NTE's first banner will end soon, and Hotori will come next

After Nanally’s banner ends, players can expect to welcome the S-Class character Hotori from May 13 until June 2 at 10:00 PM UTC, which is the second half of version 1.0. The A-class characters Haniel, Aurelia, and Skia will accompany her in the Misty Tipsy Style limited board.

She’s the boss of the Eibon Antique Shop and one of the characters you will meet later on while completing the main quest. She apparently likes to drink a lot, and maybe this is why her board has the word "Tipsy" in it.

Like Nanally's board, Hotori's will also come with three skins: a glider, a vehicle skin, and Hotori's own skin. You can get these items randomly on the board, but if you're unlucky, the developer provided a guarantee when you reach a certain number of pulls:

• Orchid Breeze - Glider (50 Pulls)
• Autumn Haze - Livery (120 Pulls)
• Priceless Orchid - Outfit (200 Pulls)

What’s a character without their signature weapon? In addition to all of the previously mentioned items, you also have a chance to get the S-Class Arc Marching Beyond Time from the Bright Moon Special Arc Research Program.

A lot more is coming in the second half of Neverness To Everness 1.0

Other than the character herself and her kit, players can expect some new events in Neverness to Everness.

In the Zero's Companion Event, you can choose a companion and complete their exclusive quest to earn rewards like Annulith, Floe Cinema Tickets, Fons, Dyes, and more. The event will run from May 13 to May 27.

There's also the Whisker Patrol Event. Defeat dangerous anomalies and earn event points to unlock rewards. There's a 150 daily cap for event points, so make sure to log in daily to not miss out. The event starts on May 27 and ends on June 3.

The NTE maintenance will start on May 13, 2026, from 10:00 PM to 03:00 AM (UTC). Log in is unavailable during this time period, but don’t worry, as you will receive 10 Fabricated Dice as a reward in the mail once the maintenance ends.

I wish every Hotori-lover luck in obtaining the boss of Eibon Antique Shop!
