DMM Games To End ANGELICA ASTER Service On October 19
DMM is closing a title it marketed as its pinnacle full-scale 3D bishoujo battle game roughly two years after launch, and the operation team's stated reason is that it could not keep providing sufficient service rather than any single external factor.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
DMM GAMES announced on September 18 that ANGELICA ASTER will end service on October 19, about one year and eleven months after its December 2024 launch on DMM GAMES for PC, PC browser, and Android, with an iOS version following later. The operation team said it had worked on its operation structure, schedule adjustments, and development of functions and content, but judged it could not keep providing sufficient service. Jewel purchases stopped on September 18 and unused jewels will be refunded from October 19.
The operation team framed the shutdown around capacity, not performance. Its notice said the game had been working on improvements to its operation structure, schedule adjustments, and development of various functions and content, and that it judged it could not continue to provide sufficient service. Purchases of jewels were suspended from 17:00 on September 18, with refunds for unused jewels starting at 12:00 on October 19. A new character had been introduced on X on September 17, the day before the announcement. An 18+ version, ANGELICA ASTER R, has also been offered on FANZA.
