NTE 1.4 global version record: Akane Rin and the official maintenance windows
Neverness to Everness 1.4 releases on
30 September 2026
The exact unlock time has not been announced. The countdown above runs to midnight where you are, which is the earliest the date can start for you — not a confirmed unlock moment. We update this page as soon as the publisher or the store page states a time.
The global notice scheduled 30 September maintenance for 06:00–11:00 UTC+8 and explicitly allowed earlier or later reopening. A scheduled end is not a measured unlock minute. This record does not substitute the CN calendar or claim an observed exact reopening time.

23 October revision: now based on the global patch notes. The old page’s “unlock hour unannounced” wording missed the maintenance window published on 29 September. It is corrected here. A maintenance estimate is still not an observed server-reopening timestamp.
Two global milestones, not a CN calendar substitution
| Milestone | Official global time, UTC+8 | What the evidence means |
|---|---|---|
| Version 1.4 maintenance | 30 September 06:00–11:00 | Historical scheduled window; earlier/later reopening allowed |
| Second-update maintenance | 21 October 06:00–11:00 | Historical scheduled window; earlier/later reopening allowed |
| Blackbird board end | 21 October 05:59 | Ended |
| Akane Rin board and Arc end | 11 November 05:59 | Announced end, not a confirmed 1.5 opening |

Returning now: which reward first?
Check Mail access, the House Special outfit, 2,000,000 Fons and each mail’s expiry first. Seven-day login rewards, Puka Membership progression and board cosmetics use different routes. Do not combine them into an instant-login giveaway. Full conditions and corrections to the earlier recap are in the Phase II reward checklist.
Story access is separate from owning the new character
Akane Rin’s board requires the Prologue task taking you to Eibon Antique Shop. The spinoff To Us, Back Then requires The Witch and A Legendary(?) Band’s First Page. The notice does not require owning Akane to unlock that story.
Scope: global official text, not a renewed audit of CN Phase II dates, claimed rewards or character builds. No next-version date is inferred from the board’s end. Next: code redemption and expiry records.
