Konami has announced the upcoming shutdown of Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls. The game will be removed from Apple Arcade on August 20, 2026, and on September 3, the publisher will shut down the servers and completely cease support for the project.
"Since its release on Apple Arcade in September 2021, the game has been supported by many users. However, we have decided to terminate its service on September 3, 2026."
After being removed from Apple Arcade, new users will no longer be able to download Grimoire of Souls. Those who managed to install the game will be able to launch it until the servers are shut down on September 3, after which it will become unavailable. Konami has not yet announced plans to add an offline mode, release a separate re-release, or port the project to other platforms.
Grimoire of Souls is a 2D action game with 60 levels and characters from various Castlevania titles. The story sees evil forces escaping from grimoires that record the history of Dracula and his castle. Players will travel through the pages of these books, fight monsters, and uncover the reasons behind the new threat.
The next new installment in the series will be Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse. The game will be released on October 15, 2026, on PC and consoles.
