Publisher aNCHOR hosted another livestream regarding the mobile game Immortals: Muv-Luv Alternative following its launch and subsequent removal from the stores due to issues.
Brand producer Kazutoshi “Tororo” Matsumura, who is now supervising the game, provided an update on what we can expect.
In the previous update it was mentioned that the game would remain unavailable at least until May, but now we learn that the reopening date remains undecided.
The development team has determined that the game needs radical changes based on the current state of development and feedback from players.
Anchor wants to review the gameplay thoroughly and make sure that everyone who plays will find the game enjoyable when service resumes.
Unfortunately, this means that all saved data will be wiped. Refunds for all purchases will be issued with more information coming next week.
While some of the bugs have already been corrected, a new update will come in early June when we may hear about a possible relaunch timing.
Of course, Matsumura-san also apologized for the issues and for the loss of playtime, thanking fans for their patience.
