The game will stop selling items for real money effective immediately and will finally end its service on June 30, less than three years after its launch in August 2018. Refunds will be offered for unused real money purchases starting on September 30.
Based on the old and glorious Arc the Lad franchise with the help of creator Toshiro Tsuchida himself, Arc The Lad R is part of Sony’s effort to revive its old JRPG franchises on mobile platforms after the house of PlayStation pretty much abandoned the genre on consoles, at least speaking of first-party initiatives.
While Arc The Lad R didn’t last nearly as much as successful mobile games like Granblue Fantasy, it fared better than Wild Arms: Million Memories, which shut down just over a year after its launch.
