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

Anime Vanguards' Winter Update 3.0: A Festive Frost-Filled Frenzy!

Developer Kitawari has unleashed Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0, a major overhaul bringing a blizzard of new content and quality-of-life improvements to this popular tower defense game. Prepare for a significantly enhanced experience!

The most striking change is the completely redesigned lobby, offering significantly more space for players. This is accompanied by a remastered UI, boasting a much cleaner and improved stage selection interface. Kitawari addressed player feedback regarding the previous lobby's limitations, stating the need for more space to accommodate new game modes. The new lobby even features a customizable day/night cycle, accessible in the settings!

This update introduces a thrilling new game mode: Portals. Players are encouraged to utilize winter units and skins for enhanced team damage and bonus rewards. A Sandbox Mode is also available for unrestricted experimentation and strategic testing. A total of 12 new units are scattered across a new Winter Banner, the Portals game mode, the battle pass, and leaderboard rewards.

Numerous quality-of-life improvements streamline gameplay, including smoother unit placement, a dedicated tab for Evolution Quests, and search bars added to the skins and familiar windows. Units now clearly highlight their target enemy.

This update follows a string of successful updates since the game's launch last January, including a recent November update inspired by the anime series Dandadan. For active codes and further details on Kitawari's developments, check here.
