Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Update 1.0.2 Patch Notes
Fixed issues
Fixed an issue where, after player builds up their island, the game sometimes will not be able to progress.
Fixed an issue where if you change to an exterior of a house you made at the Palette House, the game sometimes will not be able to progress.
Fixed an issue where, after a Mii character confesses successfully and the player tries to save, it is displayed that “your save data is corrupted,” and the player is not able to save.
Fixed an issue where, after multiple Mii characters start to live together, and when the player saves, it is displayed that “data has been corrupted” and the player is not able to save.
Fixed an issue where, when a scene switches over, an error would rarely occur and the game would stop.
Fixed an issue where the player could store the wishing fountain using Island Builder, but would not be able to place it on the island again afterwards, and wishes could not be granted.
Fixed an issue where, after a Mii character failed to patch things up with another Mii character after fighting, its crush for a different Mii character would disappear.
Fixed an issue where a Mii character did not feel better even when its Sadness ran out.
Fixed an issue where the player could not send/receive things through local play.
Since the game was incorrectly using the image of the southern flying squirrel for the image of the treasure “sugar glider,” it was changed to the correct image.
Other issues were fixed to improve the gameplay experience.

Get the latest details from the game’s official website below, via Gematsu:
Characters
Campanella (voiced by Zach Aguilar in English, Kanae Itou in Japanese)
Age: ???
An enigmatic Enforcer of Ouroboros. He has the face of a teenage boy, but his true age is unknown.
Bestowed with the special designation of Enforcer No. 0, Campanella has been dispatched by the Society to simply observe the execution of Weissmann the Faceless’ grand plan.
An elusive figure, Campanella comes and goes in bursts of illusory flame, leaving only cryptic and mocking remarks in his wake.
Phantom Thief Bleublanc (voiced by Kirk Thornton in English, Kishou Taniyama in Japanese)
Age: 29
Enforcer No. X, the Phantom Thief.
Conducting nefarious schemes under the alias “Phantom Thief B,” Bleublanc has orchestrated chaos in cities throughout Zemuria. He has joined the Society in pursuit of his aesthetic philosophy: “Beauty is born from dignity—from outshining everyone.”
Bleublanc combines flamboyant theatrics with crafty techniques to bewilder and outmaneuver his foes.
Walter, the Direwolf (voiced by Keith Silverstein in English, Takahiro Yoshimizu in Japanese)
Age: 31
Enforcer No. VIII, known as the Direwolf.
Walter is a martial artist who has taken techniques from various martial arts schools across the continent to create his deadly “Murderer’s Fist,” perfectly honed to take human lives.
Fierce and cold-blooded, Walter shows no mercy in combat, even against women and children.
Like the bracer Zin, it seems he has ties to Taito, one of the three great Eastern martial arts schools…
Luciola, the Bewitching Bell (voiced by Natalie Van Sistine in English, Ryouka Yuzuki in Japanese)
Age: 27
Enforcer No. VI of Ouroboros. A beguiling woman clad in alluring garb, armed with a pair of folding fans.
Known as the “Bewitching Bell,” Luciola uses her signature bell to conjure illusions and wields her fans to perform attacks as elegant as they are lethal.
Unlike the other Enforcers, she seems to have a deeply personal reason for coming to Liberl…
Josette Capua (voiced by Risa Mei in English, Anna Nagase in Japanese)
Age: 16
The youngest of the Capua siblings and the only girl amongst the Sky Pirates, Josette is a skillful wielder of both arts and her orbal gun.
Though she has a fiery attitude on the surface, Josette is actually a responsible figure who handles all the sky pirate gang’s day-to-day needs. The other pirates, aside from her brothers, respectfully refer to her as “Miss.”
She and Estelle never see eye to eye, and their interactions inevitably devolve into childish bickering when their paths cross.
Kyle Capua (voiced by Kieran Regan in English, Atsushi Tamaru in Japanese)
Age: 23
The middle child of the Capua siblings and the pilot of their airship.
Kyle’s innate piloting talent lets him maneuver the mobile Bobcat with ease, and his keen intellect often makes him the crew’s primary strategist.
While he tries to respect Josette’s wishes, he seems to harbor misgivings deep down about his own younger sister risking her life as part of their pirate gang.
Don Capua (voiced by Harry Wood in English, Teruyuki Tanzawa in Japanese)
Age: 30
The eldest Capua sibling and big boss of their crew.
Though he was manipulated into committing malicious crimes during the events of 1st Chapter, Don’s true personality is that of a courageous, straightforward man devoted to his family and friends.
After he and his crew were imprisoned, they took advantage of the confusion in Liberl in the wake of the coup attempt, breaking out of jail and disappearing.
System
Brave Rush
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter introduces new, wide-range, high-damage Brave Rush attacks! Use two Brave Gauge points in Quick Battle to pair your active character with a party member and unleash a devastating combo strike!
The Brave Rush mechanic joins the lineup of normal attacks, jump attacks, dodges, and character-specific Crafts to further expand your tactical options in battle!
Enforcer Boost
An advanced version of Rage Boost that can only be used by the Enforcers of Ouroboros.
When activated, a character-specific animation plays and the appearance of the battlefield changes.
Since the boost state lasts longer than a standard Rage Boost, the battle difficulty increases dramatically!
About Rage Boost
Some powerful enemies and bosses can enter a Rage Boost state. While active, they gain unavoidable attacks, halved delay, and can even steal AT Bonuses. Since various other stats are also buffed, the tide of battle can be turned against you in an instant…!

