Konami has announced that Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls is set to shut down this autumn, marking the end of the side-scrolling platformer's availability on mobile. The title, which previously survived a cancellation in 2020 by moving to an Apple Arcade-exclusive release without monetization, will officially cease operations on September 3, 2026.
Important Dates for Players
- August 20, 2026: The game will be removed from the Apple Arcade storefront and will no longer be available for download.
- September 3, 2026: Official end-of-service date, at which point the game will be inaccessible.
Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls was designed in the style of classic entries in the series, most notably Symphony of the Night. Its removal from Apple Arcade means that, barring any future offline versions, the title will effectively become unplayable for the current player base once the servers go offline.
