A brand-new free-to-play title is poised to shake up the open-world genre when it drops on April 29, 2026. Neverness to Everness (NTE), developed by Hotta Studio under Perfect World Games, delivers a supernatural urban adventure set in the vibrant metropolis of Hethereau. Players step into the role of an unlicensed Anomaly Hunter, combining fast-paced action role-playing combat with life-sim elements straight out of a GTA playbook.
The game mixes gacha-style character collection and elemental hack-and-slash battles with everyday city living. Drive cars through neon-lit streets, buy and decorate apartments, invite companions over, run businesses in the City Tycoon system, go fishing for rewards, or unwind with a full mahjong mini-game called Little Sparrow. Competitive street racing on vaporwave-inspired tracks adds even more variety to the mix. All of this comes wrapped in a generous free-to-play model packed with launch rewards and over 100 free pulls for new players.
Pink Paws Heist and Coldmount Hospital
One of the biggest highlights is the co-op Pink Paws Heist mode. Up to four players team up for a high-stakes bank infiltration that plays out under a strict time limit. The crew must sneak in, grab the loot, and escape while waves of anomalies close in. Success unlocks exclusive outfits and vehicles, making every run feel tense and rewarding. A separate asymmetric horror experience called Coldmount Hospital pushes the boundaries further by turning the tables on players in a psychological scare fest.
Porsche Collaboration
Car enthusiasts will light up at the confirmed Porsche collaboration. In a future update, players will get behind the wheel of the iconic Porsche 918 Spyder and cruise the streets of Hethereau. The partnership even includes a visit to an in-game Porsche headquarters, letting drivers fully embrace the “Driven by Dreams” spirit. Vehicles already play a central role in navigation, so adding premium supercars like this one raises the immersion level significantly.
Persona 5 Music Collaboration
Music fans score big too thanks to the Persona 5 collaboration. Iconic tracks from Persona 5 Royal and Persona 5: The Phantom X will play on in-game car radios and portable walkmans, turning every drive into a stylish soundtrack experience.
Launch Details
Neverness to Everness launches globally on PC, PlayStation 5, iOS, Android, and Mac with full cross-platform play. Pre-registration milestones have already unlocked community rewards such as the exclusive Officer Whisker glider, and more incentives are rolling out at launch.
With its seamless blend of high-octane action, social simulation, and big-name partnerships, Neverness to Everness looks ready to carve out its own lane in the crowded open-world space. Whether you are grinding anomalies in co-op raids or simply cruising the city in a sleek Porsche, the streets of Hethereau are about to get a lot more exciting.
