Counter:Side: Beyond the End (often stylized as COUNTER:SIDE, previously subtitled Administration Licensed) is a Korean mobile gacha Science Fantasy RPG, produced by Studiobside. The original Korean server debuted with Nexon as publisher on February 4, 2020. A Southeast Asian version, encompassing most ASEAN nations, with text available in English and Thai, and technically playable from anywhere in the world due to a lack of true region locking, was published by Zlong Games and released May 17th, 2021. A Japanese version with added Japanese voiceovers was released by Nexon Japan on December 16, 2021. The official Global version, published by Studiobside themselves and with not only English, French, German, and Korean text but also Korean, English and Japanese voiceovers, was released on May 26, 2022, with a Steam PC client released on September 1. An update then merged the JP and GBL servers together after Studiobside was able to take over as publisher for the three regions.
