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

Alchemy Stars: Offline Mode Incoming, Server Shutdown on January 24th, 2025

Tencent and Level Infinite recently announced the upcoming closure of Alchemy Stars' online services. Launched in June 2021, the mobile game will transition to an offline-only version on January 24th, 2025. This means players can still enjoy the game's story and gameplay, but with no further updates or online features.

Server Shutdown and Offline Transition:

The live service for Alchemy Stars will officially end on January 24th, 2025, at 4:00 GMT. Before this date, a crucial maintenance period will occur on January 10th from 4:00 to 9:00 GMT to implement version 1.43.0, which includes a local data save feature.

Saving Your Progress:

Players must update to version 1.43.0 and save their game data before January 24th, 4:00 GMT. A dedicated save button will be available on the main menu. While multiple saves are allowed, unsaved progress will be lost permanently after the shutdown. The offline version will not be downloadable after the server closure; deleting and reinstalling the app will result in data loss.

The offline version will allow players to replay the story, upgrade units, and access their saved progress. While not ideal, this offline mode offers a better alternative to a complete game deletion.

Action Required:

Download Alchemy Stars from the Google Play Store before January 24th, 2025, update to version 1.43.0, and save your game data to preserve your progress. Remember, this is a one-time opportunity to retain your achievements.
