Exciting news for fans of Hotta Studio—sign-ups are now live for the *Containment Test*, the upcoming closed beta for their ambitious new title, *Neverness to Everness*. This marks a significant milestone in development and offers players a first glimpse into the game’s unique urban open-world experience.
The *Containment Test* is currently available exclusively on PC, offering early access to the game's core mechanics: a fusion of high-octane action, deep exploration, and powerful Esper abilities. Set in the sprawling metropolis of Hethereau, the game blends everyday life with surreal supernatural events, creating an atmosphere that’s both familiar and deeply strange. Think graffiti-covered skateboards with minds of their own, otters with TV heads, and a pervasive sense of midnight unease.
Esper Abilities and Urban Exploration
In *Neverness to Everness*, your character wields Esper powers that allow you to confront anomalies and uncover the city’s secrets. The game encourages dual-layered gameplay—you can immerse yourself in daily routines like home ownership and interior design or dive headfirst into chaotic, reality-bending crises. This balance between lifestyle simulation and action-packed RPG elements sets it apart from other titles in the genre.
Driving and Destructibility
One standout feature is the emphasis on vehicular freedom. Unlike many open-world games, driving plays a central role in *Neverness to Everness*. With fully customizable cars and destructible environments, every high-speed chase feels dynamic and impactful. Whether you're evading enemies or just cruising through the neon-lit streets, the city feels alive beneath your wheels.
Beta Language Support
The *Containment Test* will launch with full voice-over support in three languages: English, Japanese, and Chinese. Additional text language options will also be available, making the experience more accessible to a global audience. However, as this is a closed beta, access remains limited to PC platforms only.
Mobile Release Timeline
While mobile players will have to wait for their turn, the full release of *Neverness to Everness* is planned for PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android. This multi-platform approach aligns with Hotta Studio’s vision of reaching a wide player base while maintaining high production quality across devices.
Competing in a Crowded Space
With titles like *Zenless Zone Zero* and *Ananta* already carving out space in the urban action RPG niche, *Neverness to Everness* enters a competitive market. However, its striking visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5, combined with the team’s proven experience from *Tower of Fantasy*, position it as a strong contender ready to stand on its own.
