Evaluation
Cardfight!! Vanguard Dear Days 2 launched on January 29, 2025 and has maintained a consistent pattern of paid card content expansions throughout its first year. Major content drops have arrived on April 17, 2025 (Card Unlock Vol.1 for DZ-BT04), June 26, 2025 (Card Unlock Vol.2 for DZ-BT05 plus Vintage Card Unlock Vol.1), October 16, 2025 (Card Unlock Vol.5 for DZ-BT06 alongside Additional Card Unlock Pass 2), and December 4, 2025 (DZ-BT07 card set content). This establishes a clear release cadence of approximately every 2–3 months for new card set unlocks.
The most recent developer communication was the Ver. 1.4.1 patch and DLC announcement on October 24, 2025 (NEWS-1), less than a year ago as of today, October 1, 2026. Given that the last major content wave shipped in December 2025, we are now approximately 10 months past that point — somewhat outside the typical 2–3 month cadence. However, two DLC items in the store (DLC-27 and DLC-30) are marked as Released but carry no release date, which may indicate very recently processed or staged content. No developer statement has indicated the end of content support.
The game is directly tied to the ongoing physical Cardfight!! Vanguard card game, which continues to release new physical sets under the DivineZ series. The pattern of digital card unlocks tracking physical set releases strongly suggests the content cycle will continue. No developer statement has announced the conclusion of content support for this title.
Evidence
Complete Playset 15 for DZ-BT07 released on December 4, 2025, representing the most recent dated major content drop.
Developer announced Card Unlock Vol.5 (DZ-BT06), Complete Playset 14 (DZ-BT06), and Additional Card Unlock Pass 2 went on sale October 16, 2025, alongside Ver. 1.4.1 update. Most recent developer communication.
