They Called It a Failure. Then This Happened.
Hotta Studio nearly destroyed themselves. Here's the full story of
how Tower of Fantasy collapsed — and how the same team came back
with Neverness to Everness.
In 2022, Tower of Fantasy launched to $34 million in its first month.
By month three, they had lost 75% of that revenue. Daily players dropped
from 282,000 to 32,000 in a single year. Their publisher eventually
walked away. Most studios don't survive that.
But Hotta Studio did something different. While Tower of Fantasy was
collapsing, players kept saying one thing — the cyberpunk city section
called Mirroria was the best part of the game. Hotta listened. They
rebuilt their entire engine from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5,
went quiet for two years, and came back with NTE — Neverness to Everness.
This video tells the full story. The fall of Tower of Fantasy, what
Hotta actually learned, and whether NTE is the redemption arc the
gacha community has been waiting for.
Drop a comment — do you think studios deserve second chances?
Or should Tower of Fantasy have ended Hotta's run for good?
