Linko will be a playable character in the second half of NTE Version 1.3
The second limited character for Neverness to Everness (NTE) Version 1.3 has been revealed, with Linko of ETD-6 set to join the playable character roster. She will arrive on her limited-time banner following Zankou's banner in the first half of the update.
Linko has been revealed as an S-Class Anima Esper, joining the already stacked roster of Anima-type characters, including Nanally, Jiu Yuan, Mint, and the upcoming Iroi. She is expected to arrive around 9 September, 2026, following NTE's three-week limited banner cycle.
Who is Linko in Neverness to Everness?
Linko is a member of the Bureau of Anomaly Control's ETD-6, serving alongside the Version 1.2 character Chaos, as well as lieutenant Elyms and captain Exe, both of whom are currently unplayable.
Appraisers may have already encountered Linko, as she briefly appeared at the end of The Debt Collector chapter in the main story. She stands out for her partnership with a ghost anomaly named "Xiao Xen," who resides inside a TV that Linko carries around like a backpack.
While she has been confirmed as an S-Class Anima Esper, her abilities have yet to be revealed. Many players believe she will be a powerful support character or a utility sub-DPS capable of providing valuable buffs in battle.
NTE unveiled Linko's drip marketing post with the slogan:
"Bzzt, bzzt! Appraiser, do you copy? This is Linko from ETD-6, executing Operation Play Date!"
When is Linko coming out in Neverness to Everness?
Linko is expected to be released on 9 September, 2026, based on NTE's three-week limited banner schedule. She is expected to arrive three weeks after Zankou's limited-time banner ends, with Zankou's banner believed to launch on 19 August, 2026.
