Neverness to Everness version 1.1 brings two new S-Class characters, a fresh story chapter, and new areas to Hethereau. The update arrives right after Hotori's banner closes, following a scheduled maintenance that takes the servers offline before the new content opens.
Release time: June 3, 2026 at 03:00 UTC (8:00 PM PDT, June 2)
NTE 1.1 maintenance start and end times by region
Maintenance begins at 6:00 AM CST and runs for five hours. During this window the servers stay closed, so you cannot log in until it finishes. The exact end time is when version 1.1 becomes playable.

Players who created a character before maintenance begins receive 300 Annulith as compensation for the downtime. The reward lands in the in-game mailbox, so claim it before the version ends to avoid losing it.
Lacrimosa and Chaos banner schedule in NTE 1.1
Version 1.1 splits into two phases, each featuring one new S-Class Esper alongside a signature Arc. Lacrimosa opens the update as a Chaos-element Main DPS built around the Nightmare status and damage over time. Chaos follows in the second half as a Lakshana-type fighter tied to the E.T.D. 6th Platoon.
| Phase | Character | Esper type | Weapon banner | Dates |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 – Fading Reverie | Lacrimosa | Chaos | Nocturne Special | June 3 – June 24, 2026 |
| Phase 2 – Forsaken Path | Chaos | Pursuit Special | June 24 – July 8, 2026 |
Pity progress from Hotori's banner carries over to Lacrimosa's banner, so existing pulls are not wasted when Phase 1 opens.
What unlocks when 1.1 goes live
The update adds the main story episode Dreamwalk Corridor along with two explorable areas, Sunward Island and the Corridor of Echoes. New city activities arrive too, including the Fight Club brawl mode and the Underground Circuit racing mode. A Porsche collaboration brings the 918 Spyder, the Pegasus Residence property, and themed outfits for the protagonist.
A seven-day login event opens at launch, granting 10 Solid Dice for logging in across the event. Every player also receives a Hethereau Special Gift Pack by in-game mail, containing 5 Fabricated Dice, 5 De-Noise Solution, and 5 Tri-Key.
How to confirm 1.1 is live
You will know the update is ready when the maintenance notice clears and the client prompts a new download before login. Once the patch installs, the new banners, Sunward Island, and the Dreamwalk Corridor story chapter appear in-game. If the launcher still shows the maintenance screen or refuses login, the five-hour window has not finished yet, so wait until the end time listed for your region.
With the launch landing in the early hours of June 3 across most of the world, saving your pulls and clearing your mailbox ahead of time is the simplest way to jump straight into Lacrimosa's banner the moment servers reopen.
