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

The global version of the mobile RPG, Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator, will cease operations on March 28th, 2025. This announcement comes from Koei Tecmo and Akatsuki Games, just over a year after the game's global launch in January 2024. The Japanese version, launched in September 2023, will continue operation. This creates a stark contrast, as the Japanese server will be celebrating its 1.5th anniversary in March 2025, the same month the global servers shut down.

End of Service (EOS) Date:

March 28th, 2025. Global players will conclude their journey at Chapter 21 (Part 1), while Japanese players progress through Chapter 22 (Part 2).

In-Game Purchases and Future Content:

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

Reasons for Closure:

The developers cited an inability to maintain a satisfactory player experience as the primary reason for the global server closure. The game struggled to gain traction, facing criticism almost immediately after launch. Player complaints centered around the gacha system, gameplay mechanics, monetization strategies, and excessive power creep. These factors ultimately contributed to the decision to end service.

Final Farewell:

Players wishing to experience the game one last time can find it on the Google Play Store. Alternatively, consider checking out other mobile games, such as the Lunar New Year 2025 event in Sky: Children of the Light.
