Closed betas are where big RPG launches start building momentum—both for players and for the communities that will judge the final release. Hotta Studio is now inviting applicants to the closed beta of its upcoming anime gacha RPG, Neverness to Everness (NTE), with a fresh trailer and a clear focus on PC testing.
Sign-ups are open for NTE’s PC-only closed beta
Hotta Studio, best known as the developer behind Tower of Fantasy, has opened the application process for the closed beta test of Neverness to Everness (NTE). The test is available exclusively on PC, even though the game is planned for mobile platforms in the future.
To apply, interested players need to visit the official NTE website, sign in to their accounts, and complete the application form. At the time of this announcement, Hotta Studio has not shared how long applications will remain open or when the beta testing period itself will begin.
What players will do in the futuristic open city of Hetero
Neverness to Everness is set in Hetero, a sprawling futuristic metropolis where players explore an open-world urban environment and encounter mysterious anomalies. The closed beta is positioned as a multi-region experience, with support for three languages: English, Japanese, and Chinese—allowing players to engage in their preferred language during testing.
New trailer highlights characters and city travel—progress won’t carry over
As part of the push to recruit testers, Hotta Studio released a new trailer for NTE. The video primarily spotlights the game’s diverse cast of characters. It also draws attention to a mobility-focused gameplay element: traveling through the city using different transportation methods.
Importantly for applicants, progress made during the closed beta will be wiped after the testing phase ends. That means players should expect a fresh start when the full game launches.

Expert View
This sign-up opening suggests Hotta Studio is treating NTE like a long-tail live product from day one: gathering structured feedback on a PC build before the broader mobile audience arrives. For the wider competitive scene, it also signals that anime gacha RPGs continue to be a crowded but fast-moving segment—where early community testing and clear feature showcases (characters, city traversal) can influence first impressions and player retention. The wipe reminder is especially important for community planning, since it frames the closed beta as feedback-focused rather than a head start.
