Neverness to Everness continues its development cycle with the new Containment Test
- Sign-ups for the Containment Test are live
- Three languages currently supported
- Mobile users will have to wait
Hotta Studio’s next major release, Neverness to Everness, has entered its next development milestone with closed beta sign-ups now live. Officially titled the Containment Test, this upcoming PC-exclusive beta will give you early access to the urban open-world action RPG’s blend of chaos, exploration, and Esper-driven powers.
Set in the sprawling city of Hethereau, Neverness to Everness promises a setting where supernatural anomalies exist alongside high-speed chases and lifestyle freedom. If you’ve seen the trailers, you’ll know the vibe leans into the weird – graffiti-tagged skateboards with minds of their own, otters with television heads, and an unmistakable midnight unease.
You will explore this strange city using Esper Abilities, taking on unexplained anomalies while navigating the duality of daily life and surreal crises. This beta offers a first look at many of the systems that set Neverness to Everness apart from its genre competitors.
Unlike other open-world RPGs, urban driving is a core mechanic, with customisable cars and destructible crashes adding a touch of realism. Lifestyle features like home ownership and interior design also expand the scope beyond combat, allowing you to settle into city life, or just decorate obsessively between missions.

The Containment Test will support English, Japanese, and Chinese voice-overs, with additional text language options, and while it’s currently limited to PC, the full release is planned for PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android as well. If you’re waiting to play on mobile, you’ll just have to wait a little.
Neverness to Everness is set to enter a crowded arena, with Zenless Zone Zero and Ananta all competing in the urban RPG space. Still, with the visual muscle of Unreal Engine 5 behind it and Hotta Studio’s track record from Tower of Fantasy, this new world may just carve out a place of its own.
