HoYoVerse announced what we can expect from the 2.0 update to Zenless Zone Zero and, in addition to the Xbox Series X version, new story, and new region, we each will get to choose a free S-Rank character and S-Rank W-Engine. There will also be activities that essentially give players enough currency and items for three ten-pulls on the gacha, as we can earn 1,600 Polychromes that could be put toward either the Star-Studded Cast Stable Channel banner or limited Signal Searches. Free costumes for Belle and Wise will also be available to earn as rewards in Zenless Zone Zero as well. Everything kicks off on June 6, 2025.

First, we actually get to pick which free S-Rank character and W-Engine we want in Zenless Zone Zero after 2.0 arrives. Here’s the list of all playable units we can choose from, as well as their factions, attributes, and specialties:

  • Grace - Belobog Heavy Industries - Electric - Anomaly
  • Koleda - Belobog Heavy Industries - Fire - Stun
  • Lycaon - Victoria Housekeeping - Ice - Stun
  • Nekomata - Cunning Hares - Physical - Attack
  • Rina - Victoria Housekeeping - Electric -
  • Soldier 11 - Obol Squad - Fire - Attack

As for the free S-Rank W-Engines, it looks like the image showed the ones associated with each of those six characters may be available to choose as your free one. Here’s the list of those possible options:

  • The Brimstone - Attack
  • Fusion Compiler - Anomaly
  • Hellfire Gears - Stun
  • The Restrained - Stun 
  • Steel Cushion - Attack
  • Weeping Cradle -

We also got to see and learn the names of the two Zenless Zone Zero costumes for Belle and Wise. Belle’s is called Delicate Sunlight. Wise’s is Soaring Crane. Both are based on attire seen by people in the new Waifei Peninsula, and they each have a white, yellow, and black color scheme.

Here is how the Zenless Zone Zero Belle and Wise costumes look, and there’s also a screen capture of the free S-Rank characters being given away.

New and returning characters appearing in 2.0 also came up, as the next Zenless Zone Zero Agents were confirmed. The three Yunkui Summit characters, as mentioned before, are Yixuan, Ju Fufu, and Pan Yinhu. Pan Yinhu is the only A-Rank one, as the others are S-Rank. Yixuan, returning character Astra Yao, and Pan Yinhu will be available at launch in 2.0, while Ju Fufu and returning Agent Caesar will appear in the second part of the update.  

The trailer for the new update can be watched below, and it focuses on the new story before showing off playable Agents.

Stellar Blade NIKKE DLC Trailer Shows Costumes and Gameplay doro dorothy

Shift Up showed exactly how some of the Stellar Blade Goddess of Victory: NIKKE costumes and the minigame based on the mobile game will look in a trailer for the crossover DLC. This also featured a peek at the Scarlet boss fight as well. There's also a Doro Dorothy cameo at the very end.

This video began with a look at the Stellar Blade minigame gameplay, as that involves shooting down foes in the same way someone would when playing NIKKE. As it starts, Shift Up quickly cycles through a few of the character costumes for Eve in the add-on. First, she’s dressed as Rapi. Then, she looks like Modernia. A quick peek at Anis’ attire comes after. Her Alice outfit appeared after that. She’s briefly dressed like Dorothy after that, before returning to her normal appearance.

From there, we see the cover-based shooting familiar from NIKKE. What honestly look like Rapture robots, in addition to Stellar Blade foes, descend on her location. We hide behind cover and emerge to shoot at them, and the UI suggests the Burst system from NIKKE may be present. 

After that we see some familiar faces. Volt the dog shows up and interacts with Eve. We then get a better look at her in the different NIKKE costumes in Stellar Blade. Eve meets Scarlet after that, and that leads into a peek at the boss fight between the two characters. Things close out with Eve encountering Doro Dorothy at about the 1:27 point.

Here’s the full trailer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90g5l0jyqr0&ab_channel=SHIFTUP%E2%99%A1OfficialChannel

Stellar Blade is available for the PS5 and comes to the PC via Steam on June 11, 2025, and the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE DLC debuts the same day and is a part of the complete edition of the game. NIKKE is available on PCs and mobile devices now.

fate/grand order arc 2

The final chapter of Arc 2 of Fate/Grand Order will appear for the Japanese server in Winter 2025. Lasengle will announce more detailed information on the exact date closer to the season.

