NTE Version 1.5, Once Upon a Glitched Call, is scheduled to launch on November 11, 2026, and will run until December 23, 2026. The update will be divided into two phases, with each phase lasting 21 days. Phase 1 will introduce Elyms, while Phase 2 will bring Exe to the game.

▍New Characters in Version 1.5

Version 1.5 introduces two new S-Rank characters from the Bureau of Anomaly Control's ETD-6 division: Elyms and Exe. Both characters play important roles in the new main storyline and will receive their own limited recruitment banners.

Elyms is one of the central characters in the Version 1.5 storyline. Her banner will be available during the first half of the update.

Exe is a hidden hacker who prioritizes efficiency and handles difficult assignments. His combat mechanics revolve around Frames, Ranks, and Digital Spectrums.

Elyms' Combat Mechanics

Elyms is an S-Rank Cosmos character. Her combat abilities and full kit details were highlighted alongside her introduction in the livestream. She will be available in Phase 1, giving players the first opportunity to recruit one of the new ETD-6 members.

Exe's Combat Mechanics

Exe features a distinctive combat system based on Frames and Ranks. He accumulates Frames through attacks and generates Digital Spectrums to deal additional damage.

His combat rank can increase through successful combos, skills, Perfect Evades, and counterattacks. The rank progresses through B, A, S, SS, and SSS, with higher ranks improving his ability to accumulate Frames.

His Ultimate generates a large number of Frames and activates an enhanced state. During this state, attacks continuously release Digital Spectrums. Holding the Basic Attack button can also instantly eliminate non-boss enemies within range while extending the enhanced state.

▍NTE Version 1.5 Banner Schedule

The livestream confirmed the recruitment schedule for the two new S-Rank characters and two returning characters.

Players should also pay attention to the recruitment pity rules:

• Limited Character Board pity counts are shared between limited character banners.
• Skin Perk event pull progress is tracked separately for each board.
• Arc Research Recruitment Plans share pull counts and pity guarantees between their respective special features.

This means players can plan their recruitment resources more efficiently when switching between featured characters and Arcs.

▍New Story of NTE Version 1.5

Version 1.5 introduces a new main story chapter titled Meet Me in the Data Stream, centered on a mysterious urban legend known as the Invalid Number.

The legend tells of people who encounter old friends in their dreams. After waking up, they can only remember a mysterious phone number. However, whenever they try to call it, an automated message informs them that the number does not exist.

As more people report similar experiences, the Appraiser joins Elyms and Exe to investigate the mystery. The investigation eventually leads to a new digital world and a submerged city hidden within the data stream.

New Anomalous Realm: Invalid Number System

The Invalid Number System will be introduced as a new Anomalous Realm in Version 1.5.

Players can explore this unusual digital environment while uncovering the truth behind the mysterious phone calls and the people appearing in their dreams.

A new Anomaly Pilgrimage featuring Graceful Corruptor, Nest Mother will also become available. Players can challenge this new boss to obtain Hollowed Seed, a new character development material.

New Vehicles and Tank Battle Mode

Version 1.5 is also expanding Hethereau's transportation and competitive gameplay with two new vehicles.

• Ruler of the Land 001 Prototype: A lion-shaped ride inspired by a children's rocking toy. Its acceleration feature consumes Ponds.
• Iron Tiger: A compact tank equipped with tracks and a turret, capable of firing shells.

Both vehicles will be introduced through the Blind Box event.

New Game Mode: Tank Mayhem

The new competitive mode Tank Mayhem allows players to pilot tanks and battle against other players.

Instead of simply driving around Hethereau, players can now experience vehicle-based combat using the new tank mechanics. This adds another competitive activity to the game's growing collection of city activities.

▍New Outfits and Character Cosmetics

Players can also look forward to new accessories, including Little Friend and Marksman's Eye. Little Friend is available as a cumulative progress reward through Fortune Market.
