NTE 1.0 Phase 2 Update Guide and Codes

Everything new in NTE 1.0 Phase 2 — Hotori's banner, all active May 2026 codes, new events, and free rewards. Your complete Neverness to Everness Phase 2 update guide.

⏱️ NTE 1.0 Phase 2 Is Live — Here's What Changed

Neverness to Everness Version 1.0 Phase 2 launched on May 13, 2026 following a scheduled maintenance window, and it brings a significant wave of new content. Hotori — the enigmatic owner of the Eibon Antique Shop and one of the most mechanically unique S-class characters at launch — is now available on her Limited Board. Alongside her arrival comes a slate of new events, fresh rewards, and updated codes that every Appraiser should know about before logging in. This guide covers everything in one place.

🌸 Hotori's Banner — Misty Tipsy Style

The Misty Tipsy Style Limited Board is the featured banner for Version 1.0 Phase 2 and runs from May 13 until June 3, 2026. Hotori is a Cosmos-aligned S-class character whose entire combat identity revolves around her Time Stop mechanic — she freezes the clock, creates massive unpunished damage windows, and deals burst damage that scales heavily with team setup and action recording. She is widely regarded as the most technically demanding S-class in the current version, and also the most rewarding when played correctly.

Alongside Hotori, the Phase 2 banner features A-class characters Haniel, Aurelia, and Skia at boosted rates. As with all Limited Boards in NTE, the featured S-class character is guaranteed within 90 rolls with no 50/50 system — your pity is fully protected. If you already built pity during Nanally's Phase 1 banner, that counter carries over to Phase 2.

🎁 Hourglass Perks — Phase 2 Cosmetics

The Hourglass Perks system returns for Phase 2 with three exclusive cosmetics tied to the Misty Tipsy Style board. These rewards are obtained by landing on specific tiles during pulls or after a set number of dice rolls:

At 50 rolls, the Orchid Breeze Glider becomes available — a red parasol-themed glider with intricate gold detailing that matches Hotori's aesthetic. At 120 rolls, the Autumn Haze Livery unlocks a premium motorcycle skin in Hotori's red and white color scheme. The crown reward is the Priceless Orchid Outfit at 200 rolls, which transforms Hotori's appearance into an alternate design themed around cherry blossoms. All cosmetic milestones accumulate across the full Phase 2 banner duration, so partial progress is never lost.

📅 All New Events in Phase 2

Phase 2 introduces two new time-limited events running alongside the Hotori banner, both packed with free Annulith and upgrade materials.

The Companion Event runs from May 13 to May 27, 2026. At the start, players choose a companion character and complete daily and limited-time quests together. Rewards scale with your Companion Level — hitting milestones unlocks Annulith, Floe Cinema Tickets, Fons, Senior Hunter Guides, Colorless Dye, and Beetle Coins. Daily quests refresh at 05:00 server time; limited-time quests do not. Claim your milestone rewards from Zero's Companion under Target Reward before the event ends.

The Bright Moon Special Arc Research Program runs on the same schedule as the Hotori banner, from May 13 to June 3. This is a dedicated Arc pull banner featuring the S-class Arc Ready-Ready at boosted rates. Every single pull guarantees at least an A-class Arc, and pity carries over to future Arc banners — making this one of the most reliable ways to invest Tri-Keys if you need Arc upgrades.

🎫 All Active NTE Codes — May 2026 Phase 2

Several new codes went live with or around Phase 2. Redeem these through the in-game settings menu under Redeem Code, then claim the rewards manually from your mailbox.

NTENENE rewards Fons x10,000, DynamiK x10, and Clicky Fries x10 — quality-of-life materials useful for progression. 504980102FKGOVNS gives Annulith x20, Gubichin Original Flavor Chips x1, and Beetle Coins x20,000 — the Annulith directly contributes to your pull count. NTEvtuber200 grants Fons x10,000 and Beetle Coins x10,000. NTEHAVEFUN remains active with no confirmed expiry — it gives Light Dye x3, Manhole Thug x3, and Rising Hunter Guide x5.

Additionally, if you have not already used the Phase 1 codes and they are still active in your region, check NTE0429 and NTENOWTOENJOY — both provide 100 Annulith each and were among the most valuable launch codes. Always verify each code in-game as expiry dates vary by region.

📬 Maintenance Compensation

Players who were affected by the May 13 maintenance window are eligible for compensation rewards. Annulith x30 will be delivered via in-game mail to all Appraisers who created a character and unlocked the Mail feature before the maintenance began. Log in after the maintenance concludes, open your mailbox, and claim the reward manually — it does not arrive automatically.

🔮 What's Coming Next — Version 1.1 Preview

Looking ahead, Version 1.1 will introduce two new S-class characters already teased through NTE's official drip marketing campaign: Lacrimosa, who appeared as a playable character briefly during the game's tutorial cutscene, and Chaos, a confirmed Lakshana user from the E.T.D. 6th Platoon. No release date has been officially confirmed, but based on NTE's version schedule, Version 1.1 is expected to follow Version 1.0's June 3 end date. Chaos is expected in Phase 2 of Version 1.1. Keep saving Annulith if either character interests you.
