The good news is, it’s not all gone when it comes to the game, as NDcube is working on another version, which will be released shortly after the initial closing.

Players will be able to transfer their data from the current version to the upcoming one. Hence, it’s necessary to link your current game account to a Nintendo account so that you can transfer the data automatically. It’s also worth pointing out that the new game won’t have any microtransactions, but players will lose Leaf Tickets or any subscription in the current game.
