"Phase 2" of KanColle also known as the "HTML5 Era of KanColle" was launched on the 17th of August 2018. This phase comes after "Phase 1", following the migration of the game systems from Flash to HTML5. The reason the transfer came is due to the fact that it was announced that Flash would be discontinued by 2020. In turn, KanColle made an announcement at the 4th KanColle Naval Review that they would be transferring to HTML 5 by April 2018.

All players' data (ships, equipment, items...) has been kept after this transfer, so players can continue to play KanColle after the HTML5 transfer. Right before the migration, the opportunity to move Server has also been offered to all players.

Since the migration, the game engine has been slightly improved, now running at 1080p & 60fps instead of 720p & 30fps. Some new loading screens have also been added before the game's start menu.

  • In the following years, many UI tweaks have also been implemented, gradually improving the general ergonomics of the game.

Changes since January 2018

This is an incomplete list and is only covering the most important changes a returning player might need to made aware of. Up to date as of the 30th of April 2023.
