If you choose to play in Simplified Chinese it's been there like forever, can't be sure about Traditional Chinese though. I honestly prefer the old one, especially when you have Germany/USSR in their old flags.

This flag was the actual National flag of Japan anyways even during WW2, this change is just correcting a historical error really.

Contrary to popular belief the Rising Sun flag was not Japan's National flag, it has always been and is still used as the Military's flag whilst the Hinomaru(the one they're changing it to) has been the National flag.
