IDOLY PRIDE to end service on March 1, 2027 after ~5 years 8 months
Key takeaways
- Service end date: March 1, 2027
- Developer/operator: QualiArts (CyberAgent subsidiary)
- Mobile launch date: June 24, 2021
IDOLY PRIDE, the idol-management RPG developed and operated by QualiArts (a CyberAgent subsidiary), will end online service on March 1, 2027, the team announced on its official X account. The post gives a firm date and outlines plans for live broadcasts and events before servers close.
The game launched for smartphones on June 24, 2021, and is part of a larger media-mix project whose TV anime aired in January 2021. Players praised the title for its high-quality 3D idol models and immersive live-stage production; over the years it ran collaborations with Hatsune Miku, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? 10th Anniversary. Across roughly five years and eight months of service, those features and tie-ins were a steady part of its content.
QualiArts says it will hold live streams and various in-game events during the remaining service window. After March 1, the team plans to release an offline update so players can keep some form of the experience locally. The company has not published detailed timing or content lists for the post-service offline build.
Why it matters
If you’ve been collecting outfits or saving gacha pulls, note the firm March 1 cutoff and the promise of an offline update — the online servers stop then, but a playable offline version is planned afterward.
