Neverness to Everness (NTE) continues to expand its real-world presence with a massive new collaboration. Following the recent Porsche and Beard Papa’s partnerships, Hotta Studio has teamed up with GS25, one of South Korea’s largest convenience store chains, for the “Convenience Store Tycoon” event.
The collaboration, which began on June 18, 2026, has already proven to be wildly successful, with certain limited-edition items selling out almost immediately.
The Mint Cake Frenzy
The most talked-about aspect of the collaboration within the global community is the exclusive Mint Cake. Announced on the morning of June 18, the cake reservations sold out within a single day.
What makes this cake so special? It features the popular character Mint wearing a brand-new, exclusive convenience store uniform outfit. Fans on Reddit and social media have been clamoring for this outfit to be made available in-game, perhaps as a future summer banner outfit or via a redeem code, though Hotta Studio has yet to confirm if the “Convenience Store Mint” skin will be playable.
Collaboration Bento Boxes and In-Game Rewards
For fans in South Korea, the collaboration extends beyond just cake. GS25 is offering six special Neverness to Everness collaboration bento boxes.
Purchasing one of these bento boxes rewards players with a coupon code that grants:
- Special Hunter Guide
- Chaos Dye
Redeeming these coupons also gives players a random chance to obtain either the GS25-exclusive “Wonderful Life” profile frame or 800 Phantasm Crystals.
Additionally, a stamp collection event is running via the “Our Neighborhood GS” app. Collecting stamps by purchasing collab products enters users into a prize draw for physical merchandise, including acrylic keyrings and framed mood lights.
Hapjeong Premium Semi-Pop-Up Store
To celebrate the partnership, a special semi-pop-up store has opened at the GS25 Hapjeong Premium branch in Seoul, running from June 19 to June 23.
The store is fully decorated with NTE themes and sells exclusive “Convenience Store Tycoon” merchandise. The opening day saw massive crowds of Appraisers lining up before the doors even opened.
Pop-Up Store Highlights:
- Tiered Spending Rewards: Customers purchasing merch on-site receive tiered rewards such as mint bags, acrylics, and random character photo cards.
- Tycoon Grade Verification: Users who verify their in-game “Tycoon Grade” on-site receive a coupon code for 50,000 Fons.
- Special Guests: Cosplayers in collaboration outfits and the Korean voice actor for the newly released character Lacrimosa are scheduled to visit the site to interact with fans.
The GS25 collaboration runs until July 15, 2026. While the physical merchandise and food items are limited to South Korea, global fans are keeping their fingers crossed that the exclusive Mint outfit might eventually make its way to the international servers.
