Sadly, it was announced by KADOKAWA that the game will come to an end on May 30, 2025. They expressed their regret for this decision, saying, “We sincerely apologize for ending our service.” The reason behind the closure remains undisclosed.

You can use any remaining Magic Rainbow Crystals until the EOS or opt for a refund

After this announcement, it’s important to note that the sale of “Magic Rainbow Crystals” has come to an end. If you currently own some, feel free to keep using them. The fun doesn’t stop there! Enjoy their magic for as long as you still have them until we officially cease operations on the given termination date.

Great news! The game is going to provide refunds starting from May 30, which coincides with the EOS (End of Service). To confirm your identity during the refund process, you’ll need your unique refund number. Just be mindful not to spend any Crystals you’ve already paid for if you decide to request a refund, as only those that remain unused are eligible.

On the upside, developers have planned several engaging in-game activities ahead. Moreover, players will receive 10 free gacha tickets daily for characters, with increased gacha rates for characters during login bonuses, which continue until the end of service (EoS) date. Here are the scheduled events:

  • Regulus Assault, which is live now, is running until April 17.
  • Roy Attacks from April 17 to May 1.
  • Summer Birth2024 Swimsuit Fun! from May 1 to May 15.
  • And, the Holy Snow Festival from May 15 to May 29.

It’s disappointing that this game set in such a well-known series didn’t last longer and hasn’t made it to its first anniversary. Given the End of Series (EoS) announcement, many fans weren’t taken aback since they had anticipated this outcome.
