Neverness to Everness Looks to Deliver the Anime GTA Fantasy You Never Knew You Wanted in New Footage

Neverness to Everness, the open-world gacha RPG in development by Hotta Studio, looks to deliver the anime GTA fantasy that no one knew they wanted, judging from some recent footage.

The new footage was shared as part of a new Containment Test Preview livestream that provided a new look at some of the game’s features and mechanics, such as the urban open-world, characters, traversal, and more. As if the urban setting wasn’t enough to label the game as a sort of anime GTA, the developer shared during the livestream footage of one of the main playable characters stealing a car and becoming wanted by the police. While the disconnect between the character design and committing crimes is enormous, it’s undeniable that there’s something charming in seeing an anime GTA experience. Hopefully, the game will be as fun to play as it looks in this early footage.

Neverness to Everness was announced almost one year ago by Hotta Studio, a Perfect World subsidiary that released Tower of Fantasy, another gacha RPG, a couple of years back, which failed to make a significant splash in the genre dominated by HoYoverse’s games like Genshin Impact. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the game will feature cel-shaded graphics like most games featuring Japanese anime aesthetics and will support advanced PC features like NVIDIA DLSS and ray tracing. More information on the game and any upcoming playtests can be found on its official website.
