Furthermore, Japan and the United States lead in revenue, while South Korea is exceeding initial expectations. Another relevant piece of data involves the platforms: PC and PlayStation 5 players account for approximately 75% of all recorded revenue.
Exploration trumps combat in NTE
Initial data also shows a curious trend. Players spend more time exploring the urban environment than fighting enemies. Therefore, Perfect World Games is considering expanding paid content focused on the city, including skins, clothing, houses, and even vehicles.
This approach suggests a possible shift towards greater personalization and immersion, increasing the amount of time users spend in the game.
Neverness to Everness will receive updates
Looking to the future, the team confirmed improvements based on community feedback. Versions 1.1 and 1.2 are expected to optimize performance and accessibility, as well as gameplay adjustments to increase player retention over time.
Currently, Neverness to Everness is available for Android, iOS, PlayStation 5 , and also for PC and macOS via official download.
