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 version's 1.5-year 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 any remaining Lodestar Gems until the shutdown. Koei Tecmo promises continued content and events leading up to the closure.
Reasons for the Closure
The developers cited an inability to maintain a satisfactory player experience as the reason for the global server's shutdown. The game struggled to gain traction, with player complaints surfacing about the gacha system, gameplay mechanics, monetization strategies, and excessive power creep just months after launch. These factors ultimately led to the decision to end service.
Global players can still access the game on the Google Play Store to experience remaining content and bid farewell.
