posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
ForwardWorks announced on Monday that it plans to restart service on it and Nippon Ichi Software's Makai Senki Disgaea RPG smartphone game in November. The companies will make another public update in September.
ForwardWorks stated that it brought in an additional development partner in June, and in July through September the companies will continue to improve the servers and the app. In October the companies plan to open a test version of the game and then make final changes, and then plan to restart service in November.
The companies revealed on April 12 that the game would remain unaccessible for at least three months. Nippon Ichi Software and ForwardWorks stated at that time that the game needs major repairs and estimated that the repairs and testing would take more than three months.
The companies explained that after they launched the game on March 19, many players experienced bugs with the game, and the companies immediately performed maintenance on the game. However, players were unable to progress equally because of errors, keeping some players from being able to play and missing out on login bonuses and campaigns. The staff stated that once service on the game is officially relaunched, Nippon Ichi Software and ForwardWorks will completely reset all player data.
The companies have pulled the game from both Apple's App Store and the Google Play store.
The companies announced the game at Nippon Ichi Software's 25th anniversary event in July 2018. The basic game is free to play, with some charges inside the app.
