The New Denpa Men Ends Service on December 7
A free-to-play service ending roughly two years after launch leaves the Denpa Men series with no active game, and the stated reason is the cost of matching player expectations rather than a lack of interest.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
The New Denpa Men, Genius Sonority's free-to-play entry in the Denpa Men series, will end service on December 7 at 11:00 JST. The official website said the staff determined it would be difficult to keep providing a service that meets fan expectations. Sales of Jewel currency and other paid items stopped on Tuesday, and refund details for unused currency will follow after the shutdown.
Paid sales stopped two months before the shutdown. The game's website said the staff could not see a way to keep the service at the level fans expect, which is the reason given for the December 7 end date. Refund information for unused in-game currency will be posted after service closes. The game launched as a timed exclusive for Nintendo Switch in July 2024, then reached iOS and Android, and got a Nintendo Switch 2 version on April 5.
