Famitsu has announced Kadokawa will end support for the Famitsu App. Support will end on March 31, 2025. However, Famitsu has stated that information shared through the Famitsu App will appear on the website. That said, it did not specify what would or wouldn’t make it to the website once support for the app ends.
The Famitsu App primarily featured information about various mobile titles available in Japan. This included game guides and other information. That said, Famitsu does host a Famitsu App website, which is where the information will be transferred. It just means that there won’t be an ease of access via mobile devices.
Originally launched in April 2011, the Famitsu App, as previously mentioned, served as repository of information for various mobile games. This was primarily in the form of guides, but also included game version updates, merchandise, and even collaboration information for mobile games like Goddess of Victory: NIKKE.
That said, information on these mobile titles can be found on the Famitsu website, and the Famitsu App website. It will just take consumers a little longer to find what they’re looking for, and not directly through the app. Kadokawa and Famitsu have not stated a reason as to why the app is being taken offline.
The Famitsu App is available on Android and iOS devices, with support to end on March 31, 2025.
