Delisting
The original Japanese PC version of Shin Sangoku Musou Online was the first to be rendered unplayable when, on July 18th, 2013 the ‘Z’ update replaced large portions of the game’s content, gameplay, and title. Apparently unwilling or unable to support a localized version of the ‘Z’ update, Aeria Games announced on December 10th, 2013 that the English language version of Dynasty Warriors Online would shut down on January 10th, 2014.
A new PlayStation 3 version of Shin Sangoku Musou Online Z was released on February 20th, 2014. It is uncertain but likely that the original version of Shin Sangoku Musou Online became unplayable on PlayStation 3 by this date.
