Cross Gate

On June 27, 2007, Square Enix announced that service of Cross Gate in Japan will be terminated on September 30, 2007. This will not affect the servers in China, Taiwan and Korea. The sequel to the game, Concerto Gate, has finished its testing phase in Japan, but as of 2025 was not officially released. While a modest success in Japan, the game had endured great popularity and a consistent following in Greater China. Square Enix of China licensed numerous mobile versions to Chinese and Taiwanese developers, including Cross Gate M in 2019, Cross Gate: New World in 2022 and Cross Gate: Rebirth in 2025. The former ceased operations in 2022, causing an outraged player to unsuccessfully sue publisher Gamania. Cross Gate uses a traditional Japanese anime style and 2D graphics system with player characters pre-rendered in 3D. The battle style is turn-based, resembling the Dragon Quest series, and players may choose to team up to a maximum of five players.
