AVA's Farewell Site Opens with RE:BIRTH Name Transfer Campaign
The farewell site and name-transfer campaign formalize the handoff from the 18-year-old AVA to AVA RE:BIRTH, which launches this fall on Pmang and VFUN.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
G.O.P opened a special website on September 2 looking back at AVA's 18 years and 6,485 days of service. The site includes a history timeline, cumulative player data, and comments from past operation producers. A campaign to transfer character names to the new title AVA RE:BIRTH runs until September 24 at 12:00. AVA's service ends October 28, 2026, and the successor launches this fall on Pmang and VFUN.
Only names set as of September 1 at 3:00 AM are eligible for transfer; characters created after that cutoff are excluded. G.O.P frames the campaign as carrying the names players have used for years, and the names their teammates call them, into the next battlefield.
AVA RE:BIRTH, whose official name was announced on August 12, is free-to-play and aims to return to the "original experience" of the FPS genre. A PvPvE mode called HUNTING FIELD, where players gather supplies and escape alive, was announced in late August.
G.O.P described AVA as Japan's number one in net cafes and e-sports at its peak, with 70,000 daily matches and over 2.8 million cumulative players. Special events are planned before service ends October 28.
