Perfect World Games and Hotta Studio have swung open the gates of Hethereau once more. The Co-Ex Test closed beta for Neverness to Everness (NTE), their supernatural urban open-world RPG, kicked off recently on PC and PlayStation 5, running until February 20th. While direct registration is closed, players can still snag access via Twitch Drops by watching partnered streamers and linking a Perfect World account. Mobile pre-registration for iOS and Android is also live now, building hype ahead of a full cross-platform launch.
NTE places players in the sprawling city of Hethereau, a seamless UE5-powered world where humans mingle with anomalies. As anomaly hunters, you control vibrant characters tackling episodic comedy-drama stories, modding supercars, running businesses, or designing apartments. This test builds on prior betas with refined systems, earning praise for immersive city life and anomaly combat.
Key unlocks in the Co-Ex Test amp up the urban fantasy:
- Crime Mechanics - Commit crimes to raise wanted level; evade police pursuits or get jailed. Repay debts via work or stage breakouts.
- Driving & Modifications - New muscle cars, supercars, bikes; first-person view, honking, dismounts. Tires pop, vehicles take knockback/damage/explosions. Updated physics/handling/mods.
- Urban Gameplay - Fish, taxi for cash, race, play Mahjong/rhythm games, barista gigs, Pink Paws Heist for loot.
- Outfits - Sleek minimalist fashion for protagonist/main characters; practical, ribbon-free urban style.
These additions address feedback from earlier tests like CBT2, where players logged 150+ hours praising visuals and variety but noting polish needs. Recent impressions call it "not what I expected" in the best way: Tower of Fantasy devs deliver GTA-meets-anomalies with engaging systems and "gorgeous characters."
r/NevernessToEverness is being filled up with posts and content of players sharing daily life clips in the game: cruising neon streets, heisting with crews, anomaly hunts in portals. One Reddit post raves about "cool enviroments" via dimension-shifting combat, while YouTube day-one reviews highlight potential despite gacha and pay to win elements being whispered about amongst players.
Pre-download for the game is live for selected testers; Twitch Drops offer last-minute keys. Mobile pre-reg unlocks rewards at milestones. Hotta's track record with Tower of Fantasy fuels optimism, though some eye monetization warily. As Hethereau pulses with chaos, this test could solidify NTE as 2026's urban anomaly standout. Jump in and play via streams or pre-reg; the city's never-ending immersion awaits.
