The announcement of the global version of Romancing SaGa Re:universe ending its service on December 2nd, 2024, might not come as a complete surprise to many. Given the mixed reviews and the significant content gap between the global and Japanese versions, the decision to shut down the global servers seems to be a culmination of various factors.
As previously stated, the game's final day will be December 2nd, 2024. The cessation of item sales involving paid jewels and the end of Google Play Points exchanges occurred post the last maintenance on September 29th, 2024.
Launched globally in June 2020, Romancing SaGa Re:universe has had a four-year run filled with ups and downs. Despite boasting stunning graphics, a robust soundtrack, and a generous gacha system, the game garnered mixed feedback. While the Japanese version enjoys robust popularity and widespread acclaim, the global version struggled to maintain a consistent fanbase. The absence of key content updates like Solistia and the delay in introducing 6-star character upgrades, which the Japanese version received nearly a year ago, likely contributed to player dissatisfaction and the eventual decision to end the service.
Square Enix, the developers behind Romancing SaGa Re:universe, have already terminated several games this year, including Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius and two Dragon Quest mobile titles. This trend of closures continues with the global version of Romancing SaGa Re:universe.
As a traditional turn-based RPG rooted in the classic SaGa series, Romancing SaGa Re:universe offers players two more months to enjoy its gameplay. For those who have yet to experience the game, this is your chance to dive in. You can find it on the Google Play Store if you're interested in giving it a try.
