Hotta Studio and publisher Perfect World Games have announced that the global closed beta for Neverness to Everness will begin on July 3, 2025, at 09:00 UTC+8, and run until July 16, 2025, 23:59 UTC+8. This “Containment Test” is available exclusively on PC, with no mobile version during this phase—a vital note for Android / iOS-only players to keep in mind.
How to Register and What to Expect
Pre-registration is still open via the official website’s Containment Test page. Recruitment began on May 15, 2025, and closes when spots fill up. Successful applicants will receive an email confirmation, and beta access is granted at no cost. Be sure to register with the correct email and follow the instructions. Note: progress will be wiped clean post-beta—this is a trial, not a permanent save .

Custom Languages and Voice Options
The beta supports multiple language options to cater to global audiences. Interface localization is available in English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese, with voice-over in English, Japanese, and Chinese. Be ready to toggle settings once you’re logged in—this offers a great chance to experience the game in your preferred language.

What the Beta Includes
Although exact gameplay content hasn’t been detailed, past trailers suggest a rich mix of urban exploration, supernatural anomalies, and life-simulation elements. Players can expect to explore the city of Hethereau, interact with shops, drive customizable vehicles, and live in personal apartments. The “Esper Cycle” combat system, which relies on combining character abilities to create synergies, looks to be featured in this beta.

PC Requirements and Setup Tips
The beta requires a mid-to-high spec PC. Recommended specs include Windows 10+, Intel Core i7-12700, NVIDIA RTX 3060 or equivalent, and 32 GB RAM. Minimum specs are i7-10700, GeForce GTX 1660, and 16 GB RAM, with around 60 GB of SSD storage needed. Participants should download the client on July 2, a day before the test, to avoid last-minute delays.
