Soul Tide is the next gacha RPG to bite the dust

• Lemcnsun has announced that Soul Tide will be shutting down for good
• Service officially ends on February 28th
• One final update will be released to fans

Another gacha RPG is shutting down. Lemcnsun has just announced that Soul Tide will officially end service on February 28th, 2025. Effective immediately, downloads and in-game purchases are disabled, and all player data will be deleted after shutdown.

Soul Tide’s team cited the expiration of its licensing agreement as the main reason, but it’s hard to ignore the broader pattern. With so many choices in the genre, keeping a dedicated audience isn’t easy. Soul Tide started off well, but it also faced the same struggles as many other releases such as the usual gacha controls and the challenge of maintaining long-term engagement.

The studio isn’t just bowing out just like that as they’ve got one final update waiting for you. The last month will feature new banners, including rate-ups for Lavira, Asuna, Scarlet Lancer, and Woe. Alien Invasion Season 21 is also going live, offering one last set of challenges before the servers go dark. If you still have resources left, now’s the time to use them.

It’s becoming hard to ignore how often this is happening now. Just recently, Atelier Resleriana announced its own shutdown, and now Soul Tide follows. The market is oversaturated, and unless a game manages to stand out with strong mechanics or a dedicated player base, it risks getting lost in the shuffle. 

If you’re still stuck with Soul Tide as your main game, the final update at least offers a way to wrap things up on your terms. A memorable farewell is being prepared in Continent Cresent so be sure you don’t miss out on it. Follow the X page to stay updated on Soul Tide’s final moments.
