Burnaby, BC, May 9, 2018--(T-Net)--Capcom Vancouver has announced in a blog post that its mobile title Puzzle Fighter is being sunsetted and shut down in order for the company to focus on its flagship Dead Rising Franchise.
Here is the company's blog announcement:
Firstly, we'd like to thank all the fans who have supported and enjoyed our Puzzle Fightermobile game thus far. As huge fans of Puzzle Fighter ourselves, the team here at Capcom Game Studio Vancouver is proud to have created a new version of the game that's unique and enjoyable.
As the studio is dedicating its focus to our flagship Dead Rising franchise, we have decided to sunset Puzzle Fighter. The game will be removed from app stores on July 1 and servers will be shut down on July 31. The game will still be playable until July 31 and today we are gifting all players 10,000 in-game gem currency. We are also making upcoming characters (Regina, Dr. Wily and Ada Wong) and stages (Darminor and Uroboros Laboratory) available for free for fans to enjoy up until this time. Regina and Dr. Wily will be available in-game later today, while Ada Wong and the new stages will be released on Monday April 23. Later today the game's soundtrack will also be available to stream online for free via SoundCloud. In addition, the previous Classic Mode special limited event will be available at all times up until the server closure.
In the meantime, in preparation for the app removal, please be aware that in-app purchases will be disabled on April 23. However, any existing purchased in-game gem currency can still be used in the game to upgrade characters before the server is shut down.
We appreciate the fans who have supported Puzzle Fighter until this point. We thank you for playing the game and hope to ensure your remaining time with Puzzle Fighter is an enjoyable one.
