BEIJING, June 23, 2025 — In an exciting announcement during a special livestream event, Perfect World Games and Hotta Studio revealed that the highly-anticipated supernatural urban RPG, NTE (Neverness to Everness), will enter a Closed Beta test phase for Windows PC from July 3 to July 16. This announcement has set the gaming community abuzz as new features and enhancements promise to elevate the gameplay experience.
The livestream, aired on Sunday, offered a comprehensive look at the upcoming features, which include a new vehicle requisition and wanted system, adding layers of complexity to the driving dynamics within the game. Players can now commandeer vehicles at will, but must navigate a multi-level warning system triggered by unlawful actions. This system is designed to escalate based on player behavior, adding a thrilling challenge to the game.
Innovative Gameplay Features
The update also introduces online street racing challenges, allowing players to compete with friends or rival racing crews to establish dominance over the city streets. This addition is expected to appeal to fans of competitive racing and enhance the social aspects of the game.
Furthermore, the game’s dynamic weather system has been significantly upgraded. The new snow mechanics, featuring real-time PBR (physically based rendering) and subsurface scattering effects, bring an unprecedented level of realism to the city of Hethereau. Each snowflake appears lifelike and translucent, enhancing the immersive experience for players.
Exploring the World of Hethereau
NTE is set in the expansive city of Hethereau, a seamless open world powered by Unreal Engine 5. The game invites players to explore a universe where humans and supernatural anomalies coexist. Players can control a variety of characters, each with unique abilities and personalities, to delve into episodic, comedy-drama storylines that investigate these anomalies.
Beyond the core narrative, NTE offers a plethora of activities. Players can engage in collecting, modding, and racing sports cars, designing chic city retreats, and even managing businesses. This diverse array of activities ensures that players have a rich and varied experience, promising endless engagement within the game’s universe.
