Neverness to Everness | 30M Pre-Registrations, April 29 Launch

Hotta Studio

Last updated: March 30, 2026

The 30M Milestone | Rewards Unlocked

Free-to-play open-world action RPG Neverness to Everness has crossed 30 million pre-registrations worldwide, developer Hotta Studio announced on March 24, 2026, just over a month before the game’s global launch on April 29, 2026. To celebrate the milestone, the studio confirmed that A-Class character Haniel will be unlocked as a free reward for all players at launch, no additional steps required.

The 30 million figure represents the latest tier in a global pre-registration campaign that has been running since early February 2026, with escalating reward thresholds tied to each successive target.

What Is Neverness to Everness | Anime GTA Explained

Often described by players and press alike as “anime GTA”, Neverness to Everness is set in Hethereau, a fictional modern metropolis where players take on the role of an unlicensed Anomaly Hunter operating out of a rundown antique shop. The game blends open-world urban exploration with gacha-style anime character collection and supernatural combat.

Core gameplay systems include:

  • Driveable vehicles across a fully explorable city map
  • A crime and wanted system reminiscent of GTA’s heat mechanics
  • First-person perspective options alongside the standard third-person view
  • Gacha character collection with anime-style visual design
  • Supernatural combat against anomalous enemies throughout Hethereau

The combination of urban sandbox mechanics and anime gacha progression places it in a niche that no major title currently occupies. Its closest reference points, GTA and Tower of Fantasy (also developed by Hotta Studio), are not direct competitors, which is part of the reason pre-registration momentum has been strong.

Pre-Registration Reward Tiers | What Each Target Unlocks

Hotta Studio structured the pre-registration campaign around escalating community milestones, each unlocking additional in-game rewards for everyone who registered before launch.

Target Reward Status
15 million 30,000 Beetle Coins Unlocked
30 million A-Class character Haniel (free) Unlocked
35 million 15 Fabricated Dice (pull currency) In Progress
5M social followers (community goal) Exclusive “Officer Whisker” glider In Progress

The separate social media community goal, requiring the game’s official accounts to collectively reach five million followers, runs in parallel to the registration tiers and would unlock an exclusive cosmetic glider for all players.

April 29 Launch | Platforms and Availability

Neverness to Everness launches globally on April 29, 2026 as a free-to-play title. The game is published by Perfect World Games and is expected to release on PC, iOS, and Android simultaneously, consistent with Hotta Studio’s approach on their previous title, Tower of Fantasy.

With 30 million pre-registrations confirmed and the 35 million tier within reach, the launch will be one of the most anticipated free-to-play RPG releases of 2026. Players who pre-registered will receive Haniel and any additional milestone rewards automatically at launch without needing to claim them manually.
