What Is Neverness to Everness?

Neverness to Everness is an ambitious supernatural urban open-world action RPG developed by Hotta Studio (a subsidiary of Perfect World Games), built with Unreal Engine 5. Set in the sprawling city of Hethereau, players control an “Appraiser” who navigates a city where anomalies and humans coexist. The game blends high-speed vehicular exploration, anomaly investigation, and open-world combat with a universe-hopping twist.

Platforms & Launch Timeline

The first closed beta (“Containment Test”) launched in China on November 28, 2024. A new global closed beta phase is scheduled for July 3 to July 16, 2025, available on PC (Windows) with multi-language support. Mobile and console versions (PC, iOS, Android, PS5) are in active development, though no final release date has been confirmed yet.

Combat & Classes

Players have access to unique “Esper Abilities”—special powers that interact in complex ways with other characters. Characters also rely on stamina-limited traversal mechanics for sprinting, climbing, and dodging. The narrative introduces a mind-shift mechanic that allows Appraisers to temporarily inhabit other characters’ perspectives—adding a mysterious layer of gameplay and storytelling depth.

Multiplayer & PvP Modes

Neverness to Everness features both solo and multiplayer elements. While narrative progression is solo-driven, open-world exploration supports cooperative play. Players can commandeer vehicles, engage in street racing, and interact with city systems. PvP is not the core focus, but law enforcement and wanted systems introduce emergent competition through vehicle chases and public interactions.

Free-to-Play Systems & Monetization

The game will follow a free-to-play model, including gacha mechanics for acquiring characters and customization. Notably, the developers promise no traditional 50/50 pity system, meaning limited-time banner pulls guarantee the featured character at maximum rarity. Vehicle customization, city businesses, and fashion elements all support optional monetization, with no pay-to-win monetization signaled so far.

Technical & Visual Highlights

Powered by Unreal Engine 5 (specifically optimized around version 5.5), the game delivers realistic snow, real-time lighting, and detailed urban environments. Vehicle physics—including collisions and damage—add to immersion. The city of Hethereau blends neon-soaked streets, anomaly zones, and cinematic animations in quirky, emotional sequences.

Tier Rankings & Gameplay Identity

Rather than fixed class tiers, gameplay identity is built around team synergy, Esper Abilities, and choice-driven progression. Players can customize vehicles, runnable skills, and anomaly investigation tools. The mind-shift mechanic further shapes each playthrough, enabling unique approaches and narrative perspective.

Challenges & Community Feedback

Early impressions highlight stunning visuals, high-tech urban exploration, and fresh narrative tone—comedy-infused yet dramatic. Concerns include expected performance drops on weaker mobile devices due to heavy UE5 resource demands, and occasional gameplay jank or input lag during traversal. Closed beta testers have raised issues around combat fluidity and character control responsiveness.

Conclusion

Neverness to Everness combines multiverse mystery, anomaly-driven storytelling, and supernatural abilities to craft a fresh take on urban open-world RPGs. The upcoming closed beta (July 3–16, 2025) will showcase its mind-shift system, vehicle mechanics, and city simulation. If successful, it could set a new bar for high-budget, narrative-rich gacha RPGs.
