The announcement of the global version of Romancing SaGa Re:universe ending its service on December 2nd, 2024, may not come as a complete surprise to many. Given the mixed reviews and the absence of key content updates like Solistia and 6-star character upgrades, which have been available in the Japanese version for nearly a year, it's clear the global version struggled to keep up. The Japanese version, on the other hand, continues to thrive, indicating a significant disparity in player engagement and satisfaction between the two regions.
Two More Months Of Gameplay Left
With the game's closure set for December, the sale of items requiring paid jewels and Google Play Points exchanges ceased following the maintenance on September 29th, 2024. Launched in June 2020, Romancing SaGa Re:universe enjoyed a four-year run filled with ups and downs. Despite its stunning visuals, engaging sound, and a generous gacha system, the game garnered mixed feedback. The lack of crucial updates that were readily available in Japan played a significant role in its eventual shutdown.
What Are Your Thoughts?
Square Enix, the powerhouse behind Romancing SaGa Re:universe, has already closed several titles this year, including Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius and two Dragon Quest mobile games. This pattern of closures suggests a strategic shift or perhaps a reassessment of their mobile gaming portfolio. Romancing SaGa Re:universe, rooted in the classic SaGa series, offers a traditional turn-based RPG experience. Players have just two more months to enjoy the game or to try it out for the first time. You can find it on the Google Play Store if you're interested in giving it a go before the service ends.
