The Release Codes Update is the first code-focused update after Anime Squadron's full release window. It matters because players joining after launch are not only asking whether the game is live; they are asking which codes are still worth typing before they spend time farming gems, gold, trait rerolls, stat cubes, or zeni. The public update timeline lists a June 13 release-code drop after the June 12 full launch, and several code trackers report launch-week reward codes with overlapping but not identical active lists.
For players, the safe action is to redeem the release-week codes first, then test older early-access codes separately. Public code trackers agree on several current or recent launch codes, including `Release!`, `Yokoso!`, `SorryForLongMaintenance!`, `Tysm30KCCU!`, and `CRAZYSUPPORT!`. They also connect these codes to early resources such as Gems, Gold, Trait Rerolls, Stat Cubes, Trait Candy, and Zeni. Those rewards matter immediately because Anime Squadron's release loop asks players to summon units, upgrade them, evolve them, and build a lineup for waves and bosses.
The update also creates a status boundary for old early-access rewards. Codes such as `EarlyAccess!`, `ThankYouEA!`, and `Sorry4Bugs!` appear across public lists as older launch-window or early-access codes, but current status depends on the source. A player reading this note cannot safely assume every old code still works. Try current release codes first, then test older codes in-game and move failed redeems to expired history. That keeps current rewards apart from launch-week leftovers that may already be shut off.
This note shows what changed during the release-code window: new rewards arrived around launch, early-access codes started moving out of the main active pool, and some code status claims conflict between public code trackers. Use the current code list for active and expired status; use this note to understand why release rewards, old EA codes, and related redemption warnings changed.
The release-code update affects beginner progression more than it affects high-level rankings. Free gems and gold can speed the first summon and upgrade checks, while trait rerolls and stat cubes can change how early units perform before players have a stable roster. Avoid spend those rewards blindly. Redeem the codes, confirm the reward type in-game, then decide whether to use rerolls on a unit that is still obtainable and already tested in the release build.
