Survival Project

Currently, all versions of the game have shut down, with the South Korean version having shut down last on February 24, 2013.

Lost Saga in the Western Market

North American Lost Saga (NALS) was hosted by Z8Games for Canadian and American users, with availability on Steam. The service was shut down on September 13, 2019, with no indication on whether or not the closing would be permanent. However, in February of 2021, a company called Papaya Play emerged with an announcement that they would be taking over the service for NALS, bringing the game back to the market. Their tenure began with a closed beta that started and ended the same month. However, less than 24 hours before official launch, it was announced by Papaya Play that they would not be launching the game after all, citing issues with the native developers of the game. This effectively kept Papaya Play's version of NALS from ever getting out of beta. Lost Saga has not been launched in the western market since, keeping Z8Games as NALS' last official host. Prior to Z8Games' tenure, NALS was hosted by both WeMade USA and OGPlanet, both of whom shut down and transferred their service of NALS during different parts of 2013.

South American Lost Saga (SALS) was hosted by Softnyx, until it shut down on July 31, 2015. SALS serviced the Latin American region, which included South America, Central America, The Caribbean's, and Mexico. Brazil was removed from the service region due to poor connection speeds, and difficulties of communication with the otherwise majority Spanish speaking players.
