Probably but it’s hard to tell when the lifespan of Smartphone games based off of Anime is usually pretty small to begin with most of the time. I’m guessing that they only survive if they get hardcore fans to spend the big bucks on it. |

Feels like lots of Bushiroad departments are shutting their doors down recently. Buddyfight was announced to be ending earlier this year as well.

What was that, just over a year? Feels like an extremely short run.

I played it and the game wasn't really that good so not surprised its getting shut down.

It's also shutting down in Japan as well.
https://twitter.com/Conan_Runner/status/1303528555062550528 So it's pretty much the same as with Sailor Moon Drops last year rather than with Magia Record which is only the English version that's shutting down. |

Conan has always been niche in America. I'm surprised we got this at all. The game will still be going in Japan though where the franchise is much bigger. |

Somehow I’m only just now learning we had a Detective Conan mobile game and that it was playable in the US.

I’m surprised they went with a runner gamer instead of an actual mystery game. Seriously, even a match 3 game would be more fitting.

There's multiple Conan mobage, mostly mystery and puzzle games. Runner was actually an outlier in terms of gameplay and was probably about trying something new. I guess it didn't work out so well as the other games. |

I wish those other games had come to America and/or were translated to English. |
