Koei Tecmo has officially announced the end of service for *Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator*, marking a poignant end just a year after its global launch. The game's services will cease on March 28th, with in-game purchases halting earlier on January 27th. In the lead-up to the shutdown, players can look forward to a series of farewell events, offering a final chance to delve into the game's world.
The decision to shut down stems from the developers' realization that they could not maintain the quality standards they had set for themselves. Despite their continuous efforts to enhance the game through updates and events, they concluded that continuing operations was no longer feasible. Players can still utilize their Lodestar Gems for in-game activities until the final day, though no further purchases will be accepted.
For many fans of *Atelier Resleriana*, this news might not be unexpected. The gacha gaming market is fiercely competitive, with numerous titles fighting for player attention. While *Atelier Resleriana* introduced innovative concepts, it faced significant challenges. The game's gacha mechanics and banner rates were often criticized, leading to player dissatisfaction with progression. Additionally, the alchemy system, a hallmark of the Atelier series, failed to engage players as intended, missing the creative spark fans hoped for. The gameplay, while functional, lacked the allure needed to stand out among other top-tier JRPGs.
From the outset, *Atelier Resleriana* was up against formidable odds, and in retrospect, the signs of its struggles were evident. Social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit have seen an outpouring of requests for an offline version, though the likelihood of this happening seems slim.