Arc 2 encomes the Cosmos in the Lostbelt and Ordeal Call chapters, and started in December 2017. On the global server, it started in 2020. Cosmos in the Lostbelt focuses on the aftermath of defeating Goetia, in which seven of the original Chaldea Masters awaken from cryogenic sleep and work to revert the world to the Age of the Gods. Ordeal Call, which started in 2023, takes place after the destruction of the seventh Lostbelt. It focuses on the Extra Class Servants (Alter Ego, Avenger, Moon Cancer, Foreigner, and Ruler).

Aside from the Arc 2 story winding down, the Japanese server of Fate/Grand Order will also have Grand Duel battles. These battles will allow you to face off against powerful Servants from each class, as well as choose one Servant from the class in question to transform into a Grand Servant. Not only are Grand Servants stronger stat-wise, but you can also equip their Max Bond Craft Essence in a separate slot from the usual. Currently, you can choose a Saber to transform into a Grand Saber. The next Servant you'll be able to transform is Berserker, and the Grand Duel for that Class will start in June 2025.

Fate/Grand Order is readily available on mobile devices. The end of Arc 2 will only appear on the Japanese server for now. Meanwhile, the global server will see Ordeal Call starting some time this year.

Honkai: Star Rail Caelus Stelle English Trailblazer Voice Actors Changed

HoYoVerse confirmed in the official patch notes for the 3.3 Honkai: Star Rail update that it changed the English Trailblazer voice actors for Caelus and Stelle. It did not reveal the new performers behind either character. Previously, Caleb Yen played the male option and Rachael Chau voiced the female one. 

The official patch notes for 3.3 noted the Trailblazer English voice actors change in the section discussing changes to Honkai: Star Rail audio. It noted that for now, the snippets that come up when using the Remembrance version of the character in battle or going through the Trailblaze Mission story quests in 3.3 will sound different. It then confirmed that future updates will change the lines for other paths and quests. HoYoVerse offered no explanation in the update and didn’t announce who the new actors are.

This change for the Caelus and Stelle English voice actors isn’t the first time Honkai: Star Rail performers ended up being changed or just disappearing. Starting in 2024, we began to see alterations. In the case of Dan Heng and Himeko, voiced lines for both stopped appearing. So while others would speak during story segments, there would be silence if someone used the English language option. All of this started happening after the SAG-AFTRA strike started in July 2024, with performers striking about concerns regarding AI being used to train or replicate people’s performances. 

We’ve also seen English voice actors changed with little or no notice like this for other HoYoVerse games as the strike continued. Most recently, it also occurred in Zenless Zone Zero. Lycaon ended up being replaced in 1.6. There’s a new English performer for Soldier 11 as well.

Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the 3.3 update is now live for the game worldwide.

FFXIV Mobile Releases on June 2025 in China

The Final Fantasy XIV Mobile version is set to release in China in June 2025, offering a different take on the FFXIV experience. At the time of writing, Square Enix has yet to reveal when the global version of the MMORPG will release. [Thanks, GameSpark!]

An announcement video revealing the game’s release window appeared on the Chinese video site Bilibili on May 19, 2025. FFXIV Mobile will be an Android and iOS version of the popular MMORPG developed in collaboration with Tencent’s LightSpeed Studios, and Square Enix announced the new mobile adaptation on November 2024.

FFXIV Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida said of FFXIV Mobile that it will be a companion piece to FFXIV, aiming to recreate the original’s story and combat in a mobile format. On its original announcement, it was revealed that the game will include the content found on A Realm Reborn on launch, including the original nine jobs and five races found on the 2.0 release. As a reminder, a trailer for the game showcasing the mobile UI and the playable jobs appeared on December 2024.

2.0 Zenless Zone Zero Special Program Stream Airs This Week 4y5k14 https://siliconera.voiranime.info/2-0-zenless-zone-zero-special-program-stream-airs-this-week/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=2-0-zenless-zone-zero-special-program-stream-airs-this-week https://siliconera.voiranime.info/2-0-zenless-zone-zero-special-program-stream-airs-this-week/#respond <![CDATA[Jenni Lada]]> Mon, 19 May 2025 16:00:00 +0000 <![CDATA[Android]]> <![CDATA[iOS]]> <![CDATA[News]]> <![CDATA[PC]]> <![CDATA[PlayStation 5]]> <![CDATA[Xbox Series X]]> <![CDATA[Asia]]> <![CDATA[Europe]]> <![CDATA[HoYoVerse]]> <![CDATA[Japan]]> <![CDATA[North America]]> <![CDATA[Zenless Zone Zero]]> https://siliconera.voiranime.info/?p=1093202 <![CDATA[

2.0 Zenless Zone Zero Special Program Stream Airs This Week

The 2.0 Zenless Zone Zero special program stream time and date is set, and we don’t need to wait long to learn about the latest update. It happens at 3:30am ET/6:30am ET/12:30pm CET, the usual time, on May 23, 2025. We can likely expect a lot more news than usual, due to this being a full 2.0 release and marking the launch of the Xbox Series X version of the game. Also, there will be a free Polychrome code again. We can watch on Twitch and YouTube.

