Terra Battle 2 removed from North American iOS/Android app stores, will shut down in September

Mistwalker has announced that, effectively immediately, Terra Battle 2 can no longer be purchased or downloaded from the North American app stores for iOS or Android devices. Additionally, service for Terra Battle 2 will shut down completely on September 3, 2018. 

Terra Battle 2 released in the region on September 21, 2017, so, unfortunately, the game won't make it to its first anniversary. In the meantime, Mistwalker is currently developing a 'Clash Royale' - like Terra Wars alongside studio Arzest, which just got a new tutorial video last week. However, the franchise's future in the west seems shaky going forward.

Message from Hironobu Sakaguchi (Terra Battle 2 Producer)

Dear Our North American Terra Battle 2 Players,

It is with a heavy heart we announce that in the coming months, we will be ending support for the North American version of Terra Battle 2. Service for the game will end on Tuesday, September 3rd, 2018 and In-App Purchases will be removed from the game immediately.

We regret having to announce this news to you all, who have passionately supported us since before the game's release. Withdrawing support for Terra Battle 2 is not something we do lightly. The game will always be precious to myself, Fujisaka, and the entire Mistwalker team, as we know it is to our fans. We are very thankful for the amazing community that has grown alongside our games, and we will continue to work hard to grow alongside you in our future endeavors. From our Reddit community, to the Discords and the hard working Wiki team... To various Facebook and other social groups, we cannot express how much your support means to us.

Sadly, Terra Battle 2 was met with unexpected struggles, making it challenging for our team to maintain a sustainable and enjoyable experience.

We will continue developing games, reflecting on our experience from this game, to bring new experiences to fans around the world. The Mistwalker team and I are hard at work brainstorming future projects, with all of the knowledge that Terra Battle 2 has granted us. We hope for the world of Terra to live on, but the format, timing, and methods are still unknown to us at this time. 

Thank you for your understanding and for being our fans,

Hironobu Sakaguchi
