Why is Brave Frontier Closing?
Brave Frontier, a popular mobile role-playing game for iOS and Android devices since 2013, is officially shutting down. Players of this game have been taken aback by the news, especially since the game developer (Gumi) has not cited any specific reason for the closure.
Reasons Behind the Closure
Despite no official explanation, there are some plausible reasons for why Gumi has decided to shut down Brave Frontier. Some of these include:
- Declining Players & Interest – It appears the game was failing to attract new players and retain them, resulting in a drop in revenue.
- Competition – As new and more flashy mobile games started appearing in the market, Brave Frontier no longer managed to keep player’s attention.
- Difficult to Sustain – Due to the ever changing mobile game market, keeping up with the times, improving the game and providing updates may have proven too difficult for Gumi.
Players’ Reactions
As with any big news, the announcement was met with shock and awe from fans who invested a lot of their time and energy into the game. Many expressed their sadness and confusion on various social media platforms, with the hashtag “#BraveFrontier” trending on Twitter in Japan.
Apart from the confusion and shock, some took the opportunity to thank Gumi for the game and their services. Several people posted kind messages on the game’s forums, Facebook pages and other gaming sites.
Conclusion
Ultimately, the closure of Brave Frontier is simply a sign of changes in the mobile games market. While there may be various reasons behind why Gumi chose to shut down the game, there is no denying that Brave Frontier was, and always will be, an important part of gaming history.
