Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator, a promising addition to the iconic Atelier series, is shutting down after barely a year of global service. Following its global release on January 25, 2024, the game captured fans’ attention with its engaging mechanics and beloved characters. However, the official closure announcement has left fans reeling, especially given the game’s short lifespan of only 14 months.
Key Milestones and Announcement Details
The global version launched in January 2024, mere months after the Japanese debut in September 2023. Yet, despite initial excitement, Atelier Resleriana’s global journey will come to an end on March 28, 2025. According to the developer’s statement, in-app purchases have already been disabled, although players can still access and enjoy remaining in-game events.
In their heartfelt message to the community, the developers expressed gratitude for players’ support while acknowledging the decision to end the service. They cited an inability to maintain satisfactory standards as a key factor in this difficult choice.
Limited Time Left for Players
If you’re still exploring Atelier Resleriana, now is the time to enjoy the final curated events before the servers go offline. The game is still downloadable on iOS, Android, and PC (Steam), but all services will cease in March.
What’s Next for the Atelier Series?
Although Atelier Resleriana’s closure is disheartening, there’s good news for fans of the franchise. Koei Tecmo has hinted at future projects, including Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian, set to release this year for PS5, PS4, Switch, and PC Steam. This upcoming title promises a fresh experience, offering a full console adaptation rather than a simple port.
