Perfect World Games' free-to-play open-world RPG NTE: Neverness to Everness features a bank heist activity called the Niku-kyuu Great Heist. Players infiltrate a bank, collect bills and treasures, and must escape within 12 minutes or lose everything. The mode is framed as an officially sanctioned robbery tied to a popular in-universe movie.
Perfect World Games' upcoming free-to-play open-world RPG NTE: Neverness to Everness includes a bank heist activity called the Niku-kyuu Great Heist. In a preview of the PC version, the mode is described as an officially sanctioned robbery: players enter the Niku-kyuu Bank, grab stacks of bills and treasures, and must escape within 12 minutes via phone booths placed around the building. The deeper players go, the larger the jackpots, but the longer the return trip and the less time remains. Failing to escape forfeits all rewards. The bank's representative, Giovanni Dvořák, turned a popular bank robbery movie into a variety show that invites participants. The interior is more unsettling than the name suggests, with floating vaults, unstable objects, and alternate spaces visible through windows, closer to an SCP-style dungeon than a real bank.
