DNA Brief

Signal Summary

This is the platform fighter’s first update since June last year. Replays from Versions 9.0.0 through 13.0.4 may have compatibility issues after the update, while replays from Version 8.1.0 and earlier are incompatible. Players can convert replay data to videos before installing the update.

Why It Matters

The patch affects both online-battle behavior and access to existing replay data. Players who want to preserve older matches should convert their replays before installing Version 13.0.5, since some replay files may no longer work afterward.
