Anime Vanguards Update 1.5 is now available for Roblox players, bringing new additions like Familiars, new Units, an Occult Event, and more.
The popular Roblox game’s latest update arrived from developer Kitawari today, further fleshing out the anime crossover experience with new ways to play and a batch of new customization options. Patch notes detail additions that mostly feature new toys to play with, but there’s also a solid list of improvements and bug fixes to help smoothen out the gameplay and visuals, too.
The Anime Vanguards Occult Event tops the list of new content and comes with an Occult Dungeon, a Talismans mechanic, Spirit Wisps, and a host of New Modifiers. There’s also an Occult Shop to visit, an Occult Banner, and New Bundles. However, Kitawari noted in a message on Discord that players will need to be level 20 in order to participate in the event.
While past updates have introduced characters inspired by popular anime like Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Dragon Ball, Update 1.5 pulls from a more recent hit: Dandadan. New units that pull from the show include Divalo (Vanguard), Saiko (Exclusive), Okorun (Exclusive), Pweeny (Exclusive), and Mimi (Exclusive). A skin system will allow players to customize existing Units with new outfits and can be acquired from the Occult Banner. Meanwhile, Kitawari says Familiars help out your Unit by providing them with “substantial buffs.”
Anime Vanguards released in September and has continued to attract Roblox players for months. Although momentum has largely been maintained since launch, its development has not been without the occasional speedbump. In June, the developers behind the anime-inspired adventure addressed concerns that updates would be few and far between, promising to keep up communication as development continued. Update 1.5 proves that there is much more in store, though it’s unclear when the next update might arrive.
In the meantime, you can keep up with our running list of all of the available Anime Vanguards codes here. Players can redeem codes by clicking on the Codes icon and then paste their codes in the “Enter Code” field. For everything included in today’s update, you can read the full patch notes below.
