The creators of the highly anticipated open-world action RPG Neverness to Everness shared new details about the game in a series of questions and answers. They talked about the progress of development, the past stage of closed beta testing in China, as well as plans for an international release. We have collected all the most important information for you in a concise form.
- The exact dates have not yet been announced, but it is already known that the global beta test is planned for 2025. Currently, active work is underway on localization, optimization and improvement of game mechanics in order to provide players with the highest quality product.
- The progress of the game’s development could already be assessed in a closed beta in China, but they are trying to give the project a new level of quality. Systems for vehicle modification, anomaly management and store development are being created. Players will be able to participate in testing and influence development by providing feedback and ideas.
- One of the key areas of work was the reworking of the combat system. Particular attention is paid to improving ability animations, fluidity of actions, audiovisual effects and adaptation of mechanics to different playstyles. Battles promise to become more expressive and tactically rich.
- Neverness to Everness will become even more impressive from a visual point of view. Improvements will affect the textures of characters, vehicle models and environments. Reworked rendering, optimized color palette and smoother NPC animations will make the gameplay easier on the eyes and more fun.
- Although Neverness to Everness is created on the Unreal Engine 5, the issue of optimization remains a priority. Work is underway to improve performance for the next version of the test. A mobile version is being developed in parallel, but this will not affect the quality of graphics in the PC version.
- The English and Japanese versions have already been presented at Tokyo Game Show 2024. We are currently collaborating with professional localization specialists to further improve the translation. In addition, the team plans to participate in international gaming events to meet the community and present exclusive merch.
- The plot of Neverness to Everness will combine light humor and episodic storytelling. The goal is to create a vibrant, emotionally rich world where players can delve deeper into the history of the anomalies and the reality that surrounds them.
