NTE Ver.1.4 Adds Cars That Mow Down Trees
The update continues a pattern the game has held since its April release, where content added in separate patches accumulates into a city where the improvised activity, not the main story, is the point.

NTE: Neverness to Everness will release Ver.1.4, titled Nameless Prayer Song, on September 30. The update adds new characters and new playgrounds, but the change drawing attention is one that lets a car drive through roadside trees. Footage from the Chinese version, released ahead of others, shows a car speeding around while ripping up large trees. The author plans to check the details after the update reaches Japan.
The change fits a city that has been gaining unrelated pastimes for five months. The Hoshigure Protected Area, a jumping bike, the in-game SNS Bagel, and a prison Fight Club all arrived after the official April release, and the author describes them as having merged into one continuous detour. Earlier additions included a collaboration with Porsche, a sword-and-sorcery mode called Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Nights, and in Ver.1.3 a new area close in size to Hetero City. New stories and characters are expected for a live-service RPG; the side activities are where the author says the game keeps exceeding expectation.
