NTE Upcoming Characters: Banner Units That May Arrive After 1.1 (Community Leak Roundup)

Quick answer: Characters that may debut in Neverness to Everness (NTE) after 1.1 (community leak roundup, unconfirmed by the developers) include Nitsa, Linko, Shinku, Exe, Elyms and Iroi; plus Chaos, who has already been confirmed by an official preview (1.1 second-half banner). The names, elements and release order can all still change before launch, so always defer to the official announcements.

Players on the NTE board of Bahamut (Taiwan’s largest gaming forum) have put together a “1.1 and future versions leak thread” (a high-traffic discussion), gathering future-version intel from pre-download datamines, test-server leaks and community word-of-mouth. This page summarizes the “list of characters that may debut later” currently circulating across the community, giving players a rough idea of what the next few versions might hold — this page is not official information, so please treat it strictly as reference.

How reliable is leaked intel?

What the community calls “leaks” isn’t all the same thing, and reliability roughly breaks into three tiers:

• Pre-download datamines — strings, models, UI and so on pulled directly from the game’s pre-download files; the most accurate (essentially an early reveal of the official files).
• Test-server leaks — screenshots or footage that escaped a closed test; the developers can still change things before the live version, so reliability is moderate.
• Forum hearsay — secondhand news passed along by players with no supporting evidence; the least reliable, with a lot of noise.

The character list below is a combined summary of the first two categories, but it is still some distance from an official announcement.

Banner characters that may debut after 1.1

A “banner character” is each version’s headlining S-rank limited unit. The community-compiled list of upcoming debuts is as follows:

• Nitsa (妮夏) — one of the limited characters for a version after 1.1; element and role to be confirmed
• Linko (靈可) — one of the limited characters for a version after 1.1
• Chaos (卡厄斯) — already confirmed by an official preview as a new character on the 1.1 second-half banner (Lakshana element)
• Shinku (真紅) — one of the limited characters for a version after 1.1
• Exe — one of the limited characters for a version after 1.1
• Elyms (曳爾沐) — one of the limited characters for a version after 1.1
• Iroi (伊洛伊) — one of the limited characters for a version after 1.1

These 7 names will be spread across different banners in later versions such as 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, and at present their corresponding versions and order, elements, and roles are all unconfirmed. As the developers gradually reveal them in their preview livestreams, this site will update accordingly.

Characters confirmed by official previews

At present, only two future characters have been officially confirmed:

• Lacrimosa (安魂曲) — 1.1 first-half banner, Chaos-element S-rank Main DPS
• Chaos (卡厄斯) — 1.1 second-half banner, Lakshana element

For full 1.1 version intel, see Version 1.1 Preview: Lacrimosa Rerun and New Character Chaos.

How should players treat this intel?

• If you want to know who the next character is: use it as a reference for managing expectations, and keep an eye out for whether your favorite design style shows up.
• If you want to plan gacha resources: we do not recommend saving and pulling purely based on the leak list — the order and elements can all change, so deciding your targets once the official preview or the actual banner goes live carries far less risk. For a full saving-and-pulling framework, see Character Build Priority and Gacha Pity System Explained.
• If you want to see detailed datamine images: head straight to the source discussion thread below, where players keep posting the latest leaked information.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Are these characters guaranteed to release? A: Not necessarily. Leaks come from files still in development, and the developers reserve the right to change, delay, or even cut any character on the list before launch.
• Q: What are their elements and roles? A: The community does not yet have element/role information verified across multiple sources, so this article only lists names. We will add the details once an official preview reveals them.
• Q: Will this site keep updating the list? A: Yes. Each time an official preview livestream reveals new character details, we will move the corresponding entry from “unconfirmed” to the Version 1.1 Preview or to a new version-intel article.
