Alchemy Stars is shutting down its online services on January 24th, 2025, but not before offering players a unique offline experience. Tencent and Level Infinite announced the transition last month, allowing players to retain their progress and replay the story after the official shutdown.

Shutdown Date and Offline Transition:

The game's 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, essential for preserving your game progress.

Saving Your Progress:

After the January 10th maintenance, a data save button will appear on the main menu. Players can save their data multiple times until January 24th at 4:00 GMT. Unsaved data will be lost permanently after this deadline.

Offline Version Limitations:

The offline version will be a static experience; no further updates will be released. Deleting the app will result in permanent data loss, and re-downloading will not be possible. The offline version allows players to revisit the story, upgrade units, and interact with their saved data.

Final Thoughts:

While a complete shutdown would have been devastating, the offline version provides a welcome alternative, allowing players to continue enjoying their progress. Download Alchemy Stars from the Google Play Store before its online servers go offline.
