Fans of the strategic tower defense game Code Geass: Lost Stories, based on the beloved anime and manga series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, will be disappointed to learn that the game's global mobile version is set to shut down. While the Japanese version will continue to run, the global servers are scheduled for closure. Developed by f4samurai and DMM Games, and published by Komoe, the game made its global debut in September 2023 but won't celebrate its first anniversary.
When Is It Shutting Down?
Code Geass: Lost Stories will officially shut down on August 29th, 2024. Players have until this date to enjoy the game, as access to accounts will be terminated afterward. The game's global social media accounts will also cease operations on the same day. From today, new downloads and in-game purchases are no longer available. Despite its struggles globally, the game continues to thrive among its Japanese audience.
Why Is Code Geass: Lost Stories Shutting Down?
The game, which blends RPG, action, and tower defense elements inspired by a popular anime, faces closure. While the developers have not explicitly stated the reasons, the underlying factors are clear. Code Geass: Lost Stories experienced low download numbers and received lukewarm reviews globally. Licensed anime gacha games often find it challenging to retain a player base outside of Japan, where spending habits are more favorable. Thus, the shutdown of Code Geass: Lost Stories comes as no surprise.
However, if you're located in Japan and curious about the game, you can still download it from the Google Play Store.
