Border Break Announcement – May 15, 2023

Border Break producer, Momekei, followed up the news with a post of their own offering a few more thoughts on the series and the PlayStation 4 release.

Hello everyone. I’m Momekei, the producer of “BORDER BREAK”. Thank you for always playing “BORDER BREAK”.

We have important news for you today. The PS4™ version of “BORDER BREAK” will end its service on September 9, 2023, the 14th anniversary of the series.

Since the service started on August 2, 2018, we have continued to develop and operate with the goal of continuing to provide the battlefield of “BORDER BREAK” where everyone gathers for as long as possible. It’s getting harder to maintain, and that’s why I made this decision.

We apologize from the bottom of our hearts to all of you who have been with us so far for this disappointing report. Since the start of the service, I think that there have been many inconveniences for everyone due to the lack of development and management.

Even in such a situation, we received many opinions, suggestions, and words of encouragement from everyone, and each of them supported the operation. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported us thus far, including the arcade version.

I’m really thankful to you. Although the operation period is less than four months, we will work together as a team to deliver the best service to everyone.

Producer Momekei post – May 15, 2023
