NTE New & Upcoming Characters, Full Playable Character List

Neverness to Everness (NTE) is an upcoming supernatural urban open-world action RPG/gacha game from Hotta Studio (Perfect World Games). It features a roster of “Espers” with unique designs, elements/attributes, roles, and Arc compatibilities. The game is scheduled to launch globally on April 29, 2026, for PC, PS5, Android, iOS, and Mac with cross-play support.

As of early-to-mid 2026 (pre-launch betas and previews), the confirmed playable roster includes around 16 characters, mostly from closed beta tests (CBT3/Co-Ex Test). These are divided into S-rank (premium/limited) and A-rank characters. The protagonist Esper Zero has male and female versions (swappable via a side quest).

Confirmed Playable Characters

Here’s a compiled list based on recent previews and beta showcases (elements, roles, and Arc types where available; some details like exact rarities or kits may shift slightly at launch):

S-Rank Characters (higher rarity, often featured on banners):

• Zero (Cosmos, Damage, Solid Arc) — Protagonist; sword user, available in male/female forms.
• Baicang (Incantation, Damage, Synthesis) — Laidback captain type from Bureau of Anomaly Control.
• Chiz (Cosmos, Damage, Gas) — Yokai hammer user; often noted as unlockable/free in some contexts.
• Daffodil (Chaos, Damage, Liquid) — Bodyguard at Eibon antique shop; quiet, eyepatch collector; strong in break/boss damage.
• Fadia (Psyche, Survival, Synthesis) — Cunning Bureau agent.
• Hathor (Lakshana, Buff, Plasma) — Intimidating courier for Sterry Express.
• Hotori (Cosmos, Survival/Support, Solid) — Proprietress of Eibon antique shop; time-related hints in betas.
• Jiuyuan (Anima, Damage, Solid) — Floppy hat wearer, possibly courier/manager.
• Lacrimosa (Chaos, Damage, Gas) — Sleepy character who creates constructs or transforms into a “trash-can dog” for flaming attacks.
• Nanally (Anima, Damage, Plasma) — Cat-girl Esper; reliable in major operations; lightning attacks; frequently top-tier in previews.
• Sakiri (Incantation, Buff, Gas) — Quirky with a gluttonous companion (Kiroumaru).

A-Rank Characters (more accessible, including free/pre-reg rewards):

• Adler (Incantation, Survival, Synthesis) — Butler at Eibon antique shop; calm, reliable, eyes always closed.
• Edgar (Cosmos, Survival, Liquid) — Mature young member of the antique shop team.
• Haniel (Psyche, Buff, Solid) — Social media enthusiast; often a pre-registration reward.
• Mint (Anima, Damage, Liquid) — Bureau of Anomaly Control agent; dual blades + tornado attacks; loves ice cream.
• Skia (Lakshana, Damage, Gas) — Wolf-like non-human; shadow transformation to phase through enemies.

Other mentions in betas/CBT3 showcases include gameplay for characters like these with skills, ultimates, idle animations, and movement. Top meta picks in pre-launch tier lists often highlight Daffodil, Nanally, Baicang, Adler, and Jiuyuan for bossing, mob clearing, and synergy.

Notes on roster size: Beta tests showed 13–16 playable units. Post-launch, the roster is expected to grow quickly (some sources mention potential for ~38 characters by Version 1.0 with updates, including new additions like Aurelia). Tier lists and builds evolve rapidly after launch.

New & Upcoming Characters

Several characters have been teased in trailers, early betas, and official materials but lack full details (rarity, element, role, or Arc) as of March 2026 previews. They are expected in launch banners or post-launch updates:

• Alphard
• Akane (or Acane)
• Black Bird
• Illica
• Jenson
• Shinku
• Iroi (or lroi)
• Nitsa
• Elyms
• Lingko (ghost anomaly partner, Tamagotchi collector; part of ETO-6 unit)
• Exe (captain of ETO-6; elf-like with floating elements)
• Chaos (yapping character with abs/skintight outfit)

Additional teased or NPC-like figures (e.g., Otto, Mismo, Nightingale, Settyn, or an unknown girl from trailers) may become playable later. Community hype often focuses on designs like Nitsa, Shinku, Akane, Exe, and Chaos for their unique aesthetics and potential kits.

More characters (and full kits, voice acting, etc.) are likely to be revealed closer to or after the April 29, 2026 launch via official trailers, the in-game database, or sites like the NTE wiki.

Additional Info

• Gameplay style: Open-world exploration in a city filled with anomalies, gacha summoning for Espers, team building with elements/roles (Damage DPS, Survival tanks/supports, Buff supports), and combat featuring skills, ultimates, and transformations.
• Tier lists: Pre-launch rankings emphasize break damage (Daffodil), single-target DPS (Nanally), and comfy supports (Adler). These are subjective and will update with patches and player data.
• Sources for updates: Check the official website (nte.perfectworld.com), in-game character database, fandom wiki, or reliable gacha sites for post-launch rosters, builds, and banners.

The roster blends stylish, supernatural designs with urban fantasy vibes—many characters tie into factions like the Bureau of Anomaly Control or Eibon antique shop. If you’re planning pulls, focus on meta standouts like Nanally or Daffodil while saving for teased favorites.
