Tencent and Level Infinite recently made the bittersweet announcement that they will be concluding the live services of *Alchemy Stars*. Initially launched in June 2021 on mobile platforms, the game will transition into an offline version, allowing players to continue enjoying the story even after the official shutdown.

When Is the Game Wrapping Up Its Services?

*Alchemy Stars* will cease its live service operations on January 24th, 2025. In preparation for this transition, the developers have scheduled maintenance on January 10th from 4:00 to 9:00 GMT to deploy version 1.43.0. This update is essential for accessing the local data save feature, which is key to preserving your game progress.

After the update, you'll find a new data save button on the main page. Simply tap it to navigate to a page where you can secure your user data. Remember, you can save your data multiple times, but you must do so before January 24th at 4:00 GMT, as any unsaved data will be lost forever after this deadline.

Once *Alchemy Stars* shifts to its special offline edition, no further updates will be available. Importantly, if you delete the app, you won't be able to reinstall it. The offline version will allow you to explore your saved data, replay the story, and upgrade your units.

Having an offline version is undoubtedly a silver lining compared to a complete shutdown. It's a great way to keep the game alive in your hands. Make sure to update to version 1.43.0, save your data, and download the game from the Google Play Store before it's gone.
