Volzerk: Monsters and Lands Unknown, the role-playing game has announced the end of service and will officially shut down on March 29, 2024. COLOPL, the Japan-based developer known for games such as Neko Golf, has confirmed the message via the store page of the game.
The reason for Volzerk end of service hasn’t been revealed yet
Speaking about the game, Volzerk: Monsters and Lands Unknown, or in short Volzerk is a crossbreeding action RPG set on the island of Fort Lemuria, where Fina embarks on a quest to discover legendary monsters. With the disappearance of the island guardian, Volzerk, ten years ago, Fina joins the Research Commission to protect the endangered monsters.
Here, we can mix and match monsters with different riders for epic battles, utilizing various weapon types and character switches strategically. The selling point of this title was the monster breeding system, where you could also crossbreed monsters to inherit abilities and customize your play style. Although last year in January the game was made available in Japan, it did launch globally a couple of months later.
Well, with the shutdown announcement, the game lasted only for a year. For now, the reason behind the EOS has not been notified yet. The shutdown timeline will be as follows.
Date | Event |
---|---|
16/2/2024 | Scout will be stopped and no more characters can be bought, although already-owned characters can be used till EOS |
29/2/2024 | Suspension of new user registrations into the game |
29/3/2024 | End of service for Volzerk |
In my opinion, the game has good graphics and cutscenes, and I see it was released on Steam too, although it wasn’t well received. In the Google Play Store, the reviews look decent and 500K+ downloads don’t seem bad, but if the revenue was less than the desired to get a profit figure then I can understand the thought process behind the shutdown. This is a sad state, for sure.
