Nintendo's foray into the mobile game market in the mid-2010s saw the gaming juggernaut release a variety of games based on some of its most popular franchises. Fire Emblem Heroes saw overwhelming success on mobile devices following its launch and franchises like Super Mario Bros., Mario Kart, and Animal Crossing would soon follow. However, among Nintendo's plethora of mobile games was an original project with Granblue Fantasy developer Cygames, Dragalia Lost. Now, the mobile RPG has officially confirmed its upcoming end of service date.

Nintendo and Cygames had revealed earlier this year that Dragalia Lost would be shutting down in 2022, with its final content update set for July. Now, a new update from Nintendo has officially confirmed the game will shut down on November 29th, 2022. The update came alongside the shuttering of purchases for the game's premium currency ending at the same time as the post was made. Dragalia Lost's Upgrade Essentials and Packs will continue to be purchasable in-game until the end of October, ending on October 31st.

Dragalia Lost's closure in November will come just over four years after the game launched in September 2018 to modest success. The mobile action RPG had earned $60 million worldwide just four months after its launch, later seeing multiple crossovers with major franchises like Persona 5and Monster Hunter. While seeing largely mixed reviews from critics, Dragalia Lost was nominated for the 2018 D.I.C.E. Awards' «Portable Game of the Year.» The game's previously mentioned final update came on July 24th, adding the second part of Dragalia Lost's 26th story chapter.
