Aiming has announced that it will shut down the Nintendo Switch version of Caravan Stories on Thursday, June 13, 2024, at 11 AM JST. The company has also immediately stopped sales of premium gold and gems on the platform. However, it will continue to hold seasonal events until the end-of-service date.
Aiming first revealed the Switch version of Caravan Stories in late November 2020. The company eventually released that version on March 18, 2021, although it is only available in the Japanese language. That means the Switch version has run for slightly over three years by the time Aiming made this end-of-service announcement.
Caravan Stories first appeared on PC, iOS, and Android mobile devices in Japan in late November 2017. Aiming later worked with Sony Interactive Entertainment to bring the online game to PlayStation 4 internationally to East and Southeast Asia in April 2019, and North America in September 2019.
Aiming only supports save data linkage between the PC and mobile versions. Players on the Switch version cannot transfer their data to other platforms, so it will be completely lost after the shutdown. In addition, the company will not support refunds for unused premium gold and gems purchased in the Switch version.
Caravan Stories is still available on PC, iOS, Android, and PlayStation 4 for the foreseeable future. The online game will no longer be available on Nintendo Switch after June 13, 2024.
