Overview
Version 1.2 of Neverness to Everness is the 999 Nights update. It went live on July 8, 2026 after a maintenance window (06:00 to 11:00, UTC+8), the same day the game arrived on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Samsung Galaxy Store. The update was first detailed at the Version 1.2 Preview Special Program on June 27, 2026. It runs two limited character banners in sequence: Phase 1 features the Cosmos S-Class Esper Shinku from July 8, and Phase 2 adds the Anima S-Class healer Iroi from July 29.
Banner Schedule
Phase | Featured Character | Element | Signature Arc | Window |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Phase 1 | Cosmos | Blushing Mirage | July 8 to July 29, 2026 | |
Phase 2 | Anima | The Wrong Gate | July 29 to August 19, 2026 |
Phase 1: Shinku
Shinku is the flagship character of Version 1.2, a Cosmos S-Class Esper who deals damage by swapping between forms, including a Rampage state called Surging Crimson. Her banner, the "Before the Dawn" Limited Board, runs from July 8 to July 29, 2026 (05:59 UTC+8). Alongside Shinku it rate-ups the A-Class characters Mint, Edgar, and Adler. The board also carries the "Overcast Canopy" glider livery, the "Hidden Dragon" Blizzard-V4 livery, and Shinku's outfit "Student of Terrasea", claimable from the Resolve Perks page at 50, 120, and 200 accumulated rolls or obtained randomly through rolls. Unlocking the board requires completing the prologue quest that sends the Appraiser to the Eibon Antique Shop. Her signature Arc, Blushing Mirage, runs as a limited S-Class Arc through the Resolve Special Arc Research Program over the same window.
Phase 2: Iroi
Iroi headlines the second half of Version 1.2 as an Anima S-Class Esper and the game's first limited dedicated healer. Her signature Arc is The Wrong Gate. Her banner opened on July 29, 2026 and runs to August 19, 2026 (05:59 UTC+8), after Shinku's phase ended.
The Phase 2 banner is "The Lifeline" Limited Board. Alongside Iroi it rate-ups the A-Class characters Haniel, Aurelia, and Skia. The board carries the "Sheepcopter" glider livery, the "Three's Company" B100 livery, and Iroi's "Archmage" outfit, claimable from the Wayfarer Perks page at 50, 120, and 200 accumulated rolls or obtained randomly through rolls. Unlocking the board requires completing the prologue quest that sends the Appraiser to the Eibon Antique Shop.
The Wrong Gate runs as a limited S-Class Arc through the "Dreamgate Special" Arc Research Program over the same window. Spending Tri-Keys or Dreamgate Keys in the program is currently the only way to obtain the Arc.
The patch accompanying Phase 2 went live after a maintenance window on July 29, 2026 (06:00 to 11:00 UTC+8, with Annulith x300 as compensation). It added five Iroi outfits, a City Hangouts story and Home Time invitation mode for her, and a slate of limited-time events, including the "Going, Going, Gone!" auction mini-game.
Other Version 1.2 Content
Beyond the two banners, Version 1.2 adds a new main story episode, "Fighting with a Dragon", which opens up the Warren Continent, a new explorable region. The 999 Nights limited-time event and its companion mini-game run across the same continent from July 8 to August 19, 2026. The update also introduces the Neon Rift Mystery Box event, whose 15-box reward pool includes the limited Draco vehicle, along with several Shinku outfits and Porsche 918 Spyder liveries. July 8 also marks the game's launch on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Samsung Galaxy Store, with cross-progression across the existing platforms.
