New Love Reside! cellular recreation will launch globally in February, then shut in Might
In a tweet from the SIF account, the corporate says it’s “excited to interrupt the information to you that the worldwide model of Love Reside! College Idol Competition 2 MIRACLE LIVE! is launching quickly in February 2024.” Then, within the subsequent paragraph: “Nevertheless, we additionally wish to inform you that, the International Model will shut its doorways on Might 31, 2024, and stop in-app purchases accordingly.”
It’s a little surreal, to see a launch and closure in the identical tweet like that. Cellular video games spinning up, making their money, and shutting down later isn’t precisely information, however doing it multi functional fell swoop? Unbelievable.
Grand opening, grand closing
Because the textual content notes, that is the worldwide model particularly. Per Gematsu, the College Idol Competition 2 opened its doorways in Japan for iOS and Android on April 15, 2023. It’s additionally closing sooner than the worldwide model, on March 31, 2024. So whereas the worldwide model received’t make it three months, the sport as a complete won’t have made it a full 12 months on both model.
A part of me has to wonder if this is because of some type of obligation, that the worldwide model is even going reside in any respect. Or perhaps that is simply probably the most nihilistic tackle cellular gacha video games but.
The video games trade has not been simple on anyone these days, so I do have numerous sympathy for the builders who put work into making one thing for the Love Reside! followers and must see their work disappear so quick. Perhaps a 3rd College Idol Competition will see extra time within the mild than this specific entry within the Love Reside! canon.
