Unreal Engine 5, utilizing the engine's Nanite Virtualized Geometry system to create a stunningly realistic urban environment. Step into any of the city's shops, and you'll be greeted with meticulously crafted details. Combined with NVIDIA DLSS rendering and ray tracing, the game offers a visually spectacular experience.

Hotta Studio has also masterfully used lighting to enhance the eerie atmosphere of Hethereau's sprawling cityscape. The skyline, dotted with skyscrapers and punctuated by mysterious lighting, adds a layer of intrigue that perfectly complements the game's narrative of strange and dangerous occurrences.

While Neverness to Everness isn't set to release immediately, and a specific date hasn't been announced yet, the good news is that it will be free to play. You can secure your spot by pre-ordering on the official website.
