According to the video description, here is what we know about Noctyx's background story so far:

"A group of people who travel to our present so they can walk a different path. Will they find the answers they’ve been searching for? Is the past a lost paradise or just another nightmare?

Five men with different stories travel through time in search of something: a way to redeem themselves, a way to reclaim their past for another shot at a brighter future."

Debut special streaming program

To celebrate their debut, Noctyx will have a special debut program: "Glimpse Into The Future ★「Noctyx」 NIJISANJI EN VTuber Debut Program hosted by Reimu & Ike!" on NIJISANJI English's Official YouTube channel from 10:00 AM on February 27th, 2022 (JST).
