The Anomaly Metro in Hethereau, which players call the Ghost Train, is opening the special route Glinting Circle. The announcement came on the game's official Discord, with the route scheduled to run in November. The exact start date has not been announced yet, so keep an eye on in-game notices.

What the Ghost Train is

The Ghost Train is the community's nickname for the Anomaly Express, NTE's Beyond the Rails mode. It is the main source of Annulith for endgame players, and the special routes are what the mode offers for a limited time.

Previous routes lasted two weeks each. Incandescent Circle ran from August 27 to September 10, 2026, and Whisper Circle from September 10 to 24. Rewards came from each route's goals rather than from a login track. That is the pattern from past routes, and there is no confirmation that Glinting Circle will work the same way.

What changes for players

Past routes handed out Annulith, Fons and Train Logs. Glinting Circle was announced without reward details, so check the event page inside the game before you plan your hours around it.

Annulith is NTE's pull currency. If you don't spend on banners, every route that pays Annulith can mean a few extra pulls in the month. The count only works out if the mode is something you actually like playing.

Before the route opens

Ghost Train routes require the main story quest "Prologue — A New Destination — Head to Eibon Antique Shop" to be finished. Anyone who ran the previous routes has likely cleared it already, but check your mission log.

Your Hunter level matters too. The endgame guide on ntegame.net recommends Hunter level 24 or higher before starting, because below that the team's power sits well under what the route asks for. If you're still behind, finish story missions and hunt events before the route opens.

Version 1.5 arrives on November 11

November isn't only about the Ghost Train. Version 1.5, Once Upon a Glitched Call, launches on November 11 with the limited S-Class characters Elyms and Exe, plus new tanks and vehicles.

Elyms arrives first. Her banner, Android Dreams, runs from November 11 to December 2, alongside the Arc Special that features her signature Arc Echoes on Hold. Exe comes in the second half of the version with the banner Offline Equations, expected to be active from December 2 to December 23. Elyms's window closes on the same day Exe's opens, so the two banners share the month instead of splitting it evenly.

If you're saving Annulith for either banner, Glinting Circle and version 1.5 land almost at the same time. Plan both windows together instead of spending everything on the first day of the route.

What to do now

  • Check that the prologue quest is done and that you've reached Hunter level 24.
  • Watch in-game notices for the exact Glinting Circle date and its rewards.
  • Redeem the active codes while they last: BLACKBIRDHERE (Blackbird exclusive avatar frame), NTENIGHT1021 (60 Annulith and 2 Drift Ice Cinema tickets) and COMEBACK (1 Fabricated Dice).

To redeem, finish the tutorial and Episode 0 (Unforeseen Yet Foretold), open the in-game phone, tap the three-dot button and pick Redeem Code. Type the code exactly as published, since it is case-sensitive. Rewards land in your mailbox, the envelope icon on the phone.
