Neverness to Everness Launches on April 29 for PC, PlayStation 5, Mac, iOS, and Android

Hotta Studio and Perfect World Games have officially confirmed that Neverness to Everness will launch globally on April 29, 2026 for PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android, with full cross platform support centered around its supernatural urban setting of Hethereau. The release date and platform rollout were confirmed through the game’s official channels, alongside the start of a global pre registration campaign.

That gives the game a much firmer commercial runway after nearly 2 years of growing attention around its urban fantasy pitch, flashy traversal, and free to play structure. Set in a neon lit city where supernatural anomalies exist alongside everyday life, Neverness to Everness puts players in the role of an Appraiser working out of Eibon, an antique shop that handles paranormal incidents and gradually uncovers a larger conspiracy beneath the city’s surface. The tone remains one of the project’s biggest strengths, blending modern city aesthetics with surreal supernatural disruptions in a way that helps it stand apart from more traditional fantasy or post apocalyptic gacha RPGs.

The newly launched Hethereau Residents Guide pre-registration campaign is now live on the official website, and Perfect World is using it to build momentum ahead of launch with both in game and real world rewards. Players who complete missions, invite friends, and log into their PWG accounts can earn items such as Fabricated Dice x1, A Class Arc: The Forgotten, Fons x3,000, Beetle Coin x6,000, Senior Hunter Guide x3, and Colorless Dye x3. The campaign also includes physical prize draws featuring Amazon gift cards and a PlayStation 5 Digital Edition.

Hotta also used the announcement cycle to spotlight Jiuyuan, a new featured character described as Sperry Express’s top courier. On the surface, she appears calm and diligent, but the official character material frames her as a highly capable informant who moves comfortably among the city’s factions and reads people with sharp intuition.

From a gameplay standpoint, Neverness to Everness continues to push one of its most marketable ideas: a dense anime styled city where players can do much more than just fight. Traversal includes driving customizable vehicles, but also running, climbing, wall running, swimming, and gliding, while combat uses a real time party system of up to 4 characters with mid fight switching and chained Esper abilities. That structure places the game in a familiar space for players who enjoy character synergy based action RPGs, but the urban layout, vehicle systems, and supernatural case driven setup give it a more contemporary identity than many of its genre peers.

There is also a strong lifestyle simulation layer in the pitch. Beyond missions and combat, players can engage with side activities such as buying and decorating homes, managing shops, racing vehicles, and playing mahjong, which reinforces the game’s larger ambition to make Hethereau feel like a living city rather than just a mission hub. If Hotta can balance those systems well at launch, this could become one of the more interesting free to play urban RPG releases of 2026.

On the technical side, Neverness to Everness is also positioning itself as an early showcase title for NVIDIA’s newer rendering roadmap. NVIDIA has already listed the game among titles planned to support DLSS 5, which the company says is arriving in Fall 2026. NVIDIA has also named NTE: Neverness to Everness among the titles tied to its DLSS expansion messaging, reinforcing that the game is being treated as part of the next wave of visually ambitious PC releases.

Overall, the April 29 release date gives Neverness to Everness a clear chance to convert curiosity into scale. The market is already crowded with anime styled action RPGs, but Hotta’s mix of supernatural urban worldbuilding, open city traversal, character combat, and lifestyle side content gives this one a more distinctive lane than the nickname comparisons alone suggest. Now the key question is whether the full launch can deliver enough polish, progression depth, and live service momentum to stand out once players actually hit the streets of Hethereau.

What do you think, does Neverness to Everness look like it has the potential to become the next big urban fantasy gacha hit?
