v3.0 Anime Vanguards Update Unveils Lobby Refresh, Portals Gameplay

Anime Vanguards' Winter Update 3.0: A Snowy Avalanche of New Content

Roblox developer Kitawari has unleashed Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0, a significant overhaul bringing substantial changes to the tower defense game. This update isn't just a flurry of minor fixes; it's a blizzard of new content designed for long-lasting enjoyment.

The most striking alteration is the completely redesigned lobby, offering anime enthusiasts a much more spacious and visually appealing starting point. This revamp includes a remastered user interface (UI), particularly a streamlined and improved stage selection UI. As Kitawari explains in the patch notes, the previous lobby was too cramped, prompting the creation of a new lobby described as "10x more impressive," even featuring a customizable day-night cycle accessible in the settings.

Key additions include a new game mode, "Portals," encouraging players to utilize winter units and skins for enhanced rewards. A Sandbox Mode allows for unrestricted experimentation with strategies. The update also introduces 12 new units obtainable through a new Winter Banner, the Portals game mode, the battle pass, and updated leaderboard rewards.

Quality-of-life improvements include smoother unit placement, Evolution Quests now appearing in a dedicated tab, search bars added to skins and familiar windows, and improved unit targeting visuals.

This update follows a November update inspired by the anime Dandadan, showcasing Kitawari's commitment to ongoing content additions since the game's launch last January. For more information, including active codes, check out this link.
