The mobile strategy tower defense game, Code Geass: Lost Stories, is ending its global run. While the Japanese version will continue, the global servers will shut down on August 29th, 2024. This means players will no longer be able to access their accounts after that date, and official social media channels will also close.
Developed by f4samurai and DMM Games, and published by Komoe, the game launched globally in September 2023, falling short of its first anniversary. Beginning immediately, in-app purchases and new downloads are disabled.
The reasons for the closure remain unstated by the developers, but low download numbers and generally unfavorable global reviews likely contributed to the decision. Many licensed anime gacha games struggle to maintain player bases outside Japan due to lower spending habits in other regions.
Despite its short lifespan globally, the game maintains a following in Japan, where it remains available on the Google Play Store. For those interested in experiencing the game, it's still accessible to Japanese players.
