Whales, the August 19 drop for Neverness to Everness 1.3 "Rising from the Moonlight Fog" is the usual Hotta/PW gacha treadmill: new waifus Zankou and Linko, Duskmoor/Fogden map expansion, shared pity across limited boards, and enough summer events to keep F2Ps busy while the real spenders chase S-class pity.

Zankou's Alluring Shadows board runs August 19-September 9 alongside Nanally rerun, then Linko takes over September 9-30 with Hotori. Shared S-class pity counter means one bad 10-pull streak hits both phases, and skin perks track separately but carry between same-name boards. Arc Research Programs and new outfits like Red Nightshade and Surfing Among Stars drop in the mall or via bond levels and mystery boxes.

Steam's holding around 3.5k-4k concurrent with Very Positive reviews, and overseas revenue already beat China on prior patches. Redeem codes FOGDENGAME, EYEOFDELUSION, and SUMMERTIME are live until August 10 if you're not already logged in grinding City Stamina for the new Stillmeadow House property.
