10-Year Gamemode History
Below is a list of updates with important gamemode changes. These are sorted into categories:
- New - when a gamemode is first added.
- Addition - when new content is added to an existing gamemode (e.g. new Story Mode chapters, new World Bosses).
- Reworked - when existing content in an existing gamemode is changed significantly.
- Removed - when an existing gamemode is removed entirely.
This does not include minor QoL changes, and some of the earlier updates may be fuzzy as the patch notes for those updates are no longer available for some reason. It is probably most useful if you have a gamemode in mind and search in this page to see how it has changed over time.
