Tales of Crestoria has announced its end of service, applicable to both the global and Japanese release, managing about a year and a half of it going live. Despite that, the story of Tales of Crestoria is not yet at an end…
The announcement regarding the closure is given as follows:
Thank you for playing Tales of Crestoria.
This is the Tales of Crestoria Team.We apologize for the sudden announcement, but as outlined in the “Tales of Crestoria is Shutting Down” notice, Tales of Crestoria will no longer be available as of February 6, 2022(PST).
The team worked hard to deliver a game that could be long-enjoyed by fans of the Tales of series, and we’re extremely sorry to announce this disappointing news to the players who’ve enjoyed Tales of Crestoria thus far.
We’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to those same players who continued to explore the world of Crestoria with us, in spite of the large number of in-game issues.However, since service began, we have received kind words from many players that motivated both our management and development teams greatly. We would like to extend our warmest thanks to these players for their encouragement.
Amongst these kind words of encouragement, harsher criticisms expecting a higher quality of game were voiced. Taking these words to have come from a place of love for the Tales of series, we worked to improve the quality of Tales of Crestoria. For our inability to meet these expectations, and for the closure of Crestoria, we apologize.The main story of Tales of Crestoria will not be progressing further in-game than the already released Chapter 10. However, we are currently considering other mediums through which to bring the story to its fans. We apologize that we have no further information to share, but rest assured we are working towards bringing the adventures of Kanata and the gang to an all-new stage.
Servers will officially close 6 February 2022, 21:00 PST. The notice adds that the Crestoria cast are considered “full-fledged members” of the Tales series, with potential for appearances in crossover events. There are intentions for the story to be told in a different medium, whatever form that may take.
For now, farewell, Transgressors, we hope to see you again.
