From Winter Window to Exact Date
July's Scouting Report filled gameplay gaps — Exterior Scouting as mission-based open zones with supply bases, morale, and retreat decisions; RPG-style recruitment; and deadlier Titan patterns. August closed the calendar question and gave collectors concrete SKUs and bonus lists.
Localization remains Japanese audio with multi-language text. Western press lists EFIGS; July Asia briefings also referenced Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean.
