Why it matters
Inchi Game built the game as well as ran the Chinese version, so its bankruptcy liquidation leaves the Japanese version's fall 2026 launch under Zenexus without a clear answer on whether development or operation is affected.
Login, payments, and gameplay are unavailable, with no restart date given. The Japanese version, published by Zenexus, a separate company, remains in pre-registration with a fall 2026 release planned. Whether the bankruptcy affects the Japanese version is not stated.
The shutdown notice, posted on the Bilibili account on August 26, said Inchi Game entered bankruptcy liquidation and had to hand over operating rights and materials, which is why servers stopped at 18:00 that day. Inchi Game was the Chinese operator and the developer of the game, the detail that matters for the Japanese version.
Zenexus, a separate company, handles the Japanese release. Pre-registration opened August 7 and the game is planned for fall 2026. The announcement does not say whether the bankruptcy affects the Japanese version's launch or ongoing operation.
