The official English written patch notes and exact maintenance schedule had not been published on the global news hub at the time of this preview. Banner dates below reflect multiple reports from the Version 1.4 Preview Special Program. NTE Build reports that Hotta has not published individual board dates and treats the October 21 phase switch as inferred, so the windows should be treated as projections until the official patch notes appear.