As part of the 2.0 reveal, a whole new faction and region will appear in Zenless Zone Zero. The place is called the Waifei Peninsula, and the first characters in the update will all be from the Yunkui Summit Faction. When we’re visiting in Waifei Peninsula, we don’t run and stay in a Random Play video store branch. Instead, we work at Subian Temple. Yixuan is an S-rank unit who seems like she may act as head of the group. The other two are Ju Fufu and Pan Yinhu. There will also be a new system for our daily quests and rewards. 

Another big change will involve Belle and Wise in Zenless Zone Zero. In the 1.0 series of patches and story, as well as area, we only see them enter the Hollows via the Hollow Deep Dive System and their unique Bangboo. In 2.0, they’ll be able to enter the Hollows themselves. We'll have to wait for the showcase to see how that works.

Zenless Zone Zero is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and it will come to the Xbox Series X alongside the 2.0 update on it seems like June 6, 2025. This is due to Hugo’s banner ending on June 5, 2025, which tends to be the hint for when the next one and update starts. The Zenless Zone Zero Special Program stream for 2.0 airs at 3:30am ET/6:30am ET/12:30pm CET on May 23, 2025.

Scarlet Will Be a Stellar Blade Goddess of Victory 3n6n3f NIKKE DLC Boss https://siliconera.voiranime.info/scarlet-will-be-a-boss-stellar-blade-goddess-of-victory-nikke-dlc/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=scarlet-will-be-a-boss-stellar-blade-goddess-of-victory-nikke-dlc https://siliconera.voiranime.info/scarlet-will-be-a-boss-stellar-blade-goddess-of-victory-nikke-dlc/#respond <![CDATA[Jenni Lada]]> Mon, 19 May 2025 12:00:00 +0000 <![CDATA[Android]]> <![CDATA[iOS]]> <![CDATA[News]]> <![CDATA[PC]]> <![CDATA[PlayStation 5]]> <![CDATA[Asia]]> <![CDATA[Europe]]> <![CDATA[Goddess of Victory: Nikke]]> <![CDATA[Japan]]> <![CDATA[North America]]> <![CDATA[Shift Up]]> <![CDATA[Stellar Blade]]> https://siliconera.voiranime.info/?p=1093188 <![CDATA[

Scarlet Will Be a Boss Stellar Blade Goddess of Victory: NIKKE DLC

Sony updated the page for the Stellar Blade DLC on the PlayStation website, and it goes over some of the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE character costumes and a Scarlet fight. It also noted there will be a specific shop, fishing for NIKKE items, and a shooting range minigame.

In the case of Scarlet, the NIKKE character will be a boss. It noted on the site that you get a costume, hairstyle, and song for beating her. While it didn’t specify what these might be, in a past trailer we did see a tease that suggested Eve can dress as Scarlet, so perhaps someone would need to defeat the boss to earn that attire.

As for the shop, it will sell costumes and cosmetics in-game. A NIKKE character will run it. Those familiar with Liter will recognize her dog Volt, which will appear as the vendor there.

The March 2025 Stellar Blade Goddess of Victory: NIKKE DLC didn’t show the Scarlet boss fight, but it did tease outfits based on characters from Shift Up’s other game for Eve. For example, at the start of the video there’s a Rapi outfit. (Not her Red Hood variant.) Alice, Anis, Dorothy, and Modernia outfits seem to be in the crossover add-on too.

Here’s that trailer, as a reminder:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ8WwgX9vAI&ab_channel=SHIFTUP%E2%99%A1OfficialChannel

Stellar Blade is available for the PS5 and comes to the PC via Steam on June 11, 2025, and the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE DLC debuts in June 2025 too and is a part of the complete edition of the game alongside the NieR: Automata add-on. NIKKE is available on PCs and mobile devices now.

