Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion Lost Stories will shut down on December 7, 2026, closing a run of about four and a half years. The development team also confirmed that an offline Memorial Version is in the works so players can return to parts of the game after the servers go dark.
The shutdown and what stays
Sales of paid Sakuradite, Lost Stories Passes and Starter Packs ended on October 7. The game itself stays playable until December 7, and the team plans to keep updating it with events, campaigns and story content until then. November will bring an epilogue for the “RE” story and an epilogue for the main story.
After the online service ends, the Memorial Version will let players revisit selected content, including story scenarios and encyclopedia entries for characters and Knightmare Frames. More details will come through the game and its official social accounts.
How the story grew
The team reflected on how the project outgrew its original plan. The main story was meant to wrap up with Part 2, but strong player response pushed it into Part 3, built around Lelouch of the Re;surrection. After Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture arrived, the developers added Part 4, the “Lost Blossom Arc”, which connects Re;surrection with Rozé. Part 5, the “Rozé of the Recapture Arc”, followed.
That is a longer life than most licensed mobile games get. Instead of running a single campaign and stopping, Lost Stories kept extending itself to keep pace with the films, which says something about how the people making it felt about the material.
Lost Stories also sat inside a wider Code Geass revival. The films Lelouch of the Re;surrection and Rozé of the Recapture carried the story forward on screen, and the game gave those threads somewhere to live between releases. A licensed mobile title drawing a five-part narrative out of that timeline is not the usual outcome.
Refunds and what players should do
Refunds are available for unused paid Sakuradite bought through the App Store, Google Play and DMM GAMES PLAYER. The team advises players not to uninstall the game until any refund process is finished, and to save their player ID in advance.
Why it matters
Lost Stories was a companion piece rather than a headline act, but it did something the films and series could not. It kept the Code Geass timeline running and filled in the space between Re;surrection and Rozé of the Recapture. Its closure leaves the franchise’s mobile presence empty for now.
The series itself is not slowing down in animation. The next entry, Code Geass: Star Chaser Aspal, is set for 2027. For longtime fans who played Lost Stories as a way to stay inside that world, the offline version is a small consolation, and the two November epilogues are the last new story the game will get.
The shutdown also fits a pattern across the mobile space. Licensed anime games open with a promise of ongoing story, then depend on enough paying players to keep the servers running. Lost Stories made it four and a half years, which is a respectable stretch, and the offline version softens an ending that most games in its position never get to plan.
