Revue Starlight Re:LIVE's End of Service (EOS) is Imminent
The curtain is falling on Revue Starlight Re:LIVE. Konami has officially announced the game's servers will shut down on September 30th, 2024, at 07:00 UTC. This marks the end of nearly six years for the mobile title based on the popular anime.
Reasons Behind the Closure
While not entirely unexpected, the EOS announcement isn't surprising. Revue Starlight Re:LIVE faced challenges over its lifespan. Factors contributing to its closure include:
- Lackluster Performance: The game struggled to maintain a strong player base.
- Repetitive Content: Players experienced repetitive events and reused assets.
- Costly Battle Passes: The game featured numerous expensive battle passes.
- Unpopular Story Arcs: Narrative choices, such as the shift from The Giraffe storyline, alienated some players.
The shutdown affects the global player base, including Japan.
Positive Aspects of the Game
Despite its shortcomings, Revue Starlight Re:LIVE had some redeeming qualities:
- Exceptional Soundtrack: The game boasted a fantastic soundtrack featuring music from the anime.
- Stunning Visuals: High-quality 3D graphics and Live2D animations enhanced the gameplay experience.
A Final Farewell
Although the game's time is limited, there's still time to experience Revue Starlight Re:LIVE before its EOS. August and September will feature several farewell events, including:
- "Thank You For Everything" Campaign: Players can receive 10 free pulls daily.
- Two-Month Birthday Celebration: Expect special events and content throughout August and September.
- "New Stage Girl Gacha" Events: Two separate gacha events will launch at the start of each month.
