What Was Seven Mortal Sins X-TASY?
Launched globally on April 26, 2022, Seven Mortal Sins X-TASY was an SRPG (strategy role-playing game) that focused on collecting and battling with a cast of seductive female characters. The game was set in the same universe as Demon Worship Project, which adds a rich narrative backdrop involving the Seven Deadly Sins. As a Gacha RPG, players would summon characters through a randomized system, combining strategy with luck.
However, the game faced challenges as it struggled to maintain its player base. In addition to the gameplay elements, the art style and character designs drew attention, but ultimately, Seven Mortal Sins X-TASY was unable to sustain the kind of long-term popularity seen by other titles in the genre. This led to the decision by USERJOY Technology to shut down the game.
Key Dates for Players to Remember
- November 26, 2024: The game will be removed from all platforms, including app stores, and the payment system will be disabled. This means players will no longer be able to make any in-game purchases.
- December 18, 2024: The servers will be officially shut down, and the game will no longer be playable.
- January 17, 2025: The official game website and fan pages will be taken offline, marking the final end of Seven Mortal Sins X-TASY.
What Happens to Your In-Game Purchases?
For those who have spent money on Seven Mortal Sins X-TASY, there's some good news. If you made purchases during your time playing, your remaining points and in-game rewards will be transferred to another game from the same developer, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel – Northern War. This means that while the Seven Mortal Sins X-TASY servers will close, your investment will not go completely to waste, as you can use your points to unlock rewards in another popular title.
What Are Your Options After December 18, 2024?
Once the servers are down, players won’t be able to access the game or enjoy any of the characters or content they’ve unlocked. If you're still keen on collecting characters, it's a good idea to grind through as much content as possible before the shutdown. With the payment function already disabled, any new purchases or character unlocks are now impossible.
However, there’s a bright side. If you’re a fan of The Legend of Heroes series, the rewards transfer to Trails of Cold Steel – Northern War will be a great incentive to explore new adventures with your leftover credits.
A Farewell to a Unique Game
While Seven Mortal Sins X-TASY may not have reached the same level of success as some of its competitors, its unique blend of strategy and seductive character designs carved out a niche fanbase. The upcoming shutdown is a reminder of the volatility in the mobile gaming industry, where even popular titles sometimes face closure if they fail to sustain engagement.
For fans, the shutdown marks the end of an era, but there are still memories to enjoy and rewards to claim. Make sure to use up your remaining in-game resources and prepare for the game's final days. With the transfer system in place, at least your purchases will follow you to another adventure.
In Summary:
- Seven Mortal Sins X-TASY is shutting down on December 18, 2024.
- The game will be removed from stores on November 26, 2024.
- Players who made purchases will have their remaining points transferred to The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel – Northern War.
- The official game website and fan pages will close on January 17, 2025.
For anyone who enjoyed the game, make sure to take advantage of these last few months and prepare for the inevitable shutdown.
