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.

Day 9 Client Update (May 7, 2026)

On May 7, 2026 the developer announced that two in-game assets would be reworked: the "Clear Skies in Summer" poster and the Pink Paws Heist mission cinematic. 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

Version 1.3 "Rising from the Moonlit Fog" was previewed in a Special Program on August 8, 2026 at 19:30 (UTC+8) and shipped on August 19, 2026. It is documented in the released-versions list above and in the Version 1.3 Update article. Version 1.4 is the next update in the pipeline, and the only thing flagged for it so far is Pukaland, an amusement park in the southern part of the New Herland District said to open with that version and to bring new game modes and Anomaly Commissions. That is a secondary report rather than a published patch note: no release date, version title, character line-up, or content list has been announced for Version 1.4, and nothing from it has shipped. Roadmap previews are shared through the official broadcast schedule and consolidated on the Launch Roadmap article.

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.

Bug Fixes

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.

May 19 Hotfix (May 19, 2026)

A mid-cycle hotfix deployed on May 19, 2026 at 06:00 UTC during the Version 1.0 Phase 2 window. It addressed combat edge cases, anomaly and boss bugs, event-blocking issues, and a long list of housing and furniture fixes, plus a localization pass on Arc terminology. The update applied with a brief restart and no full client download; minor lag or disconnects were possible while it rolled out.

Version 1.2 (July 8, 2026)

Version 1.2 "999 Nights" went live on July 8, 2026 after a maintenance window (06:00 to 11:00, UTC+8), the same day the game launched on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Samsung Galaxy Store. Phase 1 features the Cosmos S-Class Esper Shinku (signature Arc Blushing Mirage) on the Before the Dawn Limited Board from July 8 to July 29; Phase 2 adds the Anima S-Class healer Iroi (signature Arc The Wrong Gate) from July 29.

The update adds a new main story episode, "Fighting with a Dragon", which opens the new Warren Continent region (it unlocks after clearing the "Dreamwalk Corridor" episode and reaching Hunter Level 26). New activities include the 999 Nights limited-time event and mini-game, the Neon Rift Mystery Box (whose pool includes the limited Draco vehicle), and the Shadow-n-Seek, Circle Gifts, Stamina Recharge, Gold Clash, and Circle Bounty events. Login and creation gifts include an S-Class Standard Character Selection Box and Annulith x1,600, plus maintenance and bug-fix compensation.

Quality-of-life additions include outfit recoloring, Riichi Mahjong at Little Sparrow, fishkeeping, decor blueprints, a raised furniture collection cap with one-tap collect, improved Fight Club scoring, reduced Anomaly Hunt difficulty at Appraisal Level 5 and above, and moving the Chaos mask toggle from the G key into the Settings menu.

July 29 Update (Version 1.2 Phase 2)

The Phase 2 patch went live after a maintenance window on July 29, 2026 (06:00 to 11:00 UTC+8), with Annulith x300 sent as compensation to players who created a character before the window opened. Headline content: the exclusive S-Class character Iroi on "The Lifeline" Limited Board (July 29 to August 19, alongside the A-Class characters Haniel, Aurelia, and Skia) and the limited S-Class Arc "The Wrong Gate", obtainable only through the "Dreamgate Special" Arc Research Program.

The update added five Iroi outfits (Dreamweaver, Summer Dream, Archmage, Channeling..., and Starlit Night), her Bond quests, text-message conversations, combat tutorial, and passenger-seat ride-along, plus a City Hangouts story and a Home Time invitation mode featuring her.

New limited-time events: "Going, Going, Gone!", an auction mini-game with its own Gold Shells currency (July 29 to August 19); "Fishing Frenzy" at the Sea Angler fishing spot in Nacupeda Park (August 3 to 19); "Warren Lucky Flip" daily-mission card flips (August 5 to 19); "Pixel Surge" double rewards for Character Pixels (August 3 to 10); and "Fons Rush" double Fons from Hethereau Hobbies (August 10 to 17).

Version 1.3 Rising from the Moonlit Fog (August 19, 2026)

Version 1.3 "Rising from the Moonlit Fog" went live on August 19, 2026 after a maintenance window that ran from 06:00 to 11:00 (UTC+8). Appraisers who created a character before 06:00 (UTC+8) that morning received Annulith x300 as maintenance compensation and a further Annulith x300 as bug-fix compensation, both sent by in-game mail. Pink Paws Heist closed early at 05:30 (UTC+8) and reopened once maintenance finished, and "The Lifeline" Limited Board closed at 05:59 (UTC+8) the same morning. Accounts at Hunter Level 11 or above also received Praise Jam x56,000 through the permanent Bagel Supplies mail.

