In a move that is almost certainly unprecedented, the global launch date and end of service date for the new Love Live! mobile game were announced in a single tweet. The game in question is Love Live! School idol festival 2 MIRACLE LIVE!, and many fans outside of Japan have been waiting almost a year for the global release. Well, they’re getting it soon, but the game’s closure won’t be far behind.
The official Twitter confirmed plans to launch the global versions of Love Live! School idol festival 2 MIRACLE LIVE! in February 2024. In that very same tweet, embedded below, they announced plans to take global versions offline on May 31, 2024. Sounds like you better hurry up and play as much as you possibly can once it launches!

The March 31 closure matches the date of the Japanese end of service, which will close after less than a year of being online. Hey, that beats closing after just a few months, right?
For those who want to play during this fleeting period, pre-registration is now open on iOS and Android. Like the game itself, in-app purchases will no longer be available as of May 31.
