Square Enix has just announced that they’ll be wrapping up all future season updates for Foamstars, and this is happening way sooner than anyone expected-on January 17th. The last hurrah will coincide with the conclusion of the “Party Goes On!” season, so let’s immerse into what that means for players!
The studio shared a post on the game’s website, detailing their plans for this final update. Players can look forward to some cool features aimed at upping the gameplay experience! We’re talking about customizable shots for each character. Awesome, is that? Plus, there’ll be various enhancement elements to spice things up!
But here’s where it gets interesting: Square Enix reassured us that even after “Party Goes On!” wraps up, all online services will still be live. They’re also planning a series of in-game events dubbed the Foamstars Cup, themed around each character. Sounds like there’ll still be plenty of action to keep us engaged!
If you’ve been worried about missing out on past content, fear not! The developers are bringing back previous Season Passes so new players can snag everything they’ve missed. You’ll have the flexibility to switch between Season Passes whenever you want, talk about player-friendly moves!
Foamstars, which launched exclusively on PlayStation in February 2024, didn’t quite make waves initially but leaped into the free-to-play realm this October to attract more players. It’s a classic case of adapting to survive in today’s competitive gaming landscape.
This announcement raises some eyebrows though, what does this mean for future content and player retention? While it’s great we have these final features and events coming our way, one has to wonder if this early end signifies bigger issues within development or community engagement.
