Last month, Tencent and Level Infinite made the surprising announcement that they will be discontinuing the live services of Alchemy Stars. Originally launched in June 2021 on mobile platforms, Alchemy Stars is transitioning to an offline version, allowing players to continue enjoying the game's story even after its official shutdown.
When Is the Game Wrapping Up Its Services?
Alchemy Stars will officially end its live service on January 24th, 2025. In preparation for the offline version, the developers have scheduled maintenance on January 10th from 4:00 to 9:00 GMT to release version 1.43.0. It's essential to update your game after this maintenance to utilize the local data save feature, which is your only opportunity to preserve your progress. You'll find a data save button on the main page; tapping it will direct you to a page where you can save your user data. Remember, you can save your data multiple times, but this option will be available only until January 24th at 4:00 GMT. Any unsaved data after this time will be lost forever.Once Alchemy Stars transitions to its special offline edition, there will be no further updates. Importantly, deleting the app means you won't be able to download it again, as reinstalling won't be an option. The offline version will allow you to explore your saved data, play through the story, and upgrade your units, offering a way to continue enjoying the game's content.
Having an offline version certainly beats a complete shutdown, wouldn't you agree? Make sure to gear up for the offline version and download the game from the Google Play Store before it's gone for good.
