The second half of Neverness to Everness Version 1.1 brings the limited Chaos banner, his signature Arc, and a short run of timed events before the patch closes. Phase 2 starts a few weeks after Lacrimosa’s banner and gives players a tight window to pull the new S-Rank agent and clear the event content.
Quick answer: NTE 1.1 Phase 2 goes live on June 24, 2026, around 05:59 AM (UTC+8). The Chaos banner runs from June 24 to July 8, 2026, and the full Version 1.1 update ends on July 8, 2026.
Release time: June 24, 2026, 05:59 AM (UTC+8)
NTE 1.1 Phase 2 release date and time
The Phase 2 content unlocks on June 24, 2026. The launch time should land around 05:59 AM (UTC+8), matching the timing pattern used for the Version 1.0 second half. Exact maintenance windows can shift by server and region, so the in-game timer is the final word once the update goes live.
Version 1.1 as a whole closes on July 8, 2026. That date is also the last day to pull the Chaos banner and his Arc, so there is no overlap into Version 1.2.
| Item | Date |
|---|---|
| Phase 2 release | June 24, 2026 (≈05:59 AM UTC+8) |
| Chaos banner window | June 24 – July 8, 2026 |
| Version 1.1 ends | July 8, 2026 |
Chaos banner and signature Arc
Chaos is the new S-Rank agent featured in the second half of Version 1.1. He is a Lakshana element character and is the game’s first limited male unit. He is introduced in the main story as a member of the E.T.D. 6th Platoon and fights with a scythe and gun, along with a teleportation ability that sets him apart from the current roster.
You can pull for Chaos on his Forsaken Path banner using Solid Dice or Annuliths. A limited Arc Research Program runs alongside him, where the featured S-Rank Arc is What’s Desired. Like the character banner, the Arc banner is active for three weeks and expires right before Version 1.2 begins.
Note: pity carries over between limited banners in NTE. Any progress you built during Lacrimosa’s Phase 1 banner rolls directly into the Chaos banner, so partial pity is not wasted.
NTE 1.1 Phase 2 events
Two timed events run during the second half, each with its own reward track. A permanent mode also gets a fresh route during this window.
| Event | Dates | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Fight Championship | June 24 – July 8, 2026 | Fabricated Dice, Fons, Annulith |
| Pixel Surge | June 26 – July 3, 2026 | Double rewards when spending Character Pixels |
| Beyond the Rails (Special Route) | July 2 – July 16, 2026 | New route update for the permanent mode |
Fight Championship is tied to the new Fight Club activity, where matches can be played solo or in matchmaking. Pixel Surge doubles rewards from spending Character Pixels on the relevant challenges. The Beyond the Rails Special Route update extends past the Version 1.1 end date, finishing on July 16, 2026.
With the Chaos banner only open from June 24 to July 8, the cleanest plan is to confirm your carried-over pity, decide between Chaos and his What’s Desired Arc, and clear Fight Championship and Pixel Surge before they close. Once Version 1.1 ends on July 8, both the banner and the timed events are gone, and attention shifts to the Version 1.2 lineup.
