The curtains are drawing to a close for Code Geass: Lost Stories, the strategic tower defense game inspired by the iconic anime and manga series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. While the global mobile version is set to shut down, fans in Japan can continue to enjoy the ongoing saga of the game.
Developed by f4samurai and DMM Games and published by Komoe, Code Geass: Lost Stories was brought to the global audience in September 2023. Unfortunately, it couldn't celebrate its first anniversary, marking a brief journey for global players.
When Is It Shutting Down?
Code Geass: Lost Stories will cease operations globally on August 29th, 2024. Players have until this date to savor the remaining moments in the game, as access to accounts will be terminated afterward. Additionally, the game's official global social media accounts will also shut down on the same day.
As of today, new downloads and in-game purchases are no longer available. Despite its global closure, the game continues to thrive among its dedicated player base in Japan.
Why Is Code Geass: Lost Stories Shutting Down?
Blending RPG, action, and tower defense elements, Code Geass: Lost Stories drew from the rich world of a beloved anime. However, despite its promising premise, the game is set to close its global servers. While the developers have not disclosed specific reasons, the decision seems influenced by several factors.
The game experienced low download numbers and received lukewarm reviews globally. Licensed anime gacha games often face challenges in retaining a robust player base outside Japan, where spending patterns are more favorable. Thus, the early shutdown of Code Geass: Lost Stories may 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.
