New character Updates in 8/2026

In 8/2026, we found 5 New character updates, from 5 games. The same game can post multiple updates of the same type within a month, so the update count can exceed the number of games. This page is only generated for combinations with 5 or more updates in a month, so a month missing from the list either had few updates of this type or hasn't been collected yet.

Of the 63 updates this month, New character accounted for 8%. The same type made up 1 update the previous month. A shift in type share signals where publishers focused that month, but it doesn't measure the scale of any single update.

The game that appeared most often in this combination was 명일방주: 엔드필드, with 1 update. A game clustering around one update type can indicate that its operating cycle revolves around that type.

The New character classification is determined by applying rules to the wording of official announcements from game publishers. An update can be tagged with multiple types, so the sum of counts across types can exceed the total number of updates. The classification criteria and method are documented on the methodology page, and any misclassifications we find are reflected in the corrections log.
