In a startling turn of events, SEGA and Yoko Taro’s recently released RPG 404 GAME RE:SET has announced its farewell to the fans on the mobile platforms, and will shut down on January 5, 2024. What’s more surprising is that this decision came a year of run after its launch.
404 GAME RE:SET failed to generate enough interest according to Producer
404 GAME RE:SET was initially revealed on February 10, 2023, and the official launch in Japan was on April 25, 2023. The RPG, based on the game Error Game Reset, features third-person battles with shooting-like elements in a cyberworld setting brought back to life with the inclusion of female characters that form the crux of the game.
Truth be told, 404 GAME RE:SET didn’t quite live up to the expectations, especially coming from a company like SEGA. The game’s launch didn’t generate much buzz, with lackluster download numbers. Players voiced their dissatisfaction with the gameplay, finding it subpar. As a result, just six months into its release, the announcement of an end of service comes as no surprise.
In the announcement blog, the Producer Gosuke Nakamura stated that despite efforts to make it an all-collaboration project with widespread involvement and various initiatives to engage players, the game didn’t generate enough excitement to sustain its service. Hence, despite their best efforts and the support of dedicated players, the team couldn’t find a way to continue the service successfully, leading to the difficult decision to end it.
Hence, 404 GAME RE:SET will conclude in Chapter 10, with Chapter 9 released on December 13, 2023, and Chapter 10 on January 5, 2024, on the date of shut down. To access Chapter 10, you must download the game data between the release of Chapter 9 and the maintenance on January 5.
