After Four Years of Launch, Alchemy Stars Shutting Down and Getting an Offline Version

Alchemy Stars: Offline Transition and Farewell

Tencent and Level Infinite recently announced the upcoming closure of Alchemy Stars' online services on January 24th, 2025. However, players will still be able to enjoy the game in a special offline mode. This means you can revisit the story and your progress, but with some important caveats.

Closure Date and Offline Transition:

Live service ends January 24th, 2025. A crucial update (version 1.43.0) will be deployed on January 10th, 2025, from 4:00 to 9:00 GMT. This update introduces a local data save feature. It's essential to update and save your game data before January 24th at 4:00 GMT; otherwise, your progress will be lost permanently. The save function is accessible from the main menu. Multiple saves are allowed before the deadline.

Offline Mode Limitations:

The offline version will be a static experience. No further updates or content additions will be available. Deleting the app will result in permanent data loss; reinstalling will not be possible. The offline mode will allow you to replay the story, access your saved progress, and continue upgrading units.

Final Thoughts:

While the complete shutdown of Alchemy Stars is disappointing, the offline version offers a chance to preserve your progress and revisit the game's content. Download the game from the Google Play Store before January 24th to ensure you can access this offline version.
