The game launched in Japan around 5 months ago, on December 1, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/sensakusangoku\/status\/1518476654662025217\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sensaku Sangokushi<\/em> is a Three Kingdoms-themed free-to-play simulation game for iOS and Android. The game\u2019s launch was accompanied by an extensive marketing campaign, including Nintendo Switch and iPad Pro giveaways, prompting over 300,000 users to pre-register. It features Japanese voiceovers done by professional voice actors and provides multiplayer support as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emergency maintenance for the game started on Friday, April 22, and it appears that the company has decided to pull the plug after spending a weekend trying to fix a critical issue. They commented that they\u2019re actively considering how to compensate the users and will provide further information as soon as details are set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another game from Ingame called <em>Savage King<\/em> recently ended its service on April 20. This game had been in service for around three years, starting in 2019. And it was only a few days ago when their official Twitter account announced a campaign that encourages users to switch over to <em>Sensaku Sangokushi<\/em>. Less than a week has passed, and those transferred users are once again left with nowhere to go. It\u2019s quite rare for a game to end its service like this, and I wonder if they intend to explain what actually happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">4\/20(\u6c34)15:00\u3092\u3082\u3061\u307e\u3057\u3066\u300c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%82%B5%E3%83%B4%E3%82%A7%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B8%E3%83%BB%E3%82%AD%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u30b5\u30f4\u30a7\u30fc\u30b8\u30fb\u30ad\u30f3\u30b0<\/a>\u300d\u306e\u30b5\u30fc\u30d3\u30b9\u3092\u7d42\u4e86\u3055\u305b\u3066\u3044\u305f\u3060\u304d\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<br><br>\u9577\u304d\u306b\u4e98\u308b\u3054\u611b\u9867\u306b\u5fc3\u3088\u308a\u611f\u8b1d\u7533\u3057\u4e0a\u3052\u307e\u3059\u3002<br><br>\u3055\u3066 \u9aa8\u592a\u306aSLG\u3092\u304a\u671b\u307f\u306e\u7686\u69d8\u306b\u300c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E6%88%A6%E7%AD%96%E4%B8%89%E5%9B%BD%E5%BF%97?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u6226\u7b56\u4e09\u56fd\u5fd7<\/a>\u300d\u3092\u304a\u52e7\u3081\u81f4\u3057\u307e\u3059\u30024\u6708\u672b\u307e\u3067\u306b\u59cb\u3081\u3066\u9802\u304f\u3068\u3001\u30ac\u30c1\u30e3\u5238\u542b\u3080\u8c6a\u83ef\u7279\u5178\u3092\u5dee\u3057\u4e0a\u3052\u307e\u3059\u3002<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/y5Nwqflhkg\">https:\/\/t.co\/y5Nwqflhkg<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/d5qnBVVUvy\">pic.twitter.com\/d5qnBVVUvy<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u3010\u516c\u5f0f\u3011\u30b5\u30f4\u30a7\u30fc\u30b8\u30fb\u30ad\u30f3\u30b0 (@2019SavageKing) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/2019SavageKing\/status\/1516667261825601541?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 20, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fatal server failure causes Sensaku Sangokushi (\u6226\u7b56\u4e09\u56fd\u5fd7) , a Three Kingdoms themed game, to end service in Japan 5 months after launch. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":11926,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-11923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