The download is a large one, and the update advises using Wi-Fi or mobile data rather than a metered connection. Update paths differ by platform: PC and Epic players relaunch the launcher and click Update, Steam players restart the client and update from the Library, Android players follow the in-game prompt, iOS and Mac players update through the App Store, and PlayStation players open the system menu, select the game, press OPTIONS, and choose Check for Update.

Version 1.3 Phase 1 Boards and Arcs

Every board and Arc program in this phase shares the same unlock requirement: clear the main story quest "Prologue - A New Destination - Head to Eibon Antique Shop". Board rewards can be claimed directly from the "Alluring Perks" and "Tiger Perks" event pages at 50, 120, and 200 cumulative rolls, or landed on at random before those milestones. Perks progress is tracked per board name and does not transfer between differently named boards. Full board mechanics are covered on the Gacha System page and the phase-by-phase schedule on Version 1.3 Banners.

New Story, Location, and Modes

The main story picks up with the episode Fogden Game, unlocked by clearing the Version 1.2 episode "Fighting with a Dragon". The patch notes frame it around The Scarlet Letter setting up another game and an alliance of those left off the guest list forming to save, to judge, and to avenge, with Madam T as the target. "Home Time", a new Invitation mode built around Zankou, unlocks once you own her and reach the required Bond Level.

The new location is Duskmoor, described in the patch notes as sweeping natural scenery holding the Starfall Bay Resort and the open waters of Tearlake. Six Anomaly Commissions opened with it: Twin Blooms, Lantern Parade, Storybook Skirmish, Finale: Da Capo, Fawn Alone, and Sunken Door.

Version 1.3 Events

Version 1.3 Outfits Added to the Shop

Version 1.3 Optimizations

• New routes were added to Races - Challenge: Night Raptor, Chapter Nova, First Sense, and Silver Crown, and new racetracks were added to Races - Online.

• New scratchers went on sale at The Midnight Catzebo. Fons won from the new scratchers no longer counts toward Tycoon Level or the Pawbes Rich List, and five older scratchers were pulled from sale.

• The "Tycoon Incentive Fund" replaced the per-cycle 1,000,000 Fons reward pool that Pink Paws Heist used to pay out. Weekly Match earnings in Volley Star and passive income from Collectibles Warehouse display cases in "Going, Going, Gone!" now draw from the same allowance.

• An Outfit Rotation toggle equips a random owned outfit from the active character's wardrobe on each login or scene change.

• Zankou received Bond quests, a combat tutorial, and Bond interactions that unlock her passenger seat ride-along at the required Bond Level.

• "The Witch's House" level cap rose to 15, and Bronze Carrota and Silver Carrota can now be crafted into higher-tier Carrota.

• Selected items became discardable from a new button in the bottom-left of the Inventory screen, covering Manhole Boss, Paradoxical Whispers, Chaos Silhouette, Distorted Numeral, and Transcendent Delusions.

• Upgrade flows for Characters, Arcs, Consoles, and Modules were streamlined, and the Anomaly Furniture Effects screen gained a Claim All button that collects daily rewards across every property at once.

• Photo Mode can now be used while driving or swimming, and PC players gained an F7 shortcut that hides the in-game UI in one press.

• Sea Angler gained a fish tank quick-lock and an F shortcut on the catch results screen to jump straight back into fishing.

• Swift Cab and City Delivery gained orders for the new locations, City Delivery gained Auto-Drive support, and Pink Paws Heist gained a minimap.

• 999 Nights raised its single-batch gear recycling cap to 50 and picked up a wider set of quality-of-life changes.

• An aim assist toggle was added under Settings - Control, and character rendering was improved across the board.

Version 1.3 Bug Fixes

• Shinku can now interact while in "Surging Crimson" or the hold-dodge special movement state, which instantly ends her transformed state, and her wall-climbing animations no longer play incorrectly from that state.

• Fixed Shinku's "Instant Strike" dropping damage against multiple targets while "Snowfall Slope" was active, and fixed abnormal stamina drain when entering the hold-dodge state.

• Fixed Hotori failing to gain "Defiant Spirit" when spending stacks of "Menacing Gaze" while recording and replaying Shinku's skills.

• Fixed Jiuyuan's animations playing incorrectly when leaving the battlefield after being hit.

• Fixed crashes in specific situations, improved localization across several languages, and cleared other known issues.
