Romancing SaGa Re:universe Global Server Closure Announced
The global version of Romancing SaGa Re:universe will officially cease operations on December 2nd, 2024. While this may come as a surprise to some, the Japanese version will continue to operate.
Two Months Remain
With the shutdown date approaching, in-app purchases of jewels and Google Play Points exchanges have already been discontinued following the September 29th, 2024 maintenance. Players have approximately two months of gameplay remaining before the servers close.
A Mixed Legacy
Launched globally in June 2020, the game enjoyed a four-year run marked by both successes and challenges. Despite its high-quality visuals, soundtrack, and generous gacha system, Romancing SaGa Re:universe received mixed player feedback. Unlike its popular Japanese counterpart, the global version lacked significant content updates, including the Solistia expansion and 6-star unit upgrades. The absence of this content, available in Japan for nearly a year, contributed to player dissatisfaction and ultimately impacted the game's longevity.
Square Enix's Recent Closures
This closure follows several other game shutdowns by Square Enix in 2024, including Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius and two Dragon Quest mobile titles.
A Final Opportunity
Romancing SaGa Re:universe, a turn-based RPG based on the classic SaGa series, offers players two final months to enjoy its gameplay. Interested players can download the game from the Google Play Store.
