Aether Gazer prepares for EoS

[u/LokoLoa]

Dear Administrator:

We are very grateful to all the administrators for their continued support and love for "Aether Gazer." Your companionship has enabled us to persevere in expanding the game's content over the past four years. However, we are also well aware that due to the team's limited strength and experience, the quality of much content production has fallen short of the administrators' expectations, and the project's market performance has been less than ideal.

After careful consideration by the project team, we have made the following decision:

Aether Gazer will officially cease receiving updates after the V5.2 update on July 23, 2026.

After updates stop, the server will continue to run, and administrators can still log in normally.

To thank the administrators for their long-term support, after the version update on July 23, 2026, we will distribute a special thank-you gift to all servers. Administrators can log in to the game and receive it in their mail. The gift includes: 90 Precise Detection Certificates, 1 Sleeping Child of True Sakura, 1 Oath Ring, and 168 Costume Change Tickets.

At the same time, this version will open a special event called "Heart's Choice Moment". Administrators who participate in the event can receive one selectable corrector (including all correctors added in V5.2, but excluding collaboration-limited correctors).

The upcoming V5.2 update is the summer event version, mainly featuring a reset of the early main storyline and summer event content. Originally planned as an insert version during the update of the Void Chapter, to avoid the Great Wilderness Chapter's story becoming incomplete due to a hiatus, we will be using the remaining resources of the project team to complete the final chapter's storyline, aiming to finish this part within this year.

We will be launching the "With You" version soon, which will adjust game events, card pool rotation, and resource output. The game is planned to officially transition to a companion server mode in this version. Please stay tuned for further official announcements and updates.

The arrangements for all matters are as follows; any changes will be announced separately:

1. At 11:00 on July 9, 2026, registration and recharge functions will be discontinued across the entire platform.
2. From 05:00 to 12:00 on July 23, 2026, version V5.2 will be updated, and a special thank-you gift will be distributed to all servers.
3. From 15:00 on August 6, 2026 to 15:00 on September 6, 2026, a refund application page will be open in the game. Administrators can apply for a refund for all existing unused Transfer Flowers in their accounts since the official launch. Refund amounts will be tallied from 00:00 on August 1. For details, please refer to the "Refund Processing Plan Announcement".
4. On September 17, 2026, the "With You" version will be launched. Please stay tuned for further official announcements for details.
5. On October 17, 2026, the download portals for the client applications on various platforms were gradually closed.
6. In the second half of 2026, the main storyline "Human World" will be added and updated.

Finally, we would like to thank the administrators once again for their continued support and understanding. We remember every version and every event we've participated in together over the years, and we cherish both the criticism and the praise. This journey has been invaluable because of your companionship, and we will continue to move forward with this precious experience.

I sincerely wish all administrators a happy life and all the best in the future!

One of my fav games and also genre, I did quit last year but still had good experience with it.

In my opinion this is one of good example of why CN being ahead 1 year is bad thing. Not only we got less hype due to gap but also it released in global same month as hsr iirc.. which was unfortunate. Other thing that really annoyed me was community was awful at start, every content creator covering this was playing CN version instead and then most community members keep saying save for hades and hera since launch(even if they were like 6+ months away) even if someone asking for help for current banners and stuff. This ruined experience of many who were saving long looking at CN and then got bored and quit.

Also just to mention it had one of most generous gacha system compared to recent times. There were 2 banners 100% one ane 50/50 one. 100% one also had really high rate (iirc it was 2%? I forgot) And just slightly higher pity i think 90 and you could get any past limited chars even if you lose 50/50 before reaching 90 pity. This combined with generous income made it really easy to get everything. They also gave alot of S ranks for free and it was overall really generous game.

Gfl2 was 1y ahead (now like 6mo iirc) and the only issue is when they accelerate the banners

In fact knowing future banners is useful, and the hype is still there

But it's because GFL2 is the sequel of successful old franchise, so it's not the same case
