SINoALICE “The Very Last Story” Fan Movie Announced

Posted on by


There still one final surprise for all SINoALICE fans! The team behind the project has made a so-called “fan movie” to tell “The Very Last Story” in the franchise. Check out below for more details!

Since it’s kinda sad for a long-standing mobile game to suddenly end service, the powers that be have come together to produce one last story for the fans: an hour-long ending movie that should wrap-up many of the remaining loose ends.

Here’s the teaser trailer:

We see some interesting things throughout the trailer above, for example both the fairy tale and reality versions of the characters, a really cool revisioning of the battlefield that players know all too well, and some really scary dolls that are apparently rampaging within the Library. Maybe they’re trying to “escape”…

▲ A shot of Reality Alice as she jumps from a building. Remember, all of the characters somehow befell a horrible fate in the real world and apparently “woke up” within the Library, that is, if my memory serves me…

▲ An interesting shot of fairy tale Alice… smiling…? And yes, SINoALICE has used Angelic Script throughout the series as well as the majority of Yoko Taro’s works.

The movie is scheduled to be screened on Friday, February 23 at Shinjuku Wald 9 in Tokyo and T Joy Umeda in Osaka. No specific time was listed.

▶︎ Merchandise and More

▲ Here’s the key visual for the movie with an example image of a clear file that comes with the movie ticket from Movie Walker Store.

▲ Ticket pre-orders are available now through February 22 (or until sold out, I assume!) from the Movie Walker Store. Various goodies will be sold at the venue such as:

  • Character Buttons – 440 yen each (tax included) – Total of 8 types
  • Acrylic Board A – 2,200 yen (tax included)
  • Metal Postcard A – 1,650 yen (tax included) – 5 card set

There will also be a special final broadcast tonight at 9:00pm (JST).

SINoALICE service ends

Posted on by

As of 12:00 pm (JST) today, SINoALICE has officially closed all of its servers and ended service for the smartphone game by Yoko Taro, which was first released on June 6, 2017. Six and a half years was still a pretty good run for a grindy gacha game!

Here’s a quick look at some messages from the development team and other fans of the long-running social smartphone game!

“As of 12:00 on January 15, 2024, service for “SINoALICE” has concluded. Thank you very much for your continued support over the past six and a half years since the service began.”
“Thanks to all of you, this isn’t just an end of service, but we were actually able to give it a proper ending. I’m really thankful to you! I don’t know how long “Something that was SINoALICE” will last or the details and specifications, but I would be happy if you could leave the icon in a corner of your home screen for as long as possible.” — Takuto Aoki
“SINoALICE…service has ended. To everyone including administrators and users: Thank you for your hard work.” — Manga artist Himiko (2024.1.15)
“It was a super fun social game! I will never forget the characters! Memories of eternal maintenance, Colo, and events will remain forever!! I’m really thankful!! Many thanks to everyone involved in the development!”

The developers were extremely kind in allowing even casual players who may have stopped playing the game over the years to access a secret area in the game that unlocked the final book entitled “SINoALICE”. After clearing these chapters, users were treated to a short ending movie and a final ranking headstone in proper SINoALICE style.

Famitsu also did an interview with creative director Yoko Taro, which you can read at the link below.

“End of Service: 1/15
The last SINoALICE interview (maybe)
Yoko Taro and other developers discuss “what is the right to terminate the game”.
* Contains plenty of spoilers!
* There is also mention of a secret feature in the game.”

SINoALICE to discontinue all service on January 15, 2024

All service to end January 2024 | Square Enix

Square Enix announced that they will be gradually discontinuing all service for the smartphone game SINoALICE, dreamt up by creative director Yoko Taro of NieR and Drakengard fame. The DMM and browser versions will end service at noon on December 26, 2023, followed by the discontinuation of all iOS/Android services at noon on January 15, 2024.

Originally released in Japan on June 6, 2017, Yoko’s actual birthday, servers will be shut done roughly six months before its 7th anniversary. The ending chapters will be updated and available to play between December 26 to January 15. Following the ending on December 26, the story will conclude for those who have cleared the final chapters. Specific details will be announced separately.

Leading up to the complete end of service, in-game purchases of crystals will conclude today, October 26, and usage of these items will be available through December 26.

The game will undergo a round of maintenance today to implement in-game campaigns and events to help players enjoy the trek to the end. Further details will be announced on the official website and within the game itself.

The global service for the game is scheduled to end on November 15, 2023, so it’s somewhat unfortunate that the Japanese side couldn’t survive much beyond that.

That being said, the hype for the game quickly wained throughout the years, especially in the last couple years. It’s sad to admit that I haven’t actively played the game in many months. I will mourn the money that I spent to enjoy certain aspects of the game throughout the years, but like everything else, all things must come to an end. I had a feeling the end was coming soon; it’s just somewhat of a shock to finally receive the official news of its inevitable discontinuation.