Genshin Impact Charlotte Tilbury Items Are Best When Mona Is Referenced w532a https://siliconera.voiranime.info/genshin-impact-charlotte-tilbury-items-are-best-when-mona-is-referenced/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=genshin-impact-charlotte-tilbury-items-are-best-when-mona-is-referenced https://siliconera.voiranime.info/genshin-impact-charlotte-tilbury-items-are-best-when-mona-is-referenced/#respond <![CDATA[Jenni Lada]]> Sun, 18 May 2025 19:00:00 +0000 <![CDATA[Android]]> <![CDATA[iOS]]> <![CDATA[PC]]> <![CDATA[PlayStation 4]]> <![CDATA[PlayStation 5]]> <![CDATA[Xbox Series X]]> <![CDATA[Charlotte Tilbury]]> <![CDATA[Europe]]> <![CDATA[Genshin Impact]]> <![CDATA[Japan]]> <![CDATA[Merchandise]]> <![CDATA[North America]]> <![CDATA[Playtests]]> https://siliconera.voiranime.info/?p=1092072 <![CDATA[

Genshin Impact Charlotte Tilbury Items Are Best When Mona Is Referenced

While Mona isn’t one of the most important characters in Genshin Impact, we’ve seen quite a few items tied to her. She ended up being the first figma based on the game, and one of the first scale figures ended up being of her too. Now she’s the character in the spotlight for the Genshin Impact Charlotte Tilbury collection, and it seems quite appropriate given the types of elixirs and magic creams included in the Starry Miracle Adventure Box and Starfell Treasure Kit. From what I’ve seen and experienced though, the items really are best when tied to the character.

First, all the Charlotte Tilbury items in the Genshin Impact box are pretty great. I got the most use out of the Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir, which makes your lips shine while also hydrating and softening them. I also ended up being impressed with the Magic Cream moisturizer, as I have some skin sensitivities and it didn’t irritate or cause my skin to get flushed after using it. These two bundles tend to be a way to sample those products while also getting accessories related to the game, so it’s a way to test things out. However, it ended up being the other accessories that I liked best.

Mona has a fantastic aesthetic in Genshin Impact. Even though she isn’t one of my Hydro mains, as those roles fall to Neuvillette and Kokomi, I like her design a bunch. (Especially her original design.) My two favorite items in this Charlotte Tilbury Genshin Impact promotion are the ones that more subtly reference her and the game. Her outfit, both before and after the adjustments, included an accent on her hat that features a golden moon encircling a gold circle with red accents and a star design in the center. The pin included in the Starry Miracle box is an exact replica. I found it a bit big to include in my ita bag, so I’m not sure how I’ll display it yet, but it’s a gorgeous, well-made piece. 

The other fun item is a replica of her mirror in the Starfell Treasure Kit. The outside design is an exact replica of the one she used to scry in the Unreconciled Stars event quests. It’s such a fun callback to a moment in the game that pretty much changed everything about the nature of Teyvat. (Not to mention, we ended up introduced to Scaramouche, aka Hat Guy, via it.) It’s also a really handy mirror with a standard reflection on one side and magnified on the other, which makes it practical.

As for the other items in both Genshin Impact Charlotte Tilbury sets, they’re fine. The eye mask, headband, drawstring pouch, and zippered makeup bag are all totally fine and work well. The one from the Starry Miracle Box especially is handy for carrying items, thanks to dividers that help with organization. The tote bag with the logos from the collaboration on one side and Mona on the other is also sturdy and good for books or a few groceries. I just wish the logos were a bit smaller and more subtle. I get that it is important to note what it is, and to include the “Makeup your destiny” branding for it all. But the astrological designs tied to Mona are such an appealing pattern that are recognizable without screaming out, “This is a Genshin Impact bag!” So I’d have appreciated if the same subtlety and nuance shown with the mirror, pin, and even tote bag applied to the other items. Like in the case of the eye mask, I’d have put the logo names across the band or on the inside of the mask if possible, so you have that gorgeous print that resembles the pin untouched. 

In general, there’s a good balance among items in the Genshin Impact Charlotte Tilbury sets. For people who want merchandise directly based on the series, perhaps even for cosplay purposes, there’s the pin and the mirror. Those of us who would actually use the cosmetics and creams get an array of sizes of different Charlotte Tilbury products to test and see what we might like. The accessories like the bags, headband, and eye mask are handy in a practical sense. I just wish everything employed the same sense of subtlety as some of the other items, so the designs were the main focus instead of the logos for both the brand and game.

