Patch Notes

Overview

The Patch Notes hub indexes every version update for Neverness to Everness. Each major version brings new playable Espers, banner phases, world content, balance changes, quality-of-life updates, and bug fixes. This page links the per-version detail articles, summarizes what each patch is named after, and tracks the cadence of follow-up hotfixes within a patch cycle.

Major versions ship roughly every six weeks, with mid-cycle hotfixes between major releases. Each version follows a two-phase banner structure that mirrors the cadence of other live-service games in the genre. Patch downtime, regional rollout times, and known issues are tracked in the Launch FAQ once a maintenance window is announced.

Released Versions

Hotfix Timeline

Hotfixes deploy between major versions to address urgent issues without requiring a full patch download. The launch window included a May 1, 2026 Hotfix landed two days after global launch. Future hotfixes will be appended to the table below as they ship.

Version 1.1 Dreamwalk Corridor (June 3, 2026)

Version 1.1 went live on June 3, 2026 after a maintenance window from 06:00 to 11:00 (UTC+8). Every account created before the maintenance received Annulith x300 as maintenance compensation plus a separate Annulith x300 for bug-fix compensation, both delivered by in-game mail.

Headline content: the Fading Reverie board featuring Lacrimosa with A-Class rate-ups Mint, Edgar, and Adler; the The Last Rose S-Class Arc in the Nocturne Special research program; the Dreamwalk Corridor main story episode leading to Sunward Island; the Pegasus Residence property (Fons x7,500,000, City Tycoon Lvl 13); the Everdriving Porsche mystery boxes; and the Bagel social app with its Creator Incentive Program.

Quality-of-life additions in the same update: vehicle Auto-Drive, new vehicle mod parts with a raised customization cap, a height-adjustable third-person vehicle camera, separate music and engine volume sliders, phone menu customization with swappable models, a story recap when skipping scenes, a Taygedo mute toggle for story scenes, a new Chiz life skill that marks Pink Paws Heist collectibles on the map, and improved controller responsiveness.

Bug fixes included the Compressed Boom Boom Cloud furniture producing output at an abnormal rate (compensated with Floe Cinema Tickets x3 by mail), misaligned notes in the Super Sound mini-game, Beetle Coin item names in the Moon Bay Fishing Tackle Shop, housing stability issues, and Android device compatibility.

June 10 Mini-Update

On June 10, 2026 a small client update added two free mod-shop parts for the Porsche 918 Spyder. The developer said a tire-model optimization in the June 3 build had unintentionally changed the car's driving feel, and the free parts let owners tune it back to its original handling.

May 1 Hotfix (May 1, 2026)

The first global hotfix deployed on May 1, 2026 at 10:00 UTC+8, two days after global launch. The patch addressed quest blockers, control responsiveness issues, and a notable Android-only voice missing bug for Aurelia. Hotfix application required a brief client restart but no full client download.

• Android: restored Aurelia's English, Japanese, and Korean voiceovers, which were missing on Android-only accounts at launch.

The update addressed ten major issues, including a story-quest crash, an Exploration Guide reward distribution bug, and a number of UI and controller fixes.

The accompanying statement said AI-assisted tools were used on a small number of background and environmental assets and not on character or story content. The asset replacement deploys with a future client update; a Letter from Hethereau in-game mail bearing 10 Fabricated Dice will reach every active v1.0 account after the May 13 maintenance.

Upcoming Versions

Roadmap previews are shared through the official broadcast schedule and consolidated on the Launch Roadmap article. Previewed but not yet shipped:

How Patches Roll Out

Major version updates follow a consistent rollout pattern.

• Pre-patch broadcast: a livestream previews characters, events, and balance changes roughly one week before the patch deploys.

• Pre-patch maintenance: services are taken offline for 2-4 hours to deploy the new client. Players are notified through the in-game popup and the official channels.

• Patch goes live: the client applies a download, accounts log in to the mailbox bonuses, and the new banners begin.

