Delisting
Spike Chunsoft announced in a brief news post on February 7th, 2022 that Grand Kingdom for PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4 would be removed from sale and its online features shut down in Japan on February 28th. The statement, by way of Google Translate, read:
Regarding PlayStation®4 / PlayStation®Vita version “Grand Kingdom”, the server for Internet communication will be stopped at the end of March 2022. As a result, the online services will be stopped. Thank you for using this product for a long time since its release in November 2015.
Future schedule
02/28: End of sales of software and DLC on PlayStation®Store
Spike Chunsoft announcement
03/27: Last War
03/28: No War (only war results from 03/27 can be viewed)
03/29: Server Shutdown
Outside of Japan, the same War mode was retired by publisher NIS America in October of 2019. However, the game has remained on sale across Australia, Europe, and North America since release. Although much of the game is playable offline, it appears Spike Chunsoft felt that the War mode was critical to the experience, choosing to remove it from sale for lack of these online features.