The Genshin Impact Charlotte Tilbury bundles are available now. The game is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices.

New Umamusume Horse Girl Introductions Include Daiwa Scarlet, Maruzensky

Ahead of the Umamusume: Pretty Derby English debut in June 2025, Cygames started sharing trailers for some of the horse girl characters we’ll see at launch, and there are now six more to watch. Some of these include units who are established as being some of the stronger ones to back in the game, such as Daiwa Scarlet, Maruzensky, Taiki Shuttle, and Vodka. 

The first video in this latest patch going over Umamusume characters is Daiwa Scarlet. She’s known for being part of Team Spica alongside Special Week, Silence Suzuka, and Vodka. (However, she also doesn’t get along with Vodka due to clashing personalities and sense of styles.) 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elRaDn1reCw&ab_channel=Umamusume%3APrettyDerby

Sure enough, the Vodka trailer came up after that. She’s a bit more laid back, but also doesn’t get along with Daiwa Scarlet.  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeaxXgINND8&ab_channel=Umamusume%3APrettyDerby

The horse girl to be introduced after Vodka was Maruzensky, who is on Team Rigil with El Condor , Narita Brian, and Taiki Shuttle in Umamusume. She’s one of the more formal and mature characters.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKJTXYWqxtM&ab_channel=Umamusume%3APrettyDerby

Agnes Tachyon showed up after that, and she’s a more scientific and intelligent type of character. She’s not associated with any particular team. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB7Okpip5i8&ab_channel=Umamusume%3APrettyDerby

Meanwhile, Taiki Shuttle first appeared earlier this week. She’s one of the few characters to use some English words in her introductory video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6IMfmxjnNg&ab_channel=Umamusume%3APrettyDerby

Finally, Cygames closed out the week by sharing an Umamusume trailer for the horse girl Sakura Bakushin 0. Like Agnes, she isn’t associated with some of the established teams. However, she’s pretty well known due to being a Tracen Academy class representative.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQbT0Q1nxvE&ab_channel=Umamusume%3APrettyDerby

The Umamusume: Pretty Derby English release date is June 26, 2025, and we’ll be able to pre for the global version of the game on the PC via Steam and Android and iOS mobile devices on April 28, 2025. It is already available in Asia. The new Umamusume: Cinderella Gray anime is on Amazon, and other anime adaptations are on Crunchyroll.

New Sanrio Mobile Game Is Hello Kitty Friends Match

Line Games just released a new Sanrio mobile game called Hello Kitty Friends Match on Google Play and the App Store. As the title suggests, it is a free-to-play, match-3 game. In addition to major characters like Hello Kitty, Pompompurin, and Cinnamoroll showing up in the initial images, it also seems like some of the less visible characters like Corocorokuririn the hamster will also appear in it.

The idea in Hello Kitty Friends Match is that the Sanrio characters find themselves in Dreamland. However, it isn’t what it used to be, and a village they come to is completely dark and decimated. Players can then go through match-3 puzzles to help restore it. As they do, they can also get different types of costumes to dress up characters. 

Here’s the first trailer for the game that helps to set up the experience. The initial image shows that in addition to Hello Kitty, Pompompurin, Cinnamoroll, and Corocorokuririn, we will also see Badtz Maru, My Melody, Kuromi, Pochacco, Keroppi, and Tuxedosam. Only these ten characters are confirmed at launch, and it’s unknown if or how many more could appear.

There is a launch promotion going on. One of the most notable releases as part of it is a Cupid costume players can put on Hello Kitty. There are supposedly around 100 outfits at launch to earn.

Hello Kitty Friends Match is available on mobile devices. The other major Sanrio game out now is Hello Kitty Island Adventure, which is on the Switch, PC, and mobile devices with new ports headed to the PS4 and PS5 in 2025.

World of Warships - Azur Lane crossover content wave 7

Wargaming has revealed that it will add even more Azur Lane crossover content to World of Warships. This will be the seventh time the company has added crossover content from the closely related game. It has regularly made crossovers almost every year, starting from 2018, with the preceding sixth wave having appeared in 2024.

The new Wave 7 will add the following shipgirls as commanders, whom players can assign to any playable ship:

  1. KMS Hindenburg
  2. USS Kearsarge
  3. RN Gorizia
  4. KMS iral Graf Spee
  5. KMS Scharnhorst

In addition, Wargaming will add new ships based on the Azur Lane versions of KMS Hindenburg, USS Kearsarge, and RN Gorizia—as well as KMS Bismarck, whose character had appeared earlier in Wave 4.

