Neverness to Everness Overview
Neverness to Everness (NTE) is an upcoming open-world action RPG slated for release on April 29, 2026, across PC, PlayStation 5, Android, and iOS. Developed by Hotta Studio (a subsidiary of Perfect World Games, which previously published Persona 5: The Phantom X in China and Korea) and built on Unreal Engine 5, it’s the studio’s next major title following Tower of Fantasy.
In Hethereau, an urban metropolis where everyday life is interspersed with supernatural events known as Anomalies, you, the player, become an Appraiser who works through the antique shop Eibon to investigate, neutralize, and "contain" these Anomalies. This world teems with surreal encounters, from TV-headed otters to night-skate graffiti artists.
Much like other gacha games on the market, it is a third-person action game with real-time character swapping, which allows players to build synergistic combos using Esper abilities marked by an Esper Cycle system. However, a defining feature of NTE is its extensive life simulation systems, where players can customize vehicles and purchase homes.

Neverness to Everness Gameplay
Neverness to Everness uses a third-person action-RPG system that has players using a four-character team to chain normal attacks, skills, and ultimate attacks. Using Esper abilities will affect enemies with elemental attributes, and when two adjacent attributes combine, they trigger synergies, similar to the elemental reactions seen in Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves.
Players can traverse the open-world city of Hethereau on foot, via public transit, or in customizable vehicles. Various life simulation elements let them engage with various activities in the city, like decorating their homes, managing shops, racing, playing mahjong, and more.
