How to read this codex

Listed entries: 0
Characters / Collabs: 0 / 0
New this month: 0
Games featuring listed entries: 0

No entries have individual pages yet. 74 names have been extracted from updates, but only ones verified and promoted by a human editor become pages.

Auto-extraction relies on cues like brackets, quotes, and phrases such as "new OO," so false positives slip in. Names sometimes get cut to a single character, or the same entry gets caught twice under different spellings. Turning that straight into pages would flood the site with pages that have nothing worth reading. So an entry only becomes a page once it passes all three conditions: the type is character or collab, the name is at least two characters long, and an operator has approved the promotion. Even before promotion, the update records where that entry appeared are already tracked.

What character release cadence tells you about a game

In gacha and collection games, adding new characters is the most regular type of release. Events and balance patches can shift earlier or later depending on circumstances, but characters tend to follow a fairly fixed schedule tied to the season structure.

That's why the interval between character additions serves as a stand-in for a game's content cycle length. Looking at how often new characters show up gives you a sense of the pace a game runs on.

A shorter interval suggests competitive pressure or a season transition; a longer one suggests preparation for a major update or a shift in development resources. But this is an observation, not an explanation of cause — the same change in interval can come from entirely different circumstances.

Collaborations are different in nature. Tied to partnership agreements, they show up as quarterly or seasonal events rather than on a regular cycle, and since they're time-limited, their end dates often aren't captured in the data. That's why collaboration records frequently show a start with no end.

So this catalog is both a list of what has been released and a record of the rhythm it was released in.

Frequently asked questions about this page

Why don't all extracted subjects get their own page?: A subject must pass three conditions: its type must be a character or collaboration, its name must be at least two characters long, and an operator must have approved promoting it. Because automatic extraction relies on patterns like brackets, quotation marks, and "New OO," it picks up some false positives — and turning those into pages as-is would flood the site with pages that have nothing worth reading.
Where do subject names come from?: Only names are extracted from official publisher announcements and store update records. We don't reproduce the original text — if you need the source text, each update's detail page links to the official announcement.
Why aren't there character illustrations or icons?: We never store or display game images, icons, screenshots, or artwork. Everything shown on this site is our own writing and our own calculated values.
What's the basis for the grade?: It's filled in only when the announcement includes a grade. If there's no grade listed, the field is left blank rather than guessed — which is why some subjects within the same game have a grade and others don't.
A name was captured incorrectly. What should I do?: Let us know through the contact page, and we'll review and correct it. Corrections are published as a monthly summary in the corrections log.
