The announcement comes less than three months after the title\u2019s initial release on Steam and mobile platforms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With an original concept, OST and character designs by Too Kyo Games (home to Danganronpa developers Kazutaka Kodaka, Rui Komatsuzaki and Masafumi Takada), Tribe Nine released on February 19. The RPG came off to a somewhat rocky start due to complaints about its gacha mechanics, but it <a href=\"https:\/\/xn--a%20gacha%20game%20that%20actually%20listens%20to%20players,%20tribe%20nine%20steam%20reviews%20bounce%20back%20after%20synchro%20system%20overhaul-vw19g8f\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recovered in popularity significantly<\/a> after a large-scale update that <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/tribe-nine-to-overhaul-gacha-system-dropping-genshin-like-format-in-favor-of-higher-drop-rates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">improved pull-rates and other parameters<\/a>. &nbsp;<\/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=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">[Important] End of Service Announcement<br><br>Thank you for your continued support of TRIBE NINE.<br><br>We regret to inform you that service for TRIBE NINE will be terminated on November 27th, 2025 JST.<br><br>Since the game&#39;s launch, the development and operations teams have strived to provide\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KBxF3JKzKV\">pic.twitter.com\/KBxF3JKzKV<\/a><\/p>&mdash; TRIBE NINE Official (@tribenine_en) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tribenine_en\/status\/1922910215219053052?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 15, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, despite the turnaround, it seems Tribe Nine will be prematurely discontinued. The previously announced Chapter 4 of the story and new characters Ichinosuke Akiba and Saizo Akiba will not be coming out. Akatsuki Games has not given a specific reason for the decision to end the game, but it\u2019s possible that with the revised pull rates, Tribe Nine was having trouble generating revenue from microtransactions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tribe Nine is scheduled to be terminated on Novermber 27, 2025.
