Revue Starlight Re LIVE is officially shutting down. The mobile game, based on the popular anime, will cease operation on September 30th, 2024, at 07:00 UTC, ending nearly six years of service.
Reasons for the Shutdown:
The game's closure isn't entirely unexpected. Over its lifespan, Revue Starlight Re LIVE struggled with player retention, marked by repetitive events, reused assets, and expensive battle passes. Storyline inconsistencies, such as the abrupt character shift from The Giraffe, further contributed to its decline. The shutdown affects the game globally, including Japan.
Positive Aspects:
Despite its shortcomings, the game boasted a positive soundtrack featuring music from the anime, along with impressive 3D graphics and Live2D animations.
A Final Farewell:
Although the game's lifespan is nearing its end, players still have a few weeks to enjoy remaining content. Developers are launching several farewell events in August and September, including a "Thank You For Everything" campaign offering ten free daily pulls and a two-month birthday celebration with new gacha events. Download the game from the Google Play Store to experience these final events before the servers close.
