Well, probably not, they are all starting to get a <em>teensy<\/em> bit samey, aren\u2019t they?<\/p>\n<p>But heck, we\u2019ve been looking forward to Perfect World Entertainment\u2019s ostentatiously named <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/neverness_to_everness\">Neverness to Everness<\/a> (or, for brevity, NTE) for quite some time.<\/p>\n<p>And you\u2019ll have the opportunity to try it for yourself soon on PS5, with the Chinese company announcing an upcoming \u2018Co-Ex Test\u2019 (or beta) which will be available on Sony\u2019s console.<\/p>\n<p>To participate, simply pre-register on <a href=\"https:\/\/nte.perfectworld.com\/en\/index.html?utm_source=gaming_news&#038;utm_medium=pressrelease&#038;utm_campaign=article\">the release\u2019s official website<\/a>, and then click the \u2018Join Beta\u2019 option. You\u2019ll need to fill in a brief questionnaire, and it\u2019s worth noting you <em>may<\/em> not be selected, so entering your information isn\u2019t a guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>The game\u2019s being described as a \u201csupernatural open world RPG\u201d, with its closest analogue being <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/zenless_zone_zero\">Zenless Zone Zero<\/a>, we suppose.<\/p>\n<p>But unlike HoYoverse\u2019s urban effort, this open world has vehicles and a full city life simulation system. You\u2019ll be able to buy and rent apartments, for example, and decorate them to your tastes.<\/p>\n<p>This trailer shows off some of the activities you\u2019ll find in the sandbox, such as arcade games, fishing, mahjong, and more. It also introduces a bunch of characters, some of which \u2013 like Mint \u2013 we\u2019ve met before. Others are new.<\/p>\n<p>One detail worth reiterating about this game is that its gacha system will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2025\/06\/new-gta-style-ps5-gacha-game-fixes-the-one-thing-players-hate-most\">do away with the 50% chance mechanic<\/a> most of these games employ. In other words, you\u2019ll be guaranteed to unlock the currently promoted S-Rank character upon pulling 90 times. Signature weapons will be able to be unlocked through gameplay, too.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is, with so many gacha games already available to play, companies are now starting to get increasingly competitive over how they wield the business model.<\/p>\n<p>NTE will hope that its generosity and high production values make it a choice for many players, but of course, the proof, as always, will be in the pudding come launch.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>[source <a title=\"External Link: https:\/\/nte.perfectworld.com\/en\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/nte.perfectworld.com\/en\/index.html\">nte.perfectworld.com<\/a>, via <a title=\"External Link: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=l7112ayEM0E\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=l7112ayEM0E\">youtube.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2025\/12\/ps5s-next-big-gacha-game-wants-you-to-take-it-for-a-test-drive\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Tama Volkman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does the PS5 really need another anime-themed gacha game?
