As we announced before, and after seven years of bringing heartfelt stories, Cinderella Nine in August (Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine – 八月的棒球甜心) has officially ended its service as of December 17, 2024. First launched in June 2017, the post-service farewell comes with a final update to the main story, ensuring players can enjoy the heartfelt journey of their favorite characters one last time. An offline version of the game, Version 8.9.0, will be available for download (Android or iOS), allowing fans to continue exploring the story in a limited capacity without an internet connection.
The game’s developers have expressed deep gratitude to fans who have supported Cinderella Nine through the years. To ease the transition, they have detailed a refund process for unused paid in-game currency, Nine Stars, which players can claim through an in-app procedure. Additionally, players will have until March 2025 to download their data and access the offline version, ensuring that the legacy of the game remains accessible to its loyal community.
As the official announce was published, developers ensure that the spirit of the game lives on, even after its service officially ends. It’s a bittersweet moment for the community, but one filled with gratitude for the years of storytelling and camaraderie.
