Revue Starlight Re:LIVE's End of Service Announced

The curtain is falling on Revue Starlight Re:LIVE. The mobile game, based on the popular anime, will officially shut down its servers on September 30th, 2024, at 07:00 UTC. This marks the end of nearly six years on Android.

Reasons Behind the Closure

While not entirely unexpected, the announcement of Revue Starlight Re:LIVE's end of service (EOS) is still bittersweet. The game, intended as a direct continuation of the anime, struggled to maintain player engagement over the past five and a half years. Factors contributing to its decline include repetitive events, reused assets, and costly battle passes. Furthermore, questionable plot developments, such as the abrupt shift from The Giraffe storyline, further alienated players. The shutdown impacts the global player base, including Japan.

Positive Aspects

Despite its shortcomings, Revue Starlight Re:LIVE offered some redeeming qualities. Its soundtrack, featuring music from the anime, was a highlight. The visually appealing 3D graphics and Live2D animations also received positive feedback.

A Final Farewell

Although the game's lifespan is nearing its end, players still have a few weeks to enjoy its content. Developers are implementing several farewell campaigns throughout August and September. These include a "Thank You For Everything" campaign offering ten free pulls daily, and a two-month birthday celebration featuring two "New Stage Girl Gacha" events. Interested players can download the game from the Google Play Store before its closure.
