Vizta to pull Silver and Blood, ACECRAFT offline Jan 21

Vizta announced Jan 19 that its mobile titles Silver and Blood and ACECRAFT: Sky Hero will be taken offline for major infrastructure updates beginning Jan 21, 2026. The developer expects the maintenance window to last three to five business days, with exact reopening tied to how quickly the updates progress.

During the offline window the games will be temporarily removed from the US Google Play and Apple App Store listings for affected accounts. Players in the US will not be able to download, update, log in, or complete purchases while the titles are offline. Vizta said it will provide daily compensation for each affected day and additional compensation once services resume.

This is a significant live ops interruption for both player communities. Removing a live service from store listings blocks new installs, prevents patch delivery, and cuts off in-game purchases that many daily users rely on. If you have planned microtransactions, ongoing event participation, or subscription-based services tied to either title, treat those plans as paused until Vizta confirms services are back online.

Practical steps for players include checking account region settings to confirm whether your account is among those affected and holding off on in-app purchases or subscription changes until the maintenance completes. Keep receipts or purchase confirmations handy in case you need to report interrupted transactions to support. Expect the developer to post daily updates and compensation details through its usual channels; track those notices closely so you can claim any reimbursements or bonus items promised for downtime.

Context matters for regional players. Vizta called this an infrastructure update and has not framed the downtime as a regulatory action. The company’s move follows past instances where multiple titles were simultaneously removed from store listings in the region, but the current announcement is positioned as technical maintenance rather than compliance-driven enforcement.

For community organizers and streamers, factor this offline window into event scheduling and tournament runs. For casual players, the interruption is likely to be a temporary pause in progression and shop access that Vizta aims to offset with daily and post-resumption compensation. Watch for the company’s update on reopening; the three to five business day estimate gives a target, but the live ops community should prepare for variability as the team validates the infrastructure changes.

What comes next is straightforward: monitor Vizta’s official updates, avoid purchases during the blackout, and expect compensation for affected days once services return.
