Hotta Studio, the creative minds behind the acclaimed sci-fi, fantasy, open-world RPG Tower of Fantasy, are gearing up to launch their next exciting 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 all players at launch.
Welcome to this weird and wonderful world
Upon entering the vast metropolis of Hethereau, you'll immediately sense an otherworldly atmosphere. From the peculiar trees to the enigmatic residents, and even an otter sporting a television for a head, the city is brimming with oddities. As night falls, the strangeness intensifies with graffiti-covered skateboards roaming the streets. It's clear that something mysterious is afoot, and it's up to you and your friends to uncover the truth. Armed with the powerful Esper Abilities, you'll explore freely and confront the bizarre Anomalies plaguing Hethereau. Dive into the adventure, resolve the crises, and perhaps even find your place in the city's daily life.
More than just an adventure
While combat and exploration are staples of RPGs, Neverness to Everness goes a step further by integrating rich lifestyle activities. The urban world of Hethereau offers numerous opportunities for personal expression and engagement. Fancy that sports car that just zoomed by? You can purchase and customize your own, tailoring it to your unique style before hitting the streets for some thrilling races. If you prefer a more settled life, you can buy a home and transform it into your personal sanctuary with the "Extreme Makeover Hethereau Edition." There's a whole city to explore and countless activities awaiting your discovery.
However, it's worth noting that to fully immerse yourself in this world, you'll need to stay connected online at all times—a common requirement in today's open-world games.
A feast for the eyes
For those who appreciate the finer details of game design, Neverness to Everness is a visual delight. Developed using Unreal Engine 5, the game leverages the engine's Nanite Virtualized Geometry system to create a stunningly realistic urban environment. Each shop you visit is filled with meticulously crafted details, enhanced by NVIDIA DLSS rendering and ray tracing for an unparalleled graphical experience.
Hotta Studio has also masterfully utilized lighting to enhance the eerie ambiance of Hethereau's sprawling cityscape. The skyline, dotted with skyscrapers and bathed in mysterious lighting, perfectly complements the city's mysterious and dangerous undertones.
While the excitement for Neverness to Everness is palpable, fans will need to exercise patience as no release date has been announced yet. However, the game will be free to play, and you can pre-order it now by visiting the official website.
