The wait is nearly over for the next big urban open-world RPG. Hotta Studio has officially locked in February 6, 2026, for the start of the Neverness To Everness (NTE) Co-Ex Test.

Recruitment is live right now, but the window is closing fast. If you want to explore the anomaly-filled streets of Hethereau before the general public, you need to act immediately.

NTE Vital Dates: Don’t Miss the Cut

The schedule is tight. You have until January 23, 2026, at 11:00 UTC to register on the official website. The actual testing phase runs for two weeks, ending on February 20.

This is a limited-access closed beta. Not everyone who applies will get in. Unlike previous tests, this one wipes all data once the servers go dark. Do not get attached to your progress or gacha pulls just yet.

Supported Platforms & What to Expect in NTE

The biggest news for this cycle is the hardware expansion. While the previous “Containment Test” focused on PC and mobile, the Co-Ex Test officially opens the gates to console players.

Supported Platforms:

• PC (Windows)
• PlayStation 5 & PlayStation 5 Pro
• iOS & Android

Developers also dropped a new trailer, “Bird’s Eye View of Hethereau,” showing off the sheer scale of the city. You will explore towering skyscrapers, parks, and beachfronts while tackling the new story episode “Deal? Deal!”.

Can Your Rig Run Neverness To Everness?

NTE pushes high-fidelity visuals, especially with its Unreal Engine 5 roots. Ensure your hardware matches these requirements before you waste bandwidth on the download.

PC Requirements:

• Minimum: i7-10700 / Ryzen 7 3700X + GTX 1660 (60GB SSD required).
• Recommended: i7-12700 / Ryzen 5 5800X + RTX 3060.

Mobile Requirements:

• Android: Snapdragon 855 (Min) / Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (Rec).
• iOS: iPhone 12 Pro (Min) / iPhone 14 Pro (Rec).

Verdict: Is the NTE Co-Ex Test Worth Your Time?

If you enjoy Genshin Impact or Zenless Zone Zero but crave a GTA-style urban setting, this is a mandatory download. The addition of vehicle mechanics and detailed city simulation sets it apart from standard fantasy RPGs.

However, remember this is a technical test. Expect bugs, crashes, and the heartbreak of a full data wipe on February 20.

Are you planning to play on PS5 or stick to mobile for the Co-Ex test?
