2.5 Dimensional Seduction: Angels on Stage, the cosplay-themed battle RPG based on the popular anime 2.5 Dimensional Seduction, has officially ended its global service. The announcement was made by iming Inc., confirming that the game is no longer available as of January 14, 2026.
Global Service Shutdown Confirmed
The end-of-service announcement was shared by the RiriStage development team through X (formerly Twitter). In their statement, the developers thanked players for their support but did not provide a clear explanation for the shutdown.
“We sincerely thank all players for enjoying and supporting this game.”
Despite being released in September 2024, the game failed to reach its second anniversary on the global server, joining a growing list of anime-based gacha titles that have recently ended service.
About 2.5 Dimensional Seduction: Angels on Stage
Developed by Team Caravan, this title was the first game adaptation of the anime. Players followed Masamune Okumura and Ririsa Amano as they bonded over their shared love for Liliel through cosplay.
The game featured:
- Cosplay-based battle gameplay
- Posing mechanics to charm audiences
- Group photo shoots
- Character bonding systems
- A game-exclusive spin-off story
JP Server Still Active, But With Limitations
There is both good and bad news for fans. While the Japanese server remains active, players from the global version are unable to transfer their data to the JP server.
Additionally, the developers are not offering refunds or an offline version of the game, which has further disappointed the community.
Fan Reactions and Community Backlash
Many fans expressed frustration online, with some openly asking the developers to migrate EN accounts to the JP version. Others were surprised by the announcement, stating they did not even realize the game existed until the shutdown news surfaced.
The situation highlights ongoing challenges faced by anime-based gacha games, as multiple titles struggle to maintain long-term sustainability in an increasingly competitive market.
Final Thoughts
The sudden shutdown of 2.5 Dimensional Seduction: Angels on Stage is another reminder of how fragile live-service mobile games can be. While fans can still experience the game on the JP server, the lack of account migration or refunds has left a sour taste for many global players.
As more titles announce EOS in recent months, it remains to be seen how developers will adapt to keep anime-based gacha games alive in the future.
