'Anime GTA 6' Launch Nears, Free-To-Play PC and PS5 Alternative Hype Builds

Upcoming open-world RPG Neverness to Everness is now taking pre-registrations ahead of its official launch later this week. Described by many as 'Anime GTA 6,' Neverness to Everness is the latest release from gacha game giant Perfect World Games, previously known for Tower of Fantasy and Persona 5: The Phantom X.

The game features open-world gameplay played from a third-person perspective. Players control different characters and can venture around on foot or drive vehicles. It clearly wears its Grand Theft Auto-like inspirations on its sleeves, with many of the game's missions and locations seemingly lifted right out of the Rockstar playbook. For anime fans who are also excited about GTA VI, this should provide a decent alternative for the time being.

Perfect World Games is encouraging players to pre-register for Neverness to Everness ahead of launch by offering free incentives. By hitting various milestones, all players will unlock new content to use in-game. There are five milestones in all, requiring 35 million preregisters in total to collect them all. Luckily, each milestone has already been hit, meaning the content will drop for all players when the game launches.

This includes Beetle Coin x30000, Elite Hunter Guide x20, Fabricated Dice x5, Character (Haniel), and Fabricated Dice x15. Meanwhile, 5 million followers across the game's main social media accounts has resulted in the Whisker Glider Skin being unlocked for all. Other launch rewards include a free S-Class character and arc, as well as 120 free pulls and more than 470 pulls through normal gameplay.

In Neverness to Everness, players take on the role of an Appraiser at Eibon Antique Shop. As an Anomaly Hunter, you'll help solve problems and deal with all sorts of anomalies across the city. The game releases on PS5, PC, Android, and iOS on 29 April 2026.
