Alternavert -Blue Exorcist Gaiden- launched on June 25, 2025, as an action RPG spin-off of the Blue Exorcist franchise. The management stated that after operating and making improvements since launch, they determined it was difficult to continue providing a service that satisfied customers. Sales of in-game currency Magic Stones and the Oruex Pass subscription end on May 19. A final ending scenario will be added via maintenance on June 2, bringing the original story to a close. On June 23 at 12:00, the server will shut down and convert to an offline version that preserves acquired characters and items, though save data will not transfer. The offline version can be downloaded until September 30, 2026, and may become unplayable due to device or OS changes. Refunds for unused paid Magic Stones will be processed under the Payment Services Act, with applications accepted from June 23 to September 30.
