- Replay Data: Corrected a glitch where replay data from previous patch versions would corrupt your save file.
Story Mode Fixes (History Mode & Special Story Mode)
- Chapter 4 Progression Bug: Fixed an issue where players would get stuck on a black screen after the “Sasuke vs. Itachi (Edo Tensei)” battle.
- Missing Rewards: Players who completed the “Boruto: Parent-Child Day” arc but did not receive the “Naruto (Casual Outfit)” costume will now have it auto-delivered to the Present Box.
- Dialogue Triggers: Corrected several instances of subtitles desyncing from Japanese voice lines in the “Special Story Mode” (the original Boruto arc).
