NTE sets November 11 launch for the “Once Upon a Glitched Call” update

Perfect World Games and developer Hotta Studio have set November 11, 2026, for NTE’s Version 1.5 update, “Once Upon a Glitched Call.” The announcement followed a preview program scheduled for October 28. As of October 30, this is an upcoming update: the announced features and dates are plans, not content already available in the live game.

The story headline is “Meet Me in the Data Stream,” paired with a new Anomalous Realm described as “Invalid Number.” The premise points toward a mystery built around an apparently nonexistent phone number, but players will need the released quest to see how the story develops. The update is also set to add Elyms and Exe. The published schedule places Elyms in the first limited character period from November 11 to December 2; Exe is scheduled for the second phase beginning December 2. Banner dates can change with maintenance timing, so the game’s final notice should take precedence.

The preview outline extends beyond character recruitment. It lists new city activities and mini-games, including City Logistics, Tycoon’s Deck, and Full Tank Ahead. Other announced additions include two vehicles, a new anomaly pilgrimage target, a new open-world interactable called the Pop-Up Divination House, and overflow storage for City Stamina and Character Pixels. On the convenience side, the update is expected to add furniture quick-buying from blueprints and an Upgrade Targets feature for collecting materials toward a selected character.

Hotta also announced rendering support changes: Snapdragon ANF support on mobile and NVIDIA RTX Spark support. These are compatibility announcements, not a blanket promise of performance gains across every device. NTE’s release notes after launch should clarify hardware eligibility and whether the rendering options are available in each client.

The update’s duration is planned to run through December 23, with several events staggered across that period. Three redemption codes listed in the preview recap—INVALIDNUMBER, HIOLDFRIEND, and EXENORESPONSE—were given a November 1 expiration. That deadline is imminent as of this article’s October 30 check, and players should verify the official client or announcement before relying on a code. Likewise, the Steam notice establishes that the preview was scheduled, while the update details were relayed through the publisher’s announcement and the linked preview program. Treat the November schedule as announced and recheck it before planning pulls or spending resources.
