posted on by Karen Ressler
The official Twitter account for Square Enix's Dia Horizon smartphone game announced on March 26 that the game will end service on May 31. The Twitter account for Square Enix's King's Knight - Wrath of the Dark Dragon - announced on the the same day that the game will end service on June 26. Both games have halted sales of their respective in-game currencies.
Square Enix announced its Dia Horizon multimedia project last July, and the game launched for iOS and Android devices on August 24.
The project also included a series of web anime shorts that premiered in August, a series of CG anime shorts that premiered in October, a four-panel web manga, and a serialized web novel.
Until the game ends service, King's Knight - Wrath of the Dark Dragon - will still hold events, including a story conclusion event in late May.
Square Enix announced the game in September 2016 and launched the game for iOS and Android on September 13, 2017. The game is based on Square's 1986 RPG King's Knight for NES. The new smartphone game added new characters and multiplayer for up to four players.
The smartphone RPG appears in Square Enix's Final Fantasy XV game as a game the characters can play in their downtime.
