Neverness to Everness Launches April 29 With Porsche and Persona 5 Collabs
Neverness to Everness (NTE), the supernatural urban open-world RPG from Perfect World Games and Hotta Studio, is launching April 29 on PC, Mac, PS5, iOS, and Android. The studio dropped a packed livestream over the weekend with collaboration announcements, character reveals, and gameplay details. You can watch the VOD of the livestream down below.
The two headline collabs are attention-getters for sure. Porsche is bringing the 918 Spyder into the game as a drivable vehicle on the streets of Hethereau, the game’s open-world city. The Persona 5 crossover is more of a vibes play: music from Persona 5 Royal and Persona 5: The Phantom X will be available through the in-car radio and a new “walkman” feature that lets you listen while exploring on foot. If you’ve ever wanted to walk through a neon-soaked supernatural city with the Persona 5 soundtrack in your ears, NTE is about to make that happen.
On the character side, two limited-time banner recruits were shown off for the post-launch window. Nanally is a cat-girl with gravity-based abilities designed around vertical exploration, available on a 14-day banner. Hotori is a time-manipulating antique shop owner on a 21-day banner. A standard banner character named Aurelia was also previewed alongside the Enhanced Bond System, which deepens character relationships through improved voice acting, animations, and interactive encounters throughout the city like date spots and random street-level moments.
The side content lineup is dense. There’s a City Tycoon system with fishing milestones that unlock skins, a “Swift Travel” system with interactive NPC requests, a full mahjong mini-game called Little Sparrow (complete with unlockable tables and tile skins), and a revamped multiplayer mode called Pink Paws Heist with cooperative play and exclusive outfit and vehicle rewards.
On the tech side, NTE now supports full-scale global ray tracing for lighting, reflections, and shadows across the city. The studio says significant optimization passes have been completed for both mobile and PC to keep performance smooth across all platforms. The game runs on Unreal Engine 5.
NTE is built around the city of Hethereau, a seamless open world where humans coexist with supernatural anomalies. The game plays out through episodic comedy-drama storylines with a roster of characters who each have their own abilities and personalities. Outside of the main story, you can collect and race sports cars, design your own city apartment, run a business, and dig into whatever side activities the game throws at you.
NTE launches April 29 on PC, Mac, PS5, iOS, and Android. Pre-registration is open now on the game’s official website.
