- Registrations now open for the Containment Test

- Initial beta supports three languages

- Mobile version coming in future release

Hotta Studio's ambitious urban action RPG Neverness to Everness has reached a new development stage, with closed beta sign-ups officially available. Dubbed the Containment Test, this PC-only testing phase offers players their first hands-on experience with the game's unique blend of supernatural abilities, urban exploration, and chaotic open-world gameplay.

Set within the expansive metropolis of Hethereau, Neverness to Everness presents a world where supernatural phenomena intertwine with fast-paced action and personal freedom. Early footage shows the game's distinctive surreal aesthetic - from sentient graffiti-covered skateboards to television-headed otters - all bathed in an atmosphere of midnight mystery.

Players will navigate this bizarre urban landscape using supernatural Esper abilities, balancing daily life activities with investigations into strange anomalies. The Containment Test provides early access to many of the game's innovative systems that differentiate it from other open-world titles.

Unlike traditional RPGs, the game emphasizes urban mobility with customized vehicles and realistic crash physics. Lifestyle elements like property ownership and interior decorating add depth beyond combat, allowing players to personalize their experience between missions.

The Containment Test will feature English, Japanese, and Chinese voice acting alongside multiple text language options. While currently PC-exclusive, the full launch will expand to PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android platforms. Mobile gamers will need to be patient for their turn.

Neverness to Everness enters a competitive field alongside urban RPGs like Zenless Zone Zero and Ananta. However, with Unreal Engine 5's technical prowess and Hotta Studio's proven expertise from Tower of Fantasy, this unusual urban fantasy might claim its own unique space in the genre.
