Koei Tecmo and Gust have announced that they will shut down the global English and Chinese versions of the mobile game Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator on March 28, 2025. Only the original Japanese release will remain intact after this date.
This end-of-service announcement could not have come at a more coincidental time, as Koei Tecmo and Gust broke the news just as they were in the middle of celebrations for the global server’s January 25, 2024. On the contrary, the official X for the original Japanese release is still actively announcing new gacha banners without any signs of server closure in the immediate future.
Even though Gust has already specified the global server’s shutdown date, the studio confirmed that it will still add more content until that day. To add even more to the abrupt closure, the last main story chapter slated to appear in March 2025 will be Chapter 21 (Part 1).
As a comparison, Gust just added September 23, 2023—in March 2025. That will be the same month it closes the global server, which will only last for a year and two months in total.
The global version of Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator is available in English and Chinese on iOS and Android mobile devices, as well as on PC via Steam, until March 28, 2025. The original Japanese version is still actively ongoing for the foreseeable future.
