FUME OTN - Fans of the Love Live! franchise particularly loyal supporters of the Hasunosora Girls' High School Idol Club must now face a harsh reality. The Japanese game developer and publisher ODD No has officially announced a surprising decision regarding the future of its application.

The offline version of the mobile game Link! Like! Love Live! is set to be completely removed from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. This termination of access is scheduled to take place simultaneously on October 30, 2026, at 12:00 PM JST (Japan Standard Time).

This drastic decision was not made without cause; the extreme measure became necessary due to the company's collapsing financial situation. ODD No has reportedly entered bankruptcy proceedings after accumulating massive debts estimated at 10.32 billion yen (equivalent to approximately IDR 1 trillion). This bankruptcy was triggered by ballooning project operating costs that the game's revenue failed to sustainably offset.

An Ambitious Concept Leading to Financial Trouble

Since its launch in May 2023, Link! Like! Love Live! stood out as one of the most revolutionary mobile game projects under the Love Live! banner. The game offered a unique hybrid concept, blending deck-building mechanics, rhythm gameplay, virtual streaming, and a real-time calendar system.

Through this calendar system, the storyline, school life, and the growth of the idol characters unfolded in sync with real-world time, spanning the full 365 days of the year.

However, maintaining this immersive real-time experience required massive daily production costs. The continuous full-voice recording process and the use of 3D motion capture technology for weekly virtual concerts demanded enormous funding.

This excessive daily operational burden, combined with a less-than-aggressive monetization strategy, ultimately drove the company toward bankruptcy. The game's online service had already been discontinued in late June 2026.

Important Guide to Saving Game Data

Unlike the typical policies regarding mobile game discontinuation, the offline version of Link! Like! Love Live! will leave no digital trace once the specified deadline passes.

This means that after October 30, 2026, users will no longer be able to re-download the game via their Google Play or App Store purchase history. If the app is deleted from the device, the game will be lost forever.

Nevertheless, the developers are offering one final opportunity for players who wish to preserve their memories with Hasunosora. To ensure the offline version remains accessible in the future, players must launch the app and perform a full download of all digital asset data before October 30, 2026.

Provided that all data files and internal assets are successfully stored on the mobile device's memory before the deadline, the offline version of the app will remain playable without an internet connection.

However, please note that the service for generating account link passwords will close earlier, on October 20, 2026. Therefore, fans are advised to secure their data promptly before all official access is permanently shut down.
