GFreeman, I disagree; although KanColle (from what I've read) does this, I think even with modified graphics it would be much more streamlined and sensible for any upgrades to be consolidated into one collection book entry (for example, in Pokémon, all Mega Evolutions are incorporated into the same PokéDex entry as their normal counterpart so there aren't, like, 40 extra Pokémon listed when in reality they're the same Pokémon). Granted, I'm not going to get into any details on why I think it would be disappointing if all three newly-added swords were actually the same sword, since nothing is confirmed as of yet. We'll find out what's the case after the maintenance to add the Expert difficulty map, or when someone gets Hizamaru, whichever comes first.

And Monoyoshi, Touken Ranbu itself hasn't done this before, but usually when other games add content, such as a playable character, they may have an extra update prior to include at least some data for when the information is fully added later. For instance, a lot of Super Smash Bros. character leaks occurred because people were able to find data on characters before they were actually incorporated, because some data on them was patched in prior. It's possible that the dev team added data for Higekiri (and another mystery sword) early, which would lead to the increased sword count. Again, we would have to see if there are any more swords added following the upcoming maintenance to know, or if someone manages to get Hizamaru beforehand.
