NieR Reincarnation is shutting down on April 29, Square Enix has announced. This sad day for fans of the franchise will arrive less than three years after NieR Reincarnation was released for Android and iOS devices.
Developed by Japanese studio Applibot, NieR Reincarnation marked the Drakengard spin-off series' first foray into mobile gaming. A fairly low-cost project for Square Enix to finance, the game ended up launching while the company was enjoying record-high revenues inflated by the global pandemic. With Square Enix facing declining sales over the two years that followed, the gaming giant ended up reviewing its entire operation in an effort to cut down on its annual product output and focus on fewer titles with higher revenue potential, meaning predominantly AAA projects.
That endeavor has already resulted in the company shutting down multiple mobile titles, with NieR Reincarnation being the latest to join that list. Square Enix has recently taken to social media to thank the fans for their support of the gacha game, stating that its servers will shut down on April 29, at 10pm PT. Before that happens, Applibot will deliver one more story chapter, The People and the World Act 3: Transmigration, which is scheduled to release on March 28, at 6pm PT. Players will hence have just over a month's worth of time to experience the conclusion of NieR Reincarnation's story.
In the meantime, some additional content drops are also in the pipeline, including the overarching Story Completion Countdown event that promises to significantly boost everyone's progress with ten free daily summons and generous weekly gem gifts. Much like its name implies, the newly started event will run until the arrival of the game's final story chapter. Players will also have a chance to grab new character costumes each week for the duration of the promotion.
The announcement of NieR Reincarnation's upcoming demise arrives less than a month after Square Enix decided to shut down two other mobile games: Engage Kill and Full Metal Alchemist Mobile. The former's sunsetting came as a particular surprise to the fans, not least because Engage Kill was released less than a year before the publisher decided to scrap it.
But some of the company's recent mobile projects didn't even get that far. That ended up being the case with the internally developed Just Cause: Mobile that Square Enix canceled back in July 2023, while the game was still in beta. It is plausible that NieR Reincarnation won't be the company's last mobile project to end up on the chopping block in 2024.
Nier: Reincarnation is a mobile spinoff of the Nier franchise that was released in 2021 by developer Applibot and publisher Square Enix. The game takes place in the wider Nier

A vocal portion of the Palworld fandom has recently taken to social media to ask Pocketpair to add corner roofs and a few other junction assets to the hit game. Their pleas add to the list of feature requests that Palworld players have put together to date.
After 300 hours of work and $1,500 spent on assets, a solo indie developer has released a parody trailer of The Day Before that has come to be a cautionary tale of being wary of overpromising marketing.
While a “certain someone” wanted nothing more than to praise 2023 for its “gaming excellence,” people who actually lived and worked during that period know that it was hardly flawless. One of the biggest issues is that the games released that year had a huge pendulum swing when it came to quality. Plenty of titles were “Game of the Year worthy,” and then there were titles that made people wonder why they came out. One such title that helped end the year was The Day Before, a game so bad that its studio shut it down in just two months.
Splatoon 3's long-awaited Side Order DLC is finally releasing on February 22. Splatoon 3 showed off a first look at Side Order gameplay back in the September 2023 Nintendo Direct, but things have been awfully quiet since concerning the Expansion Pass' second wave. Still, the visuals of an eerily achromatic world within the usually bubbly Splatoon universe have been enough to intrigue fans.
You might have thought the The Day Before's sorry saga had ended last year when developer Fntastic, amid claims of misleading marketing and Overwhelmingly Negative Steam reviews, yanked the game from sale and promptly shut its doors just four days into its early access launch. But no, the studio has now reemerged with a lengthy statement blaming the whole thing on a «hate campaign» orchestrated by «certain bloggers».
Fntastic, the folks behind the debilitating 'open world zombie MMO' The Day Before, have released a statement to combat "misinformation" about its development and catastrophic release. They claim certain "bloggers" made huge money by creating "false content" about the game, and that its closure is thanks largely to a hate campaign that inflicted "significant damage". Bizarrely, they also believe they "implemented everything shown in the trailers". Riiight.
The Day Before attracted widespread skepticism in the lead-up to its ill-fated launch, and upon release, the game proved all of its doubters concretely right. From lacking content to being a technical mess to being poorly made and not even being the kind of game it had been marketed as, the shooter was widely panned by critics and audiences instantly upon release.
