Hello, this is BBokGames.

Here are the patch notes for v0.2.8.

Developer's Note

Hello.

This 0.2.8 update includes improvements to the game entry panel UI, the addition of an auto camera feature, various bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements.

The newly added auto camera feature automatically follows units in battle, providing a screen flow similar to spectating an actual match. It is enabled by default and can be disabled in the options if you prefer.

In addition, Trial Mode Season 1 begins on Monday, July 6, 2026 (UTC).

With the season's start, the preseason ranking leaderboard will be reset, and Trial Mode seasons will run in 2-week cycles thereafter. Rewards will be granted based on rank at the end of each season, and special season rewards will also be provided to all players who participated.

We hope you'll join in.

This update also adjusts how some modes operate.

First, Expedition mode will be temporarily disabled. Expedition was offered as single-player PvE content, but we concluded that its current structure alone could not provide enough fun and purpose. Accordingly, Expedition will be reworked into a story mode format and reintroduced in a future update.

Arena ranked games will also be disabled for the time being. Since real-time ranked matchmaking is currently difficult to run smoothly, we will operate Arena primarily around normal games and private rooms for now.

Arena ranked games will be re-enabled once a more stable matchmaking environment is in place.

We'll continue improving to provide a better play experience.

Thank you.
