The first downloadable content bundle launched alongside the game. It includes a ninja outfit for Ponkichi, the Substitute Lantern item and the Monster Gasha.

The first limited event, Ghouligan’s Pranks Underway, will run from August 13 to August 30. A Halloween event is planned for October, with smaller additions and adjustments scheduled between the major events.
