Online support for arcade version ending

[Seraphim_Rez]

Square Enix has announced that online support for the arcade version of Dissidia Final Fantasy will be ending on April 1st 2021.

 

Square is encouraging players to migrate to the console version and will allow the transfer of play data from January 23rd to April 30th.

 

Back in February, it was announced in a live stream, that all versions of Dissidia would no longer receive updates and new content.

 

If you are currently working on this game or planning to, it would be a good idea to make it a priority.

NT doesn't have servers, it is P2P. It can't go offline since it's never really online.
