Neverness to Everness release window, pre-registration link, platforms, and more – Destructoid
Neverness to Everness is an exciting sci-fi RPG that has us explore an open-world cyber-punk-like city called Hethereau. Here’s everything we know about the game’s release window, platforms, and more.
When will Neverness to Everness launch?
Unfortunately, we’ve heard no details about a possible release date for Neverness to Everness. However, there will be a Singularity test for those who live in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau, China, so it may not be far off from an official release worldwide.
Can you pre-register?
As of the time of writing, you can pre-register for access to Neverness to Everness. Go to the official Perfect World website and then click the link underneath the art of the city. Put your email into the text box and then choose between PC, mobile, and console by clicking the tickbox. You can select multiple if you wish. If it goes through, it should say “Pre-registration successful” and “Welcome to Hethereau.”
Is Neverness to Everness free-to-play?
Yes, the game will be free-to-play on all of its available platforms.
All Neverness to Everness platforms
Neverness to Everness is confirmed to release for mobile platforms, PC, and the PS5 as of the time of writing. The PlayStation Blog article only mentions PS5. “Neverness to Everness (NTE for short) is a supernatural urban open-world game set to release for free on PS5,” said the game’s producer Kee Zhang.
The official press release does mention that the game will be released for multiple consoles, however, so Neverness to Everness may also launch on Xbox Series X|S or the next Nintendo system as well. Currently, Hotta Studio’s last game Tower of Fantasy is available on both PS4 and PS5. Neverness to Everness runs on Unreal Engine 5, so it’s unlikely to be released on past generations of platforms like the PS4 or Xbox One.
What engine is Neverness to Everness on?
As previously mentioned, Neverness to Everness is being developed with Unreal Engine 5. It will likely see a graphical boost from Hotta Studios’ last game, Tower of Fantasy. The initial press release claims the game will be “boasting cutting-edge NVIDIA DLSS rendering and ray tracing technology.”
All Neverness to Everness characters confirmed so far
So far, we have been given information on three characters in Neverness to Everness so far. They include:
No male characters have been revealed for the game yet. Mint is a part of Containment Unit 2 and is apparently a rising star within the company. She knows a lot about Hethereau and the people that dwell in it. She can be very chatty, but only during off-hours. In battle, she’s a dual-wielded badass. Her intro skills have her make flowers that cause damage while you’re attacking. She can also create a thunderous storm around her.
Nanally is a kind, wise, and calm character you’ll meet at the antique shop Eibon. She’s helped with multiple major Anomaly containment and nullification operations, including the “Fluffy Demon King Showdown,” “Danzabourou’s Revenge,” and more. She has a special move called the Coloccis Ultimate Death Shadow Nether Punch, which sounds deadly to watch in person. Her weapon is melee-focused with punches and kicks. Nanally can also go into kitty mode to climb walls and ceilings in the open world.
Sakiri is a little kid who has a pet/hammer anomaly called Kiroumaru. We don’t know too much about this character, but she is the rule maker for the fridge sticky notes at Eibon. This character is an adorable bean, and she can use her weapon as a mount for traveling. She can cause a lot of damage with Kiromaru.
You’ll also control your main character. They have a sword at hand and can strike foes with hard-hitting attacks that seem to split reality.
What is the gameplay of Neverness to Everness?
This game features action-RPG combat similar to Genshin Impact and Tower of Fantasy. You’re switching between four party members as you’re fighting supernatural enemies in the game. Each character has their own special abilities to add to the fight. For example, Sakiri slams her heavy hammer anomaly Kiroumaru towards foes in an epic attack.
In the open world itself, you’ll be able to drive cars to get around the city like in Grand Theft Auto V. The city looks pretty big, so it’s a good feature to have. The press release says the game “offers a variety of lifestyles for the players to choose from: modify sports cars, manage businesses, etc., and experience a vibrant urban life in the way you like.” You’ll also own your own apartment or perhaps even a house in the game.
You’ll be able to customize your cars with things like sprays, different paint, wheels, and spoilers. It will likely be fun to buy all sorts of sports cars in the game, such as GTA Online. With the day and night cycle, it should be stunning to see your car’s lights beaming within the elements like rain. You’ll be able to drive in first-person as well.
