Bless Unleashed server shutdown set for November
“Since 2020, we have been partnering with Round8 to publish Bless Unleashed and have enjoyed spending time with great players,” said the team. “Unfortunately, this event will end soon. Our contract with Round8 has ended and we will no longer be able to continue supporting the game.
“This was a difficult decision for us, but we plan to shut down the servers at the end of November.”
From September 1st, you will not be able to purchase “Lumina and other items” from the Xbox store. On the same day, all items in the in-game Lumina Shop will be discounted to 1 Lumina. The team says it will continue to run in-game GM events until the servers are shut down.
Bless Unleashed seems like a tricky and time-consuming completion. Of his 25,000 users tracked by TrueAcheivements, only 56 of him were able to unlock all 43 of his Bless Unleashed achievements. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough data to provide a completion estimate, but it looks like it takes hundreds of hours to fully process 1,000G.
