Square Enix has announced the end of service for Engage Kill, the mobile game of its Project Engage multimedia project, less than a year since the game’s launch.

According to the announcement on the game’s official website, Engage Kill will be ending its service on March 21st, 2024, at 12 AM (JST).

After the announcement, the sales of “Orgonium”, the game’s paid in-app currency ceased effectively immediately.

Players who still have Orgonium in their possession can still use it until the end of the game’s service.

To comply with Japan’s law, Square Enix will be issuing a refund to players who still have unused Orgonium after the game’s shutdown.

The developers advised players not to uninstall the game as it would affect the game’s data and the refund procedure.
