Publisher Perfect World Games, and Hotta Studio, developers of the highly-anticipated, supernatural urban open-world RPG NTE (Neverness to Everness), have announced a new Closed Beta test for Windows PC, taking place from July 3-16.
In a special livestream event aired on Sunday, the team detailed a huge range of new features, improvements and additions, all of which will further enhance this latest round of testing.
Firstly, the new vehicle requisition and wanted system adds even more depth to the driving element of the game, with players now able to commandeer vehicles as they wish throughout the city. But be warned – breaking the law will trigger a multi-level warning system which escalates depending on your actions.
Players can then race with friends or take on various racing crews in online street racing challenges, to prove who truly has the mastery of the city streets.
The game’s dynamic weather system has also been updated with sophisticated new snow mechanics, bringing even more realism and immersion to the city of Hethereau with real-time PBR (physically based rendering) snow materials and subsurface scattering effects, with every snowflake that falls appearing translucent and lifelike.
NTE is an ambitious and unique online RPG that takes place in the city of Hethereau – a vast, seamless open world rendered with the power of Unreal Engine 5, where humans co-exist with supernatural anomalies. Players will control a range of vibrant and dynamic characters, each with their own unique personalities and abilities, in order to explore the city and investigate these anomalies in episodic, comedy-drama storylines.
Aside from the core story and RPG gameplay, players will also be able to take part in an ever-expanding roster of activities, including collecting, modding and racing sports cars, buying and designing their own chic city getaways and even running a business. Whatever you choose to do with your time in Hethereau, the experience always promises to be immersive, absorbing, and never-ending.
NTE is in development for PC, console and mobile. More information is available via the NTE website, or by following the game on Twitter and joining the official Discord server.
