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. The Japanese version, launched in September 2023, will continue operation.
The irony is striking: the global server's closure coincides with the Japanese server's upcoming 1.5th-anniversary celebration in March 2025. While Japanese players will be experiencing Chapter 22 (Part 2), global players will conclude their journey with Chapter 21 (Part 1).
In-game purchases are already disabled, but players can still utilize remaining Lodestar Gems until the shutdown. Koei Tecmo promises continued content and events leading up to the EOS date.
Reasons for Closure:
The developers cited an inability to maintain a satisfactory player experience as the reason for the closure. The game struggled to gain traction, with player complaints surfacing about the gacha system, gameplay, monetization, and excessive power creep shortly after launch. These factors ultimately contributed to the decision to end the global service.
For those wishing a final farewell, the game remains available on the Google Play Store. Meanwhile, another mobile game, Sky: Children of the Light, is currently hosting a Lunar New Year 2025 event.
