The curtain is falling on the global version of 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 game's journey ends for players outside Japan, the Japanese version will continue to thrive. Developed by f4samurai and DMM Games, and published by Komoe, the game made its global debut in September 2023 but won't see its first anniversary.
When Is It Shutting Down?
Code Geass: Lost Stories will officially cease operations on August 29th, 2024. Players have until this date to immerse themselves in the game one last time, as access to accounts will be terminated thereafter. The game's global social media accounts will also shut down on the same day. As of now, downloads and in-game purchases are no longer available. Although the game struggled to retain a global audience, it continues to captivate players in Japan.
Why Is Code Geass: Lost Stories Shutting Down?
Despite blending RPG, action, and tower defense elements with a beloved anime franchise, Code Geass: Lost Stories is closing its doors. Although the developers have not disclosed specific reasons, the decision seems influenced by the game's low download numbers and less-than-favorable reviews globally. Many licensed anime gacha games face challenges in sustaining an international player base, largely because Japanese players tend to engage more with these games. Thus, the shutdown of Code Geass: Lost Stories may not come as a surprise to many.
For those in Japan interested in experiencing the game, it's available on the Google Play Store. Meanwhile, don't forget to explore our latest news, including the exciting launch of the Tournament of Triumph in Sky: Children of the Light!
