Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0 Brings Lobby Revamp and New Portals Game Mode

Anime Vanguards' Winter Update 3.0: A Sweeping Revamp

Roblox developer Kitawari has unleashed Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0, significantly overhauling the tower defense experience. This update boasts a revamped lobby, a refreshed unit roster, and numerous quality-of-life improvements designed to keep players engaged throughout the winter season.

The most striking change is the completely redesigned lobby, offering expanded space and a remastered UI, including a significantly improved stage selection interface. As Kitawari explains in the patch notes, the previous lobby was too small and limited, hindering the addition of new game modes. The new lobby is described as "10x more impressive," featuring a customizable day/night cycle accessible through the settings menu.

Key features of the update include:

• New Game Modes: "Portals," a new game mode encouraging the use of winter units and skins for enhanced rewards, and "Sandbox Mode," allowing for unrestricted strategy experimentation.
• Expanded Unit Roster: Twelve new units are introduced across a new Winter Banner, the Portals game mode, the battle pass, and leaderboard rewards.
• Quality-of-Life Enhancements: These include smoother unit placement, improved Evolution Quest visibility, search bars for skins and familiars, and clearer unit targeting indicators.

The update builds upon the November update, which introduced content inspired by the anime series Dandadan. For further details on in-game codes, visit here.
