There are exceptions, of course, but everything in the world has a beginning and an end. Even if you want to sleep forever, you have to get up, delicious food is gone when you eat it, and there comes a time when you have to complete a fun game. Still, it is online games that seem to never end. In particular, I have the impression that many smartphone games are enjoyed for a long period of time from the start of service, but on the other hand, there are some that end their services early. However, there are some games that end their services early. " ShinO Alice " also released its final episode "Yokubou-hen" on December 20, 2023 (Wed.), and announced that it will end its service on January 15, 2024 (Mon.). It would be wonderful if all smartphone games could end like that, but since development and operation costs money, that is not always the case, and even popular games sometimes end their services early. And unfortunately, Sega' s " 404 GAME RE:SET " has also been announced to end its service.
The service will end on January 5 next year.
"404 GAME RE:SET -Error Game Reset-" will be service will end on January 5, 2024 (Friday) at 12:00 on January 5, 2024 (Fri.) at 12:00. The service was launched on April 25, 2023 (Tuesday), and the game just recently celebrated its half-anniversary in-game, so this must have been a surprise to players. The sudden announcement came as a surprise to me as well. Not only Sega, but also classic games from Namco,Taito, Capcom, andSNK have been turned into fascinating characters by Yuugen (@Yuugen_99 ), and are now moving around in the dark, disturbing, and Sega-dominated world created by Yoko Taro(@yokotaro ). It's a real shame, because it was a daily pleasure to watch them move around in the dark and disturbing world dominated by Sega and creative-directed by @yokotaro. There is a concern that the game will end halfway through, as the service will end after less than a year, about eight and a half months since its launch, but the story that we are interested in will be completed! The main quest has been released up to chapter 8 at the time of the service termination announcement, but chapter 9 will be released on Wednesday, December 13, 2023, and chapter 10 will be released on Friday, January 5, 2024, the service termination date, to complete the "404 GAME RE:SET -Error Game Reset-" storyline. The final chapter 10 will be delivered in conjunction with the end of service, so it is recommended to clear up to chapter 9 by then, and log in to the game and download the necessary data before the maintenance on the end of service day. After the service ends, the game will switch to " offline mode " where battles will not be available and some functions will be restricted, and you will be able to look back on your "memories" and review your past play . However, there are only about 2 months left to do the battle! If you haven't played the game yet, you can still catch up to Chapter 8, so please take this opportunity to play "404 GAME RE:SET -Error Game Reset-"! Also, until the end of the service, we will continue to hold various in-game events such as " R.A.I.S.", " Development Division Colosseum ", " CLOUD EVENT ", and so on. Players who have been playing the game up until now will be able to continue to play and see how the story will end! For details on the service termination, please refer to the "[Important] Service Termination Notice " on the official website and the " Producer Letter (Important Notice )" from Gosuke Nakamura, the producer of the game!
