Version 1.0.1_1.0, released on September 24th 2019, was the first public release and initial launch of Kemono Friends 3. The first two regions of Story Mode were available to play, as well as all the unlockable content accessed by completing missions within those areas; only the mode "Arai-san's Diary" was unavailable to play (due to being unlocked in chapter 3). 5 total gacha pools were made available from the start: The following event challenges were also available, lasting until 9/30:
 * A special release-day gacha (リリース記念限定しょうたい), lasting until October 4th. Pulls from all 4★, 3★ and 2★ Friends in the game at release except for Crested Ibis and Bald Eagle. Performing a 10-pull from this banner awards a special ticket, which was used for the two banners immediately below. A 10-pull also guaranteed at least one Friend, and either a 3★ Friend or photo. In a normal single pull, 4★ Friends were 0.125% each at 1% overall. 3★ Friends were 0.571% each at 4% overall. 2★ Friends were 2.083% at 25% overall. 4★ photos were 0.666% each at 4% overall. 3★ photos were 0.857% each at 12% overall. 2★ photos were 2.347% at 54% overall.
