Over the past 18 months, NTE has invited players onto the streets of Hethereau through two global beta tests and at appearances at major events like gamescom and Tokyo Game Show, all of which have resulted in a hugely positive response from the community and invaluable feedback for improving the game. For the official launch, players can look forward to:

A Polished Visual Experience:

• Updated to Unreal Engine 5.7 with Global Illumination System support
• NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Gen
• Updated character models, with enhanced designs and details
  
  

Immersive Urban Gameplay

• Crime Mechanics: Committing illegal acts in the city increases your wanted level, which may lead to a police pursuit! After being captured, players will be sent to the detention center, where they can either work to repay their debt to society…or attempt to break out!
• Engaging multiplayer gameplay: Players can invite friends to their world, where they can race, play mahjong, and participate in the Pink Paws Heist!
• First-person POV available, both for driving and exploring on foot
  
  

Highway Freedom

• Numerous vehicle models for players to choose from, including regular cars, muscle cars, supercars, and motorbikes
• High fidelity physics engine: Players can honk their horns and jump off their vehicles mid-ride, while the vehicles themselves are also now susceptible to popped tires, knockbacks, damage and…explosions!
• Real-time drifting: The driving experience will be affected by different weather conditions, with rain and snow increasing the risk of losing control

About NTE
NTE is an ambitious and unique online RPG that takes place in the city of Hethereau - a vast, seamless open world rendered with the power of Unreal Engine 5, where humans co-exist with supernatural anomalies. Players will control a range of vibrant and dynamic characters, each with their own unique personalities and abilities, to explore the city and investigate these anomalies in episodic comedy-drama storylines.

Aside from the core story and RPG gameplay, players will also be able to take part in an ever-expanding roster of activities, including collecting, modding, and racing sports cars, buying and designing their own chic city getaways, and even running a business. Whatever you choose to do with your time in Hethereau, the experience will always be immersive, absorbing, and never-ending.

NTE launches on April 29 for PC, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android. More information is available via the NTE website, or by following the game on X and joining the official Discord server.
