The PlayStation 4 version of free-to-play massively multiplayer online RPG Caravan Stories will end service on March 13, 2025 at 11:00 JST, publisher Aiming and developer Team Caravan announced.
Caravan Stories first launched on April 10, 2019 in Japan and Asia, followed by September 10, 2019 in North America. It will have run for just under six years when service ends.
A Switch version of Caravan Stories was released in Japan on March 18, 2021, but ended service just over three years later on June 13, 2024. A global version was never released.
The PC, iOS, and Android versions of Caravan Stories, which are available in Japan and Asia, will not be affected by the PlayStation 4 version’s closure.
