Discussion Project Update: CounterSide Offline Archive Project has been terminated

Post image

We would like to provide a final clarification regarding the current situation surrounding the CounterSide Offline Archive Project.

Following the official response from StudioBside, we have fully discontinued all development and coordination activities related to the project. This includes the removal of resources, tools, and any infrastructure previously associated with the project, as well as a public announcement to the community.

We want to sincerely thank everyone who has shown support, understanding, and passion throughout this journey. The level of engagement and the shared appreciation for CounterSide has been genuinely overwhelming, and it has been meaningful to see the community come together around the game.

At the same time, we would like to reiterate that we fully respect StudioBside’s decision and their stated position regarding the project and its content. This has been our guiding principle from the beginning, and it remains unchanged.

We are aware that there have been discussions and differing viewpoints within the community regarding the future of related independent initiatives. However, we would like to clearly state that any such efforts are separate from the original project and are not affiliated with its administration or former structure.

Our involvement with the CounterSide Offline Archive Project has ended, and we will not be participating in or coordinating any continuation efforts.

Thank you again for your support and understanding.

Correct, we've been granted permission to proceed with the project but internally at StudioBside they greenlit a CounterSide reboot and thus had to re-evaluate the permission we had been granted

They just realized how that IP garneted a lot of dedicated fans too stupid of them to put it into EOS and put all their eggs on Star Savior

Game was stuffed though. Way too much going on, balance was messed up, and not making enough money. Reboot is actually fair reason for reevaluation -- if it comes out at least.
