11Overview22New Herland District is one of the four mainland districts of Hethereau in Neverness to Everness. Officially described as "the core of wealth in Hethereau, where renowned enterprises gather and elites converge," the district is a gleaming, skyscraper-packed financial hub where major corporations maintain their headquarters and the city's wealthiest magnates conduct business. It is also the birthplace of Hethereau's fiercest and most lucrative anomaly hunter market.44New Herland District was first made explorable during the Containment Test beta (July 3 to 16, 2025), alongside Miguel District. Together, these two districts expanded Hethereau's playable area to roughly 1.5 times its previous size.66District Profile88AttributeDetailDistrictNew Herland DistrictCityHethereauCharacterFinancial hub / Corporate centerNickname"The Core of Wealth"Notable FeatureFiercest anomaly hunter market in HethereauFirst PlayableContainment Test (July 2025)1010Corporate Center1111New Herland is where towering skyscrapers pierce the sky and the biggest names in business call home. The district is the primary base for Hethereau's corporate elite, with renowned enterprises maintaining their headquarters among the glass and steel towers. The concentration of wealth and corporate power gives the district a distinctly different atmosphere from Hethereau's other neighborhoods.1313The skyline of New Herland is dominated by high-rise buildings that dwarf the architecture of Bridge Crossing's Old Town and even the Hethereau Skytower in Miguel District. The streets are clean, the infrastructure is modern, and the overall aesthetic communicates institutional power. For players arriving from the more residential or natural areas of the city, New Herland feels like stepping into a different world.1616Anomaly Hunter Market1818New Herland District is not merely a base for corporate wealth. It is also the birthplace of Hethereau's fiercest market for anomaly hunters. The district hosts the most competitive and lucrative anomaly commission marketplace in the city, where fortunes are made and rivalries ignite among anomaly hunters.2020High-stakes anomaly commissions posted in New Herland attract the best hunters from across Hethereau. The rewards for completing these commissions reflect the district's wealth: corporate clients and wealthy individuals can afford to offer premium compensation for dealing with anomalies that threaten their businesses, properties, or personal safety. This creates a competitive environment where experienced hunters jostle for the most profitable jobs.2222The concentration of both corporate money and anomaly activity in one district is not a coincidence. The same forces that attract wealth and power to New Herland may also draw anomalous phenomena, creating a feedback loop where the richest district also becomes the most dangerous. This dynamic gives players strong incentives to explore New Herland: the commissions are harder, but the payoffs match.2424Character and Atmosphere2626New Herland occupies a specific niche among Hethereau's four districts. Each district has a distinct personality:2828DistrictCharacterBridge CrossingHistoric Old Town with a budget-friendly vibe and laid-back rhythm. Independent shops in hidden lanes.Miguel DistrictTourist paradise with Hethereau's largest natural scenic belt and the iconic Skytower.New Herland DistrictCorporate financial hub where skyscrapers dominate and the anomaly hunter market thrives.Unheard ShoresCoastal getaway with mountain camping, sea train access, and the Orichalcos Imaginist concert venue.3030Where Bridge Crossing tops Hethereau's livability charts with its affordability and relaxed pace, New Herland represents the opposite end of the spectrum: ambition, competition, and material excess. The district draws the elite, the ambitious, and the ultra-rich, and its streets reflect that demographic. Players exploring New Herland encounter a cityscape designed to impress and intimidate in equal measure.3131Gameplay Significance3333New Herland's combination of wealth and anomaly activity makes it a key district for players seeking high-level City Commissions. The anomaly hunter market provides access to premium commissions with higher difficulty and correspondingly greater rewards. Players who have progressed through the Bureau of Anomaly Control's systems and built up their Esper roster will find New Herland's challenges well suited to their capabilities.3535The district is also relevant to the City Tycoon system. The commercial properties available in New Herland tend to reflect its upscale character, and players building their business empire may find premium investment opportunities among the district's corporate landscape.3838Exploration4040Players can traverse New Herland by foot, vehicle, or glider. The district's vertical architecture, with its densely packed skyscrapers, creates opportunities for rooftop exploration and aerial traversal between buildings. Public transportation routes connect New Herland to the rest of Hethereau, and the district's central location in the city makes it accessible from neighboring areas.4242The contrast between the gleaming corporate facades and the anomaly threats lurking within creates exploration scenarios where players move between polished lobbies and distorted, anomaly-corrupted spaces. New Herland's visual design emphasizes this duality: pristine surface, dangerous underbelly.4444Development History4646New Herland District was added during the Containment Test (July 3 to 16, 2025), the game's first global closed beta. It was introduced alongside Miguel District, expanding Hethereau to roughly 1.5 times its previous playable area. Prior to this expansion, only Bridge Crossing and Unheard Shores were available for exploration.4848The Containment Test also introduced several new gameplay systems alongside the district expansion, including the wanted system, vehicle requisitioning, and street racing. New Herland's urban environment provided an ideal setting for these vehicle-focused mechanics, with its wide streets and highway infrastructure supporting high-speed traversal.5050By the Co-Ex Test (February 6 to 20, 2026), all four mainland districts were accessible, including Unheard Shores, completing the full Hethereau map ahead of the April 29, 2026 launch.5252Trivia5454New Herland is officially described as "Hethereau's glittering crown jewel," emphasizing its status as the city's wealthiest and most visually striking district.The name "New Herland" may reference Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 1915 novel Herland, which depicts a utopian society; the "New" prefix suggests a modernized, capitalistic reimagining.The district was one of the two areas added in the Containment Test that expanded the game's map by 50%, alongside Miguel District.New Herland's anomaly hunter market is the most competitive in Hethereau, attracting high-level hunters seeking premium commissions.
