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.

It will be easier to get better characters in Tribe Nine, as the free-to-play PC and mobile game gacha rates for the Event and Standard Synchro banners will change. Akatsuki Games also announced it would be returning used Enigma Entities and Synchro Medals, with any used before maintenance on March 3, 2025 being returned after maintenance ends on that day. 

Akatsuki went into some specifics about the refund and rate changes on social media. Contract and Contract Enigma Entities will not be sent back. However, paid and free Enigma Entities and Synchro Medals will be returned via an in-game mail once the next maintenance is performed next week. 

As for the Tribe Nine characters gacha banner rate changes, they increase for three-stars and two-stars and decrease for one-stars. Here’s the exact list of all changes from the announcement:

• One-Star Character: 94.3% rate will decrease to 90%
• Two-Star Character: 5.1% rate will increase to 8% (Pickup Target : 1.7% → 6%, non-Pickup Target: 3.4% → 2%)
• Three-Star Character: 0.6% rate will increase to 2% (Pickup Target: 0.3% → 1.5%, non-Pickup Target: 0.3% → 0.5%)

The announcement also confirmed that you will have a 100% chance of getting a three-star character after 80 pulls on a banner. There is a 50/50 chance of that character being a “Pickup Target.” If it isn’t, then the next time you will have a 100% chance of getting the featured unit. However, after the March 3, 2025 update, Akatsuki said you will have a 75% chance of getting the event character.

Finally, City Challenges will award Synchro Medals for Completion Rewards. You’ll get one medal for each task. For all of these challenges finished before the maintenance period, you’ll get an in-game mail with ones you would have earned.

Tribe Nine is available on PCs and mobile devices, and the next maintenance period with gacha rate changes will arrive on March 3, 2025.
