Indonesian game developer Agate delayed the launch of the mobile RPG Code Atma today due to an “overwhelming player interest.”
In an email send to media, Agate’s PR representative stated the developer delayed the title at the eleventh hour because of the immense amount of players that were hoping to play today. Agate was originally expecting a “strong first day.” However, the servers for the global versions had to be shut down while engineers upgrade them.
The developer hopes to have its servers ready for all fans who want to join in at least a week. A new release date has not yet been confirmed.
Agate also stated the “Mythical Bootcamp” event will be extended right after the game launches in regions such as North America, Europe and others. Players will receive various bonus items “once the Global servers return.”
The temporary shutdown does not affects gamers in Southern Asian.
Fans may be able to download the game at the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
Check out the email written by Agate’s Chief Marketing Officer Igor Tanzil:
The Agate team and I would like to issue an official statement of apology for the server-side issues many of you are experiencing. In short, we were simply not ready for the influx of new users that game at our global launch and our immediate efforts to deploy new server locations had not been successful. Our troubleshooting has indicated that the issues might be a lot more serious than expected and will likely affect all users in the North American and European servers.
We have made the difficult decision to hold Code Atma’s launch in those regions until we are able to ensure the smooth gameplay experience you deserve. Effective immediately, all new launch servers across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa will be closed. South-East Asian servers will remain open for the time being unless new issues arise.
There are simply no excuses to be made on our end and we hope to rectify our server deficiencies in the coming days and deliver to you the amazing game we know we have at hand.

[Code Atma] is a narrative-driven mobile RPG set in a gritty world of inspired urban fantasy. Players take up the role of a Seeker, a modern-day spiritualist armed with a techno-magical phone app that lets you see, command and summon Atma; spirits and monsters of Southeast Asian legend existing on the fringes of our perception.
