Already closed in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau since November 10, 2022, SINoALICE will lose its final stronghold at the end of a special final chapter closing the plot of the RPG. Players will have to hurry because this epilogue will only be available from December 26 to January 15; after which, if grieving has not been done, this will be between them and their local therapist.
Final bouquet
To celebrate the memory of its little gacha who left too soon, Square Enix is organizing a round table SINoALICE on January 23 in Shinjuku where 4 developers will look back on the project, its lows, and especially its highs. Yoko Taro himself will be present. To attend, Japanese fans must register for a lottery where 140 places are at stake. A formidable challenge to the principle of gacha. It is not clear whether the round table will be rebroadcast. The official soundtrack will also be released on January 23. Finally, the final nail in the coffin of the franchise, the sixth and final volume of the manga will appear in Japan on January 6. Kurokawa will take care of publishing it for us.
Another gacha from Yoko Taro will also go to the grave in January 2024: the confidential 404 Game re:set, in partnership with SEGA. The publisher governed a merciless techno-dystopian Japan where old
classic franchises (OutRun, Virtua Fighter, or even Arkanoid) fought against the SEGA despot in the form of pretty juvenile girls. Too much nonsense to seduce the Japanese public who did not pay much attention to it. “We have worked hard to provide better services to our players, but we have concluded that it will be difficult to provide satisfactory service in the near future.“The servers will close on January 5, 2024. Until then, SEGA will launch one last event, refund the last purchases of premium currency and implement some patches to preserve a mode offline. A gesture rare enough to be highlighted.
