Neverness to Everness version 1.5, Once Upon a Glitched Call, launches on November 11, 2026. The Preview Special Program aired on October 28, 2026 at 11:30 UTC on the game's official channel. The update adds two limited S-Class characters, Elyms and Exe, a new main story, two vehicles and a new event sequence.
When each phase starts
Version 1.5 runs until December 23 and is split into two 21-day phases. The first starts on November 11 with Elyms' limited banner, Android Dreams, and Shinku's rerun banner, Before the Dawn. According to Sportskeeda, both run from November 11 to December 2.
The second phase runs from December 2 to December 23. It brings Exe's limited banner, Offline Equations, and Chaos' rerun, Forsaken Path. The Arc Research Program follows the same schedule: phase 1 has the special Arcs for Elyms and Shinku, and phase 2 has Exe's and Chaos'.
- Phase 1 (November 11 to December 2): Android Dreams (Elyms), Before the Dawn (Shinku), Echo Special and Resolve Special.
- Phase 2 (December 2 to December 23): Offline Equations (Exe), Forsaken Path (Chaos), Encryption Special and Pursuit Special.
Pity counters on limited banners are shared between them. Skin Perks progress is separate per banner but carries over to other banners with the same name.
The two new S-Class characters
Elyms is an S-Class Esper of the Cosmos type, described as lively and calm. She is a lieutenant of ETD-6, the Anomaly Control Division team, and uses a phone as her weapon in combat. According to Inven, she has a Rapid Cycle mechanic that fills a cycle meter when she uses her Birail Skill. Her Ultimate switches between single-target and area attacks based on how many enemies she has scanned. Her exclusive Arc is Echoes on Hold, available in the Arc Shop during phase 1.
Exe is an S-Class Esper of the Chaos type, the third character with that element alongside Daffodil and Lacrimosa. He is the captain of the same team, a discreet hacker focused on efficiency. His kit revolves around Frames and Ranks, which rise from B to SSS with combos, skills and counterattacks. His exclusive Arc is Dotted Horizon, which comes to the Arc Shop in phase 2.
Both also get content outside combat: interactions such as riding in a vehicle, duels and entering their home, available at certain bond levels, plus stories about the city as seen by Elyms and Exe's daily life. The outfits Y2K Mystique for Elyms and Untouched by Rain for Exe will be in the Mall.
The Invalid Number story
The new main story is Meet Me in the Data Stream. It starts with an urban legend in Hethereau called the Invalid Number: people dream of an old friend and wake up remembering only a phone number. When they call it, they hear that the number does not exist. The investigation involves Elyms and Exe, and the Anomaly Control Division itself has suspicious answers.
The new map is a network space tied to the Invalid Number, with a submerged city over a digital sea and areas that look like old computers. According to Inven, there are also boss-level anomaly battles in this network space. The presentation showed tanks, distribution center logistics and other new content.
Version 1.5 also adds two new vehicles, announced during the stream. Since the game has car exploration through the city, they should help you get around faster.
What to do now
If you have not redeemed this week's codes, the October list has six active ones. Three have described rewards: NTENIGHT1021 gives Annulith x60 and two Drift Ice Cinema tickets, COMEBACK gives a Fabricated Dice, and BLACKBIRDHERE gives an exclusive Blackbird avatar frame. The other three are EXENORESPONSE, HIOLDFRIEND and INVALIDNUMBER.
To redeem, finish the tutorial and Episode 0, open the in-game phone, tap the three-dot button and choose Redeem Code. Type the code exactly as it was shared, because it is case-sensitive. Rewards arrive in your mailbox, the envelope icon.
Before November 11, it is worth saving Annulith for Elyms' banner, since phase 1 has her banner and Shinku's. If you want Exe, you need to wait for phase 2, which starts on December 2.
What hasn't been announced yet
Sportskeeda reports that Exe's items were not revealed during the livestream, so phase 2 details should still come. Maintenance times and the exact reset time for each server are not in the materials available, so check the official game notice near the date.
