Grimlight was supposed to have launched globally today, but log in issues have led the game to extend its maintenance time in order to get it sorted out.
UPDATE, 20:13, 8 JULY 2022: After hitting over 24 hours in maintenance, Grimlight will be “resetting” into an open beta phase.
Original story continues below.
The latest announcement regarding the issue on the Grimlight official Discord is given as follows:
Hello Dreamers, the game will be in maintenance for an additional 4 hours.
We have identified the issue and we are currently applying the solution and checking to ensure this problem is properly resolved. I know this is frustrating and is definitely not something we intended to happen. We apologize for this and we will do everything we can to make things up to you.
Stay tuned as we will definitely make announcements for compensation once this issue has been resolved.
Their other social channels on Facebook and Twitter does not have a similar announcement at time of writing, so it’s probably best to join the Discord for timely updates.
Here’s an overview of the game:
Awaken to a new beginning in a world of dreams and fairy tales. [Grimlight]
The world of Phantasia is filled with mystery and wonder but has been eroded away by the Dreamless, shadowy entities that seek to corrupt all living things and consume the world into the endless void.
Even the Dominion lords who once defended the realms were corrupted and soon lost their reason and sanity. They are now mere shells of their former selves engulfed in madness and destruction.
Only you, the Dreamer, can banish the darkness by calling upon heroes of legend through fragments of their past memories to save the world from endless ruin…
