Why Do NTE Redeem Codes Expire So Fast? (Livestream vs Standard Codes)

If you are a new player jumping into Neverness to Everness (NTE) for the Version 1.2 Steam launch, you might be frustrated to find that some high-value redeem codes you saw online are already expired. Recently, many players voiced their frustration on Reddit after missing out on the Version 1.2 Livestream codes [1].

In gacha games, premium currency (Annulith) is tightly controlled. Hotta Studio uses different types of redeem codes, each with its own expiration rules. Here is everything you need to know about NTE codes so you never miss free pulls again.

The Three Types of NTE Redeem Codes

1. Livestream Codes (The 24-Hour Trap)

Before every major version update, Hotta Studio hosts a “Preview Special Program” livestream. During these streams, they drop three highly valuable codes (usually containing 100 Annulith each, for a total of 300 Annulith).

Expiration Rule: These codes expire within 24 to 48 hours after the livestream ends. For example, the Version 1.2 livestream aired on June 27, and the codes (SHINKU0708, 999NIGHTS, IROI0729) expired on June 29. If you find these codes in YouTube videos or old articles weeks later, they will not work.

2. Event & Launch Codes (The 30-Day Window)

When a new version launches, or during major real-world events (like the Porsche collaboration), the developers will release promotional codes on their official social media channels.

Expiration Rule: These codes typically last for 30 days or until the end of the current version patch. For example, the codes DREAMWALK0603 and TOMATO100 were released in early June and remained active throughout Version 1.1.

3. Permanent / Evergreen Codes (No Expiration)

A very small number of codes are designed for new players and do not have an expiration date (or they last for over a year).

Expiration Rule: These rarely contain Annulith. They usually provide basic materials like Fons (money) or low-level character EXP materials. For example, the code NTENENE provides 10,000 Fons and food items, and has been active since the game’s initial launch.
