Hotta Studio's New Open World RPG: Neverness to Everness

Following the success of their sci-fi fantasy open-world RPG, Tower of Fantasy, Hotta Studio has unveiled their latest project: the eagerly awaited open-world RPG, Neverness to Everness. This new game promises to merge a supernatural urban narrative with extensive lifestyle elements, catering to a wide range of player interests right from the start.

Welcome to this Weird and Wonderful World

As you set foot into the sprawling city of Hethereau, you might sense that something is off. Is it the peculiar trees, the enigmatic citizens, or perhaps the otter sporting a television for a head that catches your eye? The strangeness doesn't fade with nightfall, as midnight brings out a gang of graffiti-adorned skateboards causing chaos.

Clearly, something unusual is afoot, and it's up to you and your friends to unravel the mystery. Why you? Because you possess the remarkable Esper Abilities, granting you the power to explore freely and confront the city's inexplicable Anomalies. Dive in, solve the crises, and you might just find a place in the everyday life of Hethereau.

More Than Just an Adventure

While combat and exploration are staples of these games, Neverness to Everness adds a rich layer of lifestyle activities that allow players to truly make the urban world their own. Did that sleek sports car zooming by catch your eye? You can purchase one, customize it to reflect your personal style, and race into the night for some adrenaline-pumping action. For those who prefer a quieter life, you can buy a house and embark on your own version of "Extreme Makeover: Hethereau Edition," designing it to your heart's content. There's a whole city to explore and enjoy.

It's worth noting that, like many modern open-world games, Neverness to Everness requires a constant internet connection, which might be a slight inconvenience but is part of today's gaming landscape.

A Feast for the Eyes

For those who delve into the technical aspects of game design, Neverness to Everness is built on Unreal Engine 5, utilizing the engine's Nanite Virtualized Geometry system to achieve a highly realistic urban landscape. Each shop in the city is packed with intricate details, enhanced by NVIDIA DLSS rendering and ray tracing for a visually stunning experience.

Hotta Studio has meticulously crafted the lighting to enhance the mysterious ambiance of Hethereau's sprawling cityscape. The skyline, dotted with skyscrapers and punctuated by eerie lighting, perfectly complements the game's narrative of strange happenings and otherworldly dangers.

While the anticipation for Neverness to Everness is high, players will need to wait a bit longer as a release date has not yet been announced. The good news is that the game will be free to play, and you can pre-order it now by visiting the official website.