Wright Flyer Studios and Visual Arts/Key have announced that the Persona 5 Royal collaboration event for mobile RPG Heaven Burns Red will begin on May 22. The event will feature “Operation Takanawa Mementos – Wake Your Heart –,” an original story that was written under full supervision of ATLUS.
The Heaven Burns Red x Persona 5 Royal collaboration event will be held in two parts, with the second part following up on June 5.Fans can expect playable characters Joker, Morgana, Makoto, and Kasumi, along with a Panther costume for Tsukasa Tojo. The collaboration will also feature a cover of Persona 5 Royal’s “Life will Change” by She is Legend.
Heaven Burns Red tells the story of humanity’s struggle against a mysterious life forms known as “the Phage”.

Their last hope is placed in Seraph, newly developed weapons that a group of girls may use to defeat the Phage in battle. Players control protagonist Ruka Kayamori as she leads a Seraph Corps squad into battle against the Phage.
In September 2023, Kadokawa published the Heaven Burns Red Comic Anthology, which features a cover illustration by P Goto and stories from Juri Misaki, Sakaki Yoshioka, and six other manga creators. A four-panel Heaven Burns Red manga was released as well.
Heaven Burns Red is available now for Android, iOS and PC. Persona 5 Royal is available now for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
Spike Chunsoft will release Danganronpa 2×2, the upcoming remake of Danganronpa 2×2: Goodbye Despair, alongside other games in 2026 and early 2027, according to Kadokawa’s consolidated earnings results for fiscal year ended March 2026. Specifically, Kadokawa mentioned the Danganronpa series, so there’s a slight possibility that there could be more after Danganronpa 2×2.
Village Vanguard previously teamed up with Spike Chunsoft to release new Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair merchandise. The Danganronpa 2 merchandise features illustrations by Kuroume, and international customers may purchase the merchandise via Buyee. All of the Danganronpa 2 characters can be scene wearing Village Vanguard aprons over their signature attire, and they’re being led by store manager Nagito Komaeda. The characters are also holding accessories and other objects.
Kadokawa’s consolidated earnings results for fiscal year ended March 2026 reiterated that FromSoftware plans to release The Duskbloods and Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition in 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2. A release date for The Duskbloods and Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition were not revealed yet for Switch 2, but the consolidated earnings results did note that FromSoftware and Kadokawa will work to “expand the fan base globally” during the current fiscal year ending in March 2027. This means that 2026 will be a prime year for FromSoftware fans, so the drought of news pertaining to FromSoftware’s upcoming releases should be coming to an end soon.
The Duskbloods is a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive title that was initially presented with a rough outline to Nintendo as a barebones project by Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki. It’s a PvPvE game that focuses on online multiplayer, while retaining the key gameplay elements and features of Souls games that FromSoftware is known for.
The protagonists of The Duskbloods are known as Bloodsworn, a group whose members achieved extraordinary abilities through the use of special blood, similarly to vampires. The Bloodsworn are competing for something known as “First Blood,” and as human society reaches its end, First Blood flows in an event called the “Twilight of Humanity.” There’s no fixed era or location, but The Duskbloods features more traditional Gothic and Victorian-style maps, along with some depicting the end of the early modern era.
Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition will release in 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2. Originally, the Switch 2 version was planned to release in 2025, but it was delayed for additional development time in order to optimize the game’s performance. Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition will feature the base game and the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree expansion in one package. Moreover, the game will feature new armor and customization features for Torrent’s appearance.
Nekoko began the story of the light novel series in April 2021, and Brocco Lee launched the manga adaptation in February 2022.
Lastly, here’s an overview, via publisher Kodansha:
“You good-for-nothing bastard. You are the son of a Sword Saint, yet you dare pull such a defective Class!?”
During the Divine Blessing Ceremony of the 15-year-old Elma who came from a lineage of Sword Saints, he had manifested a commonly deemed defective class known as the Heavy Knight. He had been deprived of his position as the next head of the Edvan Household and was then exiled. The Heavy Knight class had an unbalanced status and useless skills, to top it off, it was even said to be a class cowardly and indolent people have.
But, Elma knew better—that this world was the world of the game he had used to play before—and that the Heavy Knight class was the strongest class to exist. Elma made full use of the knowledge he had in his previous life and began his efficient walkthrough of the world he was reincarnated into.
