Fans of the strategic tower defense game Code Geass: Lost Stories, based on the beloved anime and manga franchise Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, will be saddened to learn that the global mobile version is set to shut down. While the Japanese version will continue its journey, global players must bid farewell to the game. Developed by f4samurai and DMM Games and published by Komoe, Code Geass: Lost Stories was launched globally in September 2023 but will not see its first anniversary.
When Is It Shutting Down?
Code Geass: Lost Stories will cease operations on August 29th, 2024. Players have until this date to enjoy the game, as access to accounts will be terminated afterward. The game's official global social media accounts will also close on the same day. As of today, new downloads and in-game purchases are no longer available. Despite its closure in global markets, the game continues to thrive among Japanese players.
Why Is Code Geass: Lost Stories Shutting Down?
Despite blending RPG, action, and tower defense elements within the framework of a popular anime, Code Geass: Lost Stories has decided to shut down its global version. While the developers have not explicitly stated the reasons, it's clear that low download numbers and less favorable reviews contributed to this decision. Many licensed anime gacha games struggle to retain a significant player base outside of Japan, where spending habits are more favorable. Thus, the early shutdown of Code Geass: Lost Stories might not come as a shock to industry observers.
For those in Japan interested in experiencing the game, it remains available on the Google Play Store. Meanwhile, don't miss out on our other exciting news, including the launch of the Tournament of Triumph in Sky: Children of the Light!
