Delisting
Gameloft announced on January 28th, 2023 that LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed would be removed from mobile and PC stores one month later on February 28th. An additional update made on January 31st confirmed that servers for the mobile and PC versions would be shut down on April 28th. The only remaining way to play the game was on the Facebook Gaming platform on the web where it was promised to remain playable “until the end of this year [2023]”. For a time players were able to transfer their progress from mobile or PC to Facebook Gaming. The original announcement from January 28th follows:
Unfortunately, and it was a difficult decision to make, we have decided to retire the game on Google Play, AppStore, Windows, Samsung Galaxy Store, Amazon Appstore and Huawei App Gallery. On February 28, 2023 the game will be removed from the stores. ☝The game will continue to be maintained on Facebook Cloud Gaming until the end of this year.
✨You can check the availability of Facebook Cloud Gaming in your region here: https://gmlft.co/LLHU-PP-Facebook-Game. If Facebook Cloud Gaming is available in your region you can continue playing there, your progress will be transferred if you use the same Facebook account.
This may be sad news for a lot of you, but we want to ensure a smooth transition for everyone who is such a big fan of adventures in Piptown as we are and transfer your progress into Facebook Cloud Gaming version.
We’d like to thank every single person that took the time to play our game and helped us along the way with feedback and suggestions.💛💚 Thank you for being the most amazing community; we could not be more grateful — and we definitely not saying goodbye: see you all in Facebook Cloud! 😉
Facebook Announcement – January 28, 2023
Although unconfirmed by Gameloft, the number of active players making in-game purchases and the cost of maintaining the LEGO license are likely the cause behind their decision to shut the game down.
