Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator's Global Server to Shut Down
Sad news for global players of Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator. Koei Tecmo and Akatsuki Games have announced the End of Service (EOS) for the game's global version, effective March 28th, 2025. This comes just over a year after its January 2024 launch, highlighting the game's struggles to gain traction in the global market. The Japanese version, launched in September 2023, remains operational and is even preparing for its 1.5th-anniversary celebration in March 2025 – a stark contrast to the global server's closure.
The EOS Date and Final Days
The global server will officially shut down on March 28th, 2025, coinciding ironically with the Japanese server's anniversary. In-game purchases are already disabled, but players can still utilize any remaining Lodestar Gems. Koei Tecmo promises continued content and events leading up to the shutdown. This announcement follows closely after the game's first anniversary on January 25th, 2025.
Reasons for the Shutdown
The developers cited an inability to maintain a satisfactory standard for players as the primary reason for the EOS. The game faced criticism almost immediately after launch, with players voicing concerns about the gacha system, gameplay mechanics, and aggressive monetization strategies. These issues, combined with perceived power creep, ultimately contributed to the game's underperformance and the decision to shut down the global server.
Players wishing to experience the game one last time can find it on the Google Play Store. For those seeking a new mobile gaming experience, consider checking out the current Sky: Children of the Light Lunar New Year event.
