For a while there, Square Enix Montreal (later rebranded to Onoma<\/span>) were making some of the best mobile puzzle games of all time. Hitman Go<\/em>, Lara Croft Go<\/em> and Deus Ex Go<\/em> were three of the slickest, most challenging games you could play on your phone<\/span>, and all have gone down as classics of the genre. Sadly, one of them is about to disappear forever.<\/p>\n

Onoma\u2014who were suddenly closed earlier this month<\/span>\u2014announced earlier today that a number of their games will be \u201cshutting down\u201d in early 2023. Among them are Hitman Sniper: The Shadows<\/em>, which was only released last year, and Deus Ex Go<\/em>. The studio\u2019s full statement reads:<\/p>\n

\n

Arena Battle Champions, Deus Ex GO, Hitman Sniper: The Shadows and Space Invaders: Hidden Heroes will be shutting down on January 4th.<\/p>\n

The games will be removed from the App Store\/Google Play Store on December 1st, and current players will not be able to access the games past January 4th.<\/p>\n

Effective immediately, in-game purchases are stopped. We encourage prior in-game purchases to be used before January 4th, as they will not be refunded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

On behalf of the development team, we would like to thank you for playing our games.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Note that these aren\u2019t simply disappearing from those two stores, they are disappearing<\/em>, with the games no longer able to be accessed after January 4, even if you\u2019ve already downloaded them. From a personal perspective\u2014as someone who dusts the Go <\/em>games off as time-killers every year or two\u2014that sucks, but it\u2019s also a tragedy from a games preservation standpoint.<\/p>\n

People made this game, people bought this game and people enjoyed this game, for years, and with the closure of a studio and some rights changing hands it\u2019s now just going to cease existing in an official capacity? <\/p>\n

The closures aren\u2019t affecting Lara Croft Go<\/em> and Hitman Go<\/em>, at least, both of which are also available on the PC (Deus Ex Go<\/em> was once available on the Windows Store, but has since been delisted from there as well). <\/p>\n
