NTE Version 1.2 Launches on Steam With New S-Rank Character Crimson
Hotta Studio released version 1.2 of the urban open-world RPG "NTE: Neverness to Everness" on July 8, 2026, expanding the game to Steam, Epic Games Store, and Samsung Galaxy Store. The update, titled "Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Nights," introduces a permanent fantasy mode called the Warren Continent, where players explore areas such as Chocolate Volcano and Shaved Ice Mountain while fighting monsters and dragons. A new limited S-rank character, Crimson (voiced by Azusa Tadokoro), joins the roster as a light-element attacker from the Anomaly Management Bureau's Containment Section 2. She has a dual-form combat system that switches between normal and awakened states, building up a gauge called Rebellious Fighting Spirit to enter a rampage mode. The update also adds a new bike called Draco that can strafe and jump, plus various events including hide-and-seek and auction modes. A second limited character, Irohi (voiced by Rina Hidaka), will debut on July 29. Players who create an account before version 1.2 ends on August 19 will receive a free S-rank permanent character selection box. The game quickly attracted around 5,000 concurrent players on Steam, with a 93% positive review rating from approximately 300 reviews.
