Anime Squadron rolls major Roblox patches on a weekly UPDATE cadence — new arcs, roster units, event currencies, and redeem codes land during each scheduled window. This page tracks when those windows open and close — separate from permanent modes like Invasion, Raids, and Infinite.
Update 3.0 is live (Aug 16–30, 2026). Crusader Desert from Update 2.5 stays playable; earlier Shinobi / Ghoul / Mugen windows stay archived below. Update 2.0 Shinobi routes and earlier Ghoul City / Mugen Train content stay playable. Redeem the active batch on our Codes page, then check Crusader units on the Tier List and Characters guides before spending Bills or cubes.

Events FAQ
When is the next Anime Squadron update?
Update 3.0 is live now (Aug 15, 2026 – Aug 29, 2026). The countdown above tracks time left in the window.
What do Anime Squadron UPDATE events include?
Each UPDATE window marks a Roblox patch cycle — new story arcs, Squadron stages, raid zones, roster units, event currencies, and redeem codes typically drop during the live window. Read the active card description for the current feature list.
How should I read the timezone table?
The first live or upcoming card shows UTC, your local clock, and a regional table so you can compare start and end times with friends in other countries. Times update automatically from the scheduled window — you do not need to convert manually.
Where do I redeem Anime Squadron update codes?
Open the in-game Codes menu on the left after the patch goes live. Our Codes page lists active and expired promo rows with reward notes — redeem before spending rerolls on a pre-patch squad.
Are AdminAbuse! codes a separate Admin Abuse event?
No. AdminAbuse! and AdminAbuse2! are redeem strings on the Codes page (Bills, shards, Gold) from the Update 2.5 batch. This Events page tracks patch windows — not a separate timed Admin Abuse lobby card. Launch-era AdminAbuseSoon! is expired.
Are UPDATE events the same as Infinite Mode or Raids?
No. This page tracks developer patch windows and limited-time update banners. Infinite Mode, Raids, and story farming routes are permanent game modes — see the Combat & Modes guide for mode unlock levels and drop tables.
What is in Update 3.0?
Update 3.0 went live August 16, 2026 (window through Aug 30). Redeem UPD3.0!, FreeTanjiroEvo!, and COMETOMERIKA! on Codes first — Trait Shards, Gems, Perfect Prisms / Prisms, and a full Tanjiro awaken mat pack. Crusader Desert from Update 2.5 stays playable for Bills and Diros gear. New maps and banner units are still settling — do not rebuild your whole roster from rumors; use the countdown and regional timezone table on this card for the live window.
