Mobile spinoff Nier Reincarnation is shutting down in April
23.01.2024 - 11:39 / techradar.com
The free-to-play mobile spinoff Nier Reincarnation, which is set in the same universe as the hugely popular Nier: Automata, is set to end after two and a half years.
Released in July 2021, Nier Reincarnation is a role-playing game (RPG) for iOS and Android with a story centered around characters who have been suddenly transported to The Cage — a mysterious alternate dimension filled with dungeons.
The game follows set story arcs, with players engaging in free exploration and combat with waves of enemies to unlock new story content. Although much of the story can be experienced for free, the game also features a gacha style mechanic that allows players to unlock new weapons, characters, and equipment.
Despite a fairly successful launch, publisher Square Enix has confirmed in a new blog post that Nier Reincarnation will be ending service on April 29, 2024. This will be roughly a month after the release of the game’s final chapter which is set to release on March 28 and will conclude the ongoing ‘The People and the World’ story arc.
Some live-service events are planned for the coming months despite the imminent shutdown. This includes a limited-time story completion event, a 3rd-anniversary celebration for the original Japanese release, and a final chapter countdown campaign.
There will also be some efforts to try and reward long-term players, with the story completion countdown event granting 10 free summons per day. Once service is over, however, it appears that players will no longer be able to log in to the game.
Although this isn’t too unusual for a free-to-play mobile title, it’s still a huge shame and makes a huge swathe of Nier content completely inaccessible in the future. It might be wishful thinking, but hopefully, some kind of offline support is on the way — like we saw with the other Square Enix mobile RPG Kingdom Hearts Dark Road which can be played without a connection to the server.

Assassin’s Creed Red to Drop Before April 2025, Ubisoft Planning Around GTA VI Later in 2025
Ubisoft has reported their earnings for the third quarter of their fiscal year 2024 (which runs from the beginning of April 2023 to the end of March 2024) and things are looking somewhat up for the Assassin’s Creed publisher following rough patches over the last few years. With revenue of €606 million, Q3 was down a bit year-on-year, likely due to somewhat disappointing performance of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, but Ubisoft is expecting a good Q4 due to Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Skull and Bones with Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot somewhat questionably referring to the latter as a “AAAA” game.
