Code Geass Returns with Mobile Finale

The strategic tower defense game, Code Geass: Lost Stories, is ending its global mobile run. While the Japanese version will continue, the global servers are officially shutting down on August 29th, 2024. This means no new downloads, in-app purchases, or logins will be possible after this date. The game's global social media presence will also cease on the same day.

Developed by f4samurai and DMM Games, and published by Komoe, based on the popular Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion franchise, the game launched globally in September 2023, falling short of its first anniversary.

Reasons for Shutdown:

While official reasons haven't been explicitly stated, low download numbers and generally unfavorable global reviews likely contributed to the decision. Many licensed anime gacha games struggle to maintain a substantial player base outside Japan, where player spending tends to be higher. The game's blend of RPG, action, and tower defense elements, while appealing to some, apparently wasn't enough to overcome these challenges.

Japanese players can still access the game via the Google Play Store. For those looking for alternative gaming experiences, be sure to check out our other news, including the exciting Sky: Children of the Light Tournament of Triumph!
