Square Enix has announced that the next season of Foamstars Party Goes On! will be the last season the game will receive. The season will begin from December 13 to January 17. It will include several gameplay improvements. “Expansions will be introduced to enhance gameplay, such as the ability to customize shots of each character, and new enhancement elements, such as Prism Gems, all aimed at ensuring players can continue to enjoy the game for the foreseeable future.” Additionally, all online services will stay active after the season concludes.
The full message regarding the news:
Following the “PARTY GOES ON!” season taking place from December 13, 2024 (Friday) to January 17, 2025 (Friday), season updates for FOAMSTARS will be coming to an end.
In this concluding update, expansions will be introduced to enhance gameplay, such as the ability to customize shots of each character, and new enhancement elements, such as Prism Gems, all aimed at ensuring players can continue to enjoy the game for the foreseeable future.
All online services will remain available after the “PARTY GOES ON!” season ends. In addition, we plan to hold the FOAMSTARS CUP, a series of in-game events named after each character.
Furthermore, to ensure that new players can fully enjoy FOAMSTARS, previous Season Passes will be made available again. Players can switch between Season Passes at any time to proceed along the Season Pass track of your choice and obtain items from past seasons. This will make it possible for players to obtain all the items from each season.
