Fellow Moon to shut down in Japan on July 23, 2026, no global release planned

Fellow Moon is running out of road in Japan, and when the servers go dark on July 23, 2026 at 10:00 JST, there will be no offline version waiting on the other side. Garena’s shutdown notice also makes the immediate cutoff clear: after maintenance for the “Return of Dawn” update, new user registration and in-game purchases stop, which means any paid currency still sitting in an account becomes a dead-end unless it is eligible for refund.

The practical survival checklist is straightforward. Keep logging in while the service is still live, because the official notice says players can continue to play, collect bonus rewards, and use the exchange shop during the shutdown period. Stage-by-stage bonus rewards run through July 8, 2026, then weekly rewards continue from July 9 until service ends. If you still have items to convert or rewards to claim, this is the window that matters. Once the server closes, the city of Nanting and its faction fights disappear with it.

Refunds are the other key deadline. Processing for unused paid currency begins on July 23, 2026, runs through October 30, 2026, and is expected to be completed by December 31, 2026. Only unused paid currency balances are eligible, and players need account details, including their UID and nickname, to file. If you bought currency and left some of it untouched, that is the money to track first.

The closure lands harder because Fellow Moon already looked like a game with room to grow. The supernatural strategy RPG had launched in Japan on August 7, 2025, with pre-download opening on August 6, after a closed beta test and a Japanese rollout on Google Play and the App Store. Before that, the project had already moved through a public beta in China, a final CBT in Korea and Taiwan, and later a regional release, but it never reached a true global launch. A December 14, 2025 Japanese update note then confirmed that the China version had stopped updates and that future development on the project as a whole would cease, while Japan would continue on a preset schedule to deliver the remaining content.

That makes the July 23 shutdown feel less like a regional footnote and more like the final chapter. Fellow Moon had the art direction and urban paranormal hook to stand out, but once China stopped moving and Japan was left to finish the remaining schedule, the end was already in sight. For mobile RPG players, especially outside Japan, the lesson is brutal and familiar: a promising gacha can still vanish before it ever gets the chance to go wide.
