Japan: Ver. 1.1 went live after maintenance on July 10
The Japanese official notice scheduled maintenance for July 10, 2025, from 11:00 to 18:00 JST and said Ver. 1.1 would be applied after maintenance. The notice was updated at 17:30 JST to report that maintenance had ended and service had resumed. That establishes when the Japanese service was reported open again, not a more precise instant when the update became available to every player.

Japanese official maintenance notice
Southeast Asia: July 18, 2025, after maintenance
The Southeast Asia official notice gives the update timing as “After the maintenance on Jul 18, 2025 (UTC+8).” It does not state the maintenance window or the time it finished, so there is no exact clock time to give for this region.
Southeast Asia official Ver. 1.1 notice
Why the answer depends on your service region
