SHIFT UP Corporation has made an announcement stating that Destiny Child will be discontinuing all of its services on September 21, 2023, at 2:00 am (UTC+0).
The Destiny Child's official Twitter and official website both released the announcement.
Destiny Child Service Termination Schedule
In the blog post, SHIFT UP provides a breakdown of when their services will be discontinued as outlined below:

- Termination of game service – 21st September 2023 at 2: 00 am (UTC+0)
- Termination of official communities – 31st October 2023
SHIFT UP also mentions that on September 22, 2023, there will be an update called 'Destiny Child: Memorial' released after the termination of services.
According to reports, the Memorial update will enable players to play the game offline and retain their game progress. This means they can still access and appreciate the Childs they have collected as well as enjoy the stories even after the service discontinues.
To use the "Memorial" feature, players must connect their account through the game's Settings after the server maintenance on August 17th, 2023. It is important to do this before the game services end.
SHIFT UP is planning to host an online concert in memory of Destiny's Child. The concert will be accessible through different platforms, allowing players to reminisce about their game experiences while enjoying live performances.
Further details about account linking and the Memorial Concert will be disclosed in due course.
Future Service Plan
The game's upcoming service plan has indicated that updates will continue to be released until the server shutdown date.
According to SHIFT UP, any event that was planned before this announcement will still be released as scheduled without any modifications until the service ends. Furthermore, players will receive daily complimentary rewards through the mail in the form of gems, gold, stamina, and premium summon tickets. Until the game concludes, Lan Fei's Shop will offer all packages at no cost and they can be obtained by players without any restrictions.
Destiny Child is set to bring back some of its most popular events in the upcoming 17th August update. Specific information about these reruns will be shared in a separate notice. SHIFT UP Corporation conveyed their appreciation for the backing received from players throughout the previous six years.
