 * A new stage, Memory of Ikedaya (池田屋の記憶), has been added.

 * Mikazuki Munechika's log-in line has been changed.
 * From Worlds 1-5, all night battles have been replaced with normal battles.

 * The stat bonuses and reductions between types of swords during night battles has been made more pronounced.
 * Archer, Musketeer, and Catapult attacks during night battles can now be evaded.
 * Memory of Ikedaya:
 * Unlike previous eras, as the Memory of Ikedaya takes place on the streets, horses cannot be used. It is possible to equip the horse, but its stat bonuses will not take effect. However, cavalry troops still work as normal.
 * Also, the entire world consists of night battles. Tantou and Wakizashi have an advantage during night battles; adding them to your party will improve combat performance.
 * From 17:00 to 18:15 (GMT+9), on the Memory of Ikedaya, a bug wherein players would not return to the citadel after a boss node has been confirmed. This has since been fixed. We apologize for the inconvenience.
 * An emergency maintenance was conducted from 20:30 - 22:00 (GMT+9). Enemy parameters in the Memory of Ikedaya have been adjusted.
 * We have received reports from users concerning a black 'failed to initialize' screen on April 16th. We apologize deeply for the inconvenience.
 * As such, users can file a report on which operating system (e.g. Windows Vista, Mac OSX), browser (e.g. IE, Chrome), and antivirus software (Norton) they were using at that time. It will greatly help us during investigation on said black screen.
 * Start of the Repair Campaign (手入キャンペーン). Repair times will be halved.
 * The new stage is currently scheduled to be released at April 21. Please wait for further announcements regarding the release date.
 * All servers are full. Dates for the new servers will be announced at the end of April.
 * We have recently confirmed that there are a number of players who are unfairly manipulating the game and repeatedly accessing it in unintended ways.
 * Such unfair practices greatly increase the load on the servers and make it difficult for other players to fully enjoy the game.
 * If players are found utilizing such unfair practices, we will take action against these accounts for sake of other players. We ask that players do not use cheat or macro tools.
 * In addition, because playing with a single account on multiple browsers or browser tabs may cause unintended behavior in game, we ask that you please refrain from doing so.
 * We had discovered from 11:00 on April 16th onwards that the Lv. 10-29 Kebiishi in Satsuma no Kuni and Bingo no Kuni were not the weakened versions that were permanently implemented following the Kebiishi Suppression campaign.
 * We have since rectified the issue. We deeply apologize to the players of those servers.
 * The two new servers have been opened: Satsuma no Kuni (薩摩国) and Bingo no Kuni (備後国).
 * ​Fixed a display issue when the player logs in and Internal Affairs completes at the same time an Expedition team returns
 * Fixed the layout of the self-introduction fields in the PvP menu
 * Fixed the issue where using the [Remove All] button to remove troops from swords, then re-equipping them with the same types of troops would appear so that nothing is equipped
 * Corrected Ichigo Hitofuri's dialogue when he comes to the player for the first time
 * Corrected the use of an outdated kanji for 国 in a certain reference to Doutanuki Masakuni's name
 * Corrected Konnosuke's dialogue during the tutorial

 * Regarding the next server expansion:
 * ​The next server expansion has been scheduled for the 14th of April, 2015. Two new servers will be added: Satsuma no Kuni (薩摩国) and Bingo no Kuni (備後国).
 * Please note that we are expecting high levels of server congestion following this maintenance, and we ask that new players who have yet to join a server should try to enter one immediately after the end of the maintenance.
 * ​Regarding future content:
 * ​We are currently developing a new Front Lines stage set in Kyoto.
 * Instead of battles that take place on battlefields, as with previous Front Lines stages, these battles will take place on the streets of Kyoto.
 * We will announce more information at a future date. We appreciate your patience.
 * Below are a list of currently known bugs and issues. We are planning to fix this issues in this order, but we ask for your patience while we are addressing these bugs, and we are sorry for the inconvenience.
 * Bug: If you use the [Remove All] button to remove equips from a sword, then attempt to re-equip the same troops, it appears as if the game does not register the attempt and nothing is equipped. Exiting and re-entering the Formation menu will correctly update the swords to display their equips.
 * From Era 3 onwards, it is not possible to achieve a Rank S Victory rating: This is currently considered an intended feature of the game. It is currently under evaluation, and we may modify it in the future to make the game easier to play.
 * During the long-range attack phase, there are times when some enemies will not be hit: This is currently considered an intended feature of the game. It is currently under evaluation, and we may modify it in the future for the sake of clarity and improving the battle system.
 * FAQ Update: ' "Why are my swords not attacking in order of their Mobility stat?"'  → While the Mobility stat is a major factor, please note that there are other factors that are taken into account when determining turn order.
