Server restoration ends indefinite halt that began March 2
The shutdown followed severe backlash against a collaboration with China Post. The partnership featured censored game characters that critics deemed inappropriate for a state-affiliated entity. Prior to the shutdown, the studio removed adult-oriented content from its official Bilibili channel.
Returning players receive a free limited SSR character of their choice from versions 1.0 to 2.8. The compensation package also includes a free weapon of matching choice. Additionally, the studio added an extra daily pull to the limited-time Manifestation Echo Covenant.
Content from the Back From Bygone update remains available until May 15, 2026. The game operates as a free-to-play title on iOS, Android, and PC via Steam. The employee benefit timer resumes from its previous pause point rather than resetting.
Amazing Seasun Games has not confirmed the specific technical reasons for the initial shutdown beyond the public relations controversy. The studio has not disclosed long-term plans for future collaborations with state-affiliated entities.