As a side note, Hindenburg and Kearsarge are getting double-imported back to World of Warships. Manjuu and Yongshi had previously created Azur Lane shipgirl versions of the original ships Wargaming created for World of Warships. The first character to be double-imported was HMS Neptune in Wave 2.

Wargaming has also published a trailer showing the new content on YouTube:

https://youtu.be/nDX1uPh_3Ro

In the same press release, Wargaming also revealed the new Azur Lane content coming to the console and mobile releases of World of Warships: Legends. People who play the latter version will be able to get unique ships based on the Azur Lane versions of BB-45 USS Colorado, RN Zara, KMS Scharnhorst, and KMS iral Graf Spee.

The original World of Warships is available for PC. World of Warships: Legends is available separately on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, iOS, and Android.

Aerith Gets a Bamboo Sword in FFVII Ever Crisis Academy Seven

The latest FFVII Ever Crisis banner for the Ever Crisis Academy event that turns characters into high school students and teachers is live, and it involves Aerith getting a Bamboo Sword weapon and Seventh High Team Cetra Uniform gear costume. Both are five-star pieces of equipment. It is now live in-game until May 28, 2025, and once again the Glenn Ogrekiller Ultimate Weapon remains the other focus option on it.

The Seventh High Team Cetra Uniform costume for Aerith not only gives her a customized school uniform with long skirt, but involves her dying the ends of her brown hair pink, getting a flower tattoo on her chest, and wearing a black mask with white fang pattern design for her face. Its R Abilities are Boost HP, which boosts her health, and Team Leader’s Mask that increases Water Ability Damage by 30% and boosts her Magic Ability Damage by 20% if her Attack Stance Command Gauge is maxed out.

With the Team Leader’s Bamboo Sword, it gives Aerith the Water Orb Blast C Ability in FFVII Ever Crisis. That deals 330% Mag Water Damage to all enemies and, if her health is over 50%, increases Water Damage dealt. 

Here’s the official image Square Enix shared with us showing the weapon and costume:

As a reminder, Aerith is also a boss in the FFVII Ever Crisis Academy Seven event. We fight both her and Barret “Mr. B” Wallace during that storyline. 

While the Aerith, Barret, and Tifa weapons are locked behind banners, some from this event can be earned. These are ones for Glenn and Sephiroth.

Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is available for the PC and mobile devices, and the FFVII Ever Crisis Academy Seven high school AU event and banners will run until May 28, 2025.

Tribe Nine Game Will Shut Down After 8 Months 5hh56 https://siliconera.voiranime.info/tribe-nine-game-will-shut-down-after-8-months/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tribe-nine-game-will-shut-down-after-8-months https://siliconera.voiranime.info/tribe-nine-game-will-shut-down-after-8-months/#respond <![CDATA[Jenni Lada]]> Thu, 15 May 2025 21:00:00 +0000 <![CDATA[Android]]> <![CDATA[iOS]]> <![CDATA[News]]> <![CDATA[PC]]> <![CDATA[Akatsuki Games]]> <![CDATA[Europe]]> <![CDATA[Japan]]> <![CDATA[North America]]> <![CDATA[Tribe Nine]]> https://siliconera.voiranime.info/?p=1092315 <![CDATA[

Tribe Nine Game Will Shut Down After 8 Months

Akatsuki announced that the Tribe Nine game, which it launched on February 18, 2025, will shut down on November 27, 2025. This means we got about eight months to play. It is no longer selling paid Daily es and Enigma Entities, and it will issue refunds for Paid Engima Entitis for Contract - Revenio, Advanced , and Armed will happen after that Contract ends in-game. The developer and publisher also noted it will share a final schedule eventually on the game’s official site.

The end of service notice did offer some details about the future of Tribe Nine over the next six months. While the gacha rates did improve since launch, there will be no other fixes or updates. None of the promised additions, features, or changes will appear. This means Ichinosuke Akiba and Saizo Akiba won’t be playable. The story will remain unfinished and will end at chapter three, as the fourth won’t be released. 

Kazutaka Kodaka also commented on Tribe Nine being shut down, as he and TooKyo Games was involved in the project’s creation and he helped with its early development. He clarified that he worked on worldbuilding and apologized for how things turned out.

The Tribe Nine game will be available on PCs via Steam and mobile devices until November 27, 2025, and the anime series is streaming on Crunchyroll
