Sony recently announced that the PlayStation Vita free-to-play RPG Destiny of Spirits will be shutting down on June 30 in all territories. However, the company wants to give players a chance to enjoy the game as much as they can before it shuts down via a fan appreciation campaign, which will run until the end of June. Writing on the PlayStation blog, Associate Producer Olivier Banal detailed the events included in the campaign as follows:

Users continue to express their disappointment over the game being taken offline. Understandably, some questioned why Sony would encourage any further in-game purchases. Banal responded to this by stating that the Orbs discount is a “small gesture for anyone who would want to top up their Orbs before they play through the events of the new campaign.”
In the same blog post, Banal confirmed that Destiny of Spirits is being shut down permanently and that the fan appreciation campaign is a “final flourish for the fans to enjoy before the game is shut down.”
