*** The game was pulled out of app stores a week later on September 7th though. Although the official reason for this was due to "technical upgrades", fans speculate that it was due to bilibili not complying with Chinese censorship laws. The game has not returned to app stores as of June 2024, and although the game can still be played if downloaded during the first week, as the game can't push updates through app stores, so the server has been stuck on the URA training scenario and with rerunning events and banners. | *** The game was pulled out of app stores a week later on September 7th though.
