It's the beginning of the end for Disney Mirrorverse. Developer Kabama announced that the mobile role-playing game, which launched in 2022, will be shut down on December 16, 2024.
"After countless adventures in Disney Mirrorverse with our cast of evolved heroes and villains, this current chapter of the Mirrorverse saga is soon coming to a close," the developer announced today. "With this conclusion to the game’s storyline, we have made the decision to sunset the Disney Mirrorverse game for both iOS and Android and will be shutting down all servers on December 16, 2024."
Although there are still a few months to go until the servers are shut down, the game is effectively dead for those who aren't already playing it. As of today, the game has been removed from app storefronts, so no one new can download it. Additionally, all In-App Purchases — the ones that cost real money — have been disabled.
If you already have the game installed, you can keep playing until the servers are shut down in December. You'll be able to experience the remaining content Kabam has planned to release over the coming weeks, which will wrap up the Mirrorverse storyline.
"Our sincere thanks to you, our amazing community of players, who have made this journey unforgettable," the developer added. "Your support and passionate dedication to the game is truly inspiring to our team. Being able to create this game, and evolving beloved characters and worlds in new and imaginative ways has been a labor of love and our great honor."
Released in 2022, Disney Mirroverse was an action role-playing game that transported players to an alternate dimension where classic Disney and Pixar characters were reimagined. Similar to other mobile games, players would assemble a team of "evolved and amplified versions of classic Disney and Pixar characters" and battle to defend the Mirrorverse from an evil threat.
Combat was fought in real-time as you traveled through world stages with a party of characters, each filling a unique role and possessing special abilities. Players could complete epic quests, engage in Alliance-focused Rift Raids, or compete for the top spot in the global leaderboards in dungeons.
While the game was fun, the free-to-play model — as we've seen with so many other mobile games — was permeated with predatory and annoying microtransactions. It would get to a point where in order to advance and improve the strength of your characters, you'd almost have to spend real money.
Although it's sad to see Disney Mirroverse go, Disney-focused mobile games are a dime a dozen. When one goes down, a dozen more seemingly pop up. It probably won't be long now before a new Disney-themed mobile game gets announced.
