The Deadman’s Cross Team
The announcement alludes to a disappointing active player count on the Vita and Square Enix chose to focus the team’s resources on the Android and iOS versions of the game. Deadman’s Cross celebrated its three-year anniversary in February of 2017 before all versions were shut down on July 31st, 2017. The final message from the team read:
Service for Deadman’s Cross (English version) will come to an end on Jul. 30, 2017 8:00 p.m. (PDT) / Jul. 30, 2017 11:00 p.m. (EDT) / Jul. 31, 2017 3:00 a.m. (GMT) / Jul. 31, 2017 12:00 p.m. (JST).
