January 9th 2026 Update

With today's mid-event Maintenance Update Konami have made some adjustments to features in Duel Links. Here's a quick rundown of everything that's new - and of course let us know your thoughts on these in the comments below!

• The Maximum number of additional Chronicle Card slot items you can purchase has been increased from 3 to 7. Each purchase gives you 10 extras slots, meaning an additional 40 Chronicle Card slots can be obtained.
• New players can now automatically unlock Duel Worlds using the "World" button, instead of completing specific missions.
• Auto Duel has been added to the Gate for non-event Legendary Duelists and Alt. Styles - however you can only perform a maximum of 10 Auto Duels per day.
• The Card Trader appears to now reset every 2 hours, instead of 8.
