Neverness to Everness 1.2 Arrives July 7, 2026—Maintenance Starts 5 Hours Early
NTE 1.2 is set to arrive on July 7, 2026, at 11:00 PM ET (UTC-4). Server maintenance is scheduled to kick off five hours before that, though downtime can sometimes end early—so it’s worth keeping an eye out for an earlier start. When the update goes live, NTE 1.2 will introduce Shinku and her signature Arc, Blushing Mirage.
If you’re aiming to strengthen your roster efficiently, an NTE tier list can be a practical way to decide which character to invest in first—especially if your goal is to secure the strongest Esper for your team.

As the patch approaches, it’s also a good idea to plan ahead for Shinku. Players looking to get the most out of her can line up their Esper setups, including a best Esper Zero build, plus Nanally build and Hathor build.
