Version 1.5 of Neverness to Everness (NTE), Hotta Studio’s free-to-play supernatural urban open-world RPG published by Perfect World, is called “Once Upon a Glitched Call”. According to the official patch notes published on November 9, 2026, servers go down for maintenance on November 11 from 06:00 to 11:00 (UTC+8). In Paris, that is from Tuesday, November 10 at 11 p.m. to Wednesday, November 11 at 4 a.m. Login is unavailable during this window, and the developer warns that it may end earlier or later.

Maintenance: November 11, 2026, 06:00-11:00 UTC+8 = November 10, 11 p.m. to November 11, 4 a.m. Paris time (UTC+1). The “Pink Paws Heist” mode closes earlier, from 05:30 UTC+8 (10:30 p.m. Paris time). Akane Rin’s “Dazzling Star” limited board ends at 05:59 UTC+8 (10:59 p.m. Paris time on November 10): redeem its cosmetic rewards on the Void Perks page before then.

Compensation: Annulith x300 for the maintenance plus Annulith x300 for bug fixes, sent by in-game mail to players who created a character before November 11, 06:00 UTC+8. The notes call it a large update and advise Wi-Fi on mobile.

How to update, per the notes: on PC, reopen the launcher and click Update; on Steam, restart the client and update from the Library; on Epic, reopen the launcher; on PlayStation, press OPTIONS on the game and choose Check for Update; on Android, follow the in-game prompt; on iOS and Mac, update from the App Store. No download size has been published.

New limited S-class character Elyms arrives on the “Android Dreams” board from the update until December 2, 05:59 UTC+8 (December 1, 10:59 p.m. Paris time), with A-class Mint, Edgar and Adler. Her limited S-class Arc is “Echoes on Hold”. Shinku returns at the same time on the “Before the Dawn” board, with the “Blushing Mirage” Arc rerun. Both boards require completing the prologue quest “Head to Eibon Antique Shop”. Milestone rewards unlock at 50, 120 and 200 rolls, including Elyms’s “Drifting Petals” outfit.

The new main story episode “Meet Me in the Data Stream” follows an urban legend about dreams of old friends who left an “invalid number”, and the ETD-6 captain and lieutenant going dark. It unlocks after the episode “The Witch”. Elyms also gets City Hangouts, a Home Time mode and Bond quests, and a new Anomaly Pilgrimage boss, Amber Broodmother, unlocks after “Fogden Game”.

Events listed in the notes include “City Logistics” (deliveries, Kool tokens), “Hunter’s Crucible: Breakthrough”, the “Circle Gifts” 7-day login (Solid Dice x10), the “Open Roads Ahead” mystery boxes with the Iron Ogre and Prototype Land Overlord 001 vehicles, and “Fortune’s Bounty”, all until December 23, 05:59 UTC+8 (December 22, 10:59 p.m. Paris time). Later events: “Full Tank Ahead” from November 19, 10:00 UTC+8 (3 a.m. Paris time), “Pixel Surge” from November 16 to 23, “Fishing Frenzy” from November 23 and “Gold Clash” from November 23 to December 7 (these last three in server time). Elyms’s “Y2K Mystique” outfit costs Riftcrystal x2,680 instead of 3,280 until December 23.

Notable changes: overflow storage for City Stamina (up to 1,000) and Character Pixels (up to 2,400), a Resource Overview, Shinku’s “Menacing Gaze” starting at max stacks in Beyond the Rails, a PvP rank system in Volley Star, AI backfill in “Shadow-n-Seek”, Snapdragon ANF on mobile and NVIDIA RTX Spark and AMD FSR 4 on PC, a free-roam auto-drive mode, better controller support in menus, and several bug and crash fixes.
