Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator's Global Server to Shut Down

Another mobile game is closing its doors. Koei Tecmo and Akatsuki Games have announced the end of service (EOS) for the global version of their RPG, Atelier Resleriana. This comes just over a year after its January 2024 global launch, indicating underperformance in the international market. The Japanese version, launched in September 2023, remains operational and is even preparing for its 1.5-year anniversary in March 2025.

Atelier Resleriana Global Server Shutdown Date:

The global server will shut down on March 28th, 2025—ironically, the same month the Japanese version celebrates its 1.5th anniversary. Global players will conclude their journey at Chapter 21 (Part 1), while Japanese players will be progressing through Chapter 22 (Part 2).

In-game purchases are already disabled, but players can still utilize any remaining Lodestar Gems until the shutdown. Koei Tecmo promises additional content and events leading up to the closure.

Reasons for the Shutdown:

The developers cited an inability to maintain a satisfactory player experience as the reason for the shutdown. The game struggled to gain traction, with player complaints surfacing about the gacha system, gameplay mechanics, and aggressive monetization strategies, including significant power creep, just a couple of months after launch. These factors ultimately contributed to the decision to end the global service.

Players wishing to experience the game one last time can find it on the Google Play Store. Alternatively, consider checking out the current Sky: Children of the Light Lunar New Year event.
