Konami's Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls to be taken offline next month

Konami has announced that the Apple Arcade-exclusive Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls will be taken offline next month. The game, which launched on the service in September 2021, will be removed from Apple Arcade on August 20 and will become entirely inaccessible on September 3. After this date, the game will no longer be playable.

Despite its continued popularity among players, Konami has decided to terminate the service in September. The company expressed gratitude to all players for their support throughout the years. Originally launched as a free-to-play title for iOS and Android in Canada in September 2019, Grimoire of Souls was later discontinued but relaunched on various platforms through Apple Arcade upon its re-release.

The game removed in-game currency and microtransactions, revised layouts, and improved graphics upon its return. Grimoire of Souls joins several other games set to go offline in the coming months, including Mario Kart Tour in September, Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem in October, and Destruction AllStars in November.