• Mid-cycle hotfixes: targeted bug fixes deploy without full downtime. They are announced through the news feed and only require a client restart in most cases.

• Phase 2 transition: roughly two weeks into the patch cycle, the second banner phase swaps in. No client download is needed.

• Patch closes: the cycle ends with a final balance pass and an early-access broadcast for the next version.

What Each Patch Touches

Major versions typically include changes across multiple systems. The categories below show what to expect in a typical patch.

Following Patch Releases

• Official broadcasts: each patch gets a pre-release livestream that doubles as the launch trailer for the version's headline characters.

• In-game news feed: opens automatically on first login after a maintenance window. Includes patch notes, reward bundles, and hotfix changelogs.

• Discord and X announcements: shorter summaries plus the redemption codes that drop alongside each patch.

• Wiki version pages: each released version has its own detail page on this wiki linked above. They are updated as datamining and player testing surface specifics.

Hotfixes and Mid-Cycle Updates

Between major versions, smaller updates address urgent issues. The May 1 Hotfix above is documented in this hub because it landed in the launch window. Subsequent hotfixes within a patch cycle are listed inline on each version's detail page rather than as standalone wiki articles unless they introduce new content.

Mainland China Patch Cadence

The Mainland China client (CN vs Global Launch) runs on a separate patch schedule with its own version numbers, banner pairings, and launch dates. Content reaches Mainland China six days before global release on a typical major version, although mid-cycle hotfixes tend to land at similar times on both clients.

May 7, 2026 Xun Banner (CN client only): the Mainland China client added a Xun (浔) limited banner titled "独酌胧月流" on May 7, 2026. This banner is scoped to the CN server and does not affect the global client's banner timeline. Global players are still on the Phase 1 The Ichi-Daime banner through May 13, 2026, followed by the Phase 2 Misty Tipsy Style (Hotori) banner from May 13 through June 3, 2026. CN-side banner schedules do not translate to a global release; Xun has not been announced for the global client.

Version 1.0 Phase 2. May 13, 2026

The Version 1.0 Phase 2 patch went live after a maintenance window from 06:00 to 11:00 AM (UTC+8) on May 13, 2026. Pink Paws Heist access closed 30 minutes before maintenance and reopened with the post-update build. All eligible players received Annulith x300 in their in-game mail as maintenance compensation, alongside an additional 10 standard pulls.

New Limited Boards

• Misty Tipsy Style featuring Hotori (S-Class Cosmos) launched and runs through June 3, 2026 at 05:59 AM (UTC+8). A-Class boost roster: Haniel, Aurelia, Skia.

• Marching Beyond Time S-Class Arc is now obtainable through the Arc Research Program through June 3, 2026 at 05:59 AM (UTC+8).

New Events

• Zero's Companion runs May 13 through May 27, 2026 at 04:59 AM (UTC+8) with Annulith and resource rewards centered on Esper Zero interactions.

• Whisker Patrol runs May 27 at 12:00 PM through June 3, 2026 at 04:59 AM (UTC+8) with Annulith and resource rewards.

• Hourglass Perks runs alongside the Hotori window with outfit rewards.

System Changes

• Pink Paws Heist: at match start, 6 extraction points now activate at random and remain open throughout the match. They no longer close as the match progresses, giving players consistent extraction options for the full duration.

• Owner's Selection difficulty values were reduced to bring the stage in line with average completion times.

• Hotori bond content added: Bond interactions, City Hangouts, text message conversations, and Battle Tutorial.

• Multiplayer: a Recommended Players list was added to the party finder.

• Photo Mode: added a borderless frame option.

More than thirty fixes shipped with the patch, including a fix for HP recovery from Jiuyuan's Awakening effect failing to apply in certain situations, a fix for the Thick Document Envelope item occasionally failing to drop during a hidden Easter egg quest, terrain clipping corrections, animation chain fixes, quest trigger fixes, NPC appearance fixes, and a swath of UI display corrections.
