Following the announcement of sunsetting Transformers: Legends mobile game, DeNA has also announced the ending of Transformers: Age Of Extinction Mobile Game.
Unlike TFL, the company has not made an announcement on the web, but the players who logged onto play Transformers: Age Of Extinction today received the message from the game itself.
Closure of AOE was expected since the game was originally conceived to be a part of the Transformers 4 Movie Tie-in Campaign. With future movies on the horizon, Transformers: Age Of Extinction Mobile Game has served its propose. The game ran for a year with several major updates bringing in characters from past movies as well.
You can check out the farewell message, after the jump. DeNA stated:
Hey TRANSFORMERS Age of Extinction fans,
It is with heavy hearts that we must announce some bad news today.
We will be retiring TRANSFORMERS: Age of Extinction on September 30th, 2015
We’ve worked very hard to keep TRANSFORMERS:Age of Extinction running for our loyal playerbase as long as we possibly could, but unfortunately there isn’t anything else we can do to keep things going. With that being said, we’ve decided to give our players the keys to the kingdom during the last few months of TRANSFORMERS:Age of Extinction lifespan.
Starting June 25th:- All CyberCoins purchases will be shut off (you will still be able to spend your remaining balance on resources packages and the Space Bridges)
- Events will continue until Septmeber 30th, 2015
- Increased CyberCoins payouts
- Reduced Character pricing
We know how hard it is to watch a game you love sunset, but if you’re looking for more TRANSFORMERS action, we hope you’ll download TRANSFORMERS: Battle Tactics where you can build a dream team of AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS, and go head-to-head against players from around the world in strategic PvP based combat.”

I like where this is going. I like where this is going, A LOT!
Here's hoping that Hasbro is severing all connections with DeNA, and will give the license to someone who knows what the flying fuck they're doing!

It was fun while it lasted.

So we wont be able to play it after this?

I suppose the biggest impact would be for those who actually paid real money to play this…
Wonder if there were any crazy people who spent more than a couple of bucks on it – there have been reports of people wasting crazy amounts of money on freemium games.

Suprisred it lasted as long as it did.

It was an okay game, in my opinion, but it was a bit better than the console version of Rise of the Dark Spark, in the fact that this game has all of the movie characters. But, honestly, I'm not sad to see it end.

Yeah this and Legends ending has no affect on my day.

I mean… the movie is almost 1 year old. A little too long to have a promotional game for a movie that's almost 1 year old, isn't it?
Nonetheless, I hope Hasbro tells DeNA to GTFO. They deserve it.

It seems like they just copy pasted most of the message from the legends game closure.

DeNA has its hands full now. Yesterday, I even saw them making an announcement for E3 this year.
With Nintendo as a Partner, DeNA has potential revenue many years ahead. It can live without other Licenses (not saying it would happen).
Meanwhile, Hasbro is promoting their own Mobile Game Studio these days. Backflip Studios even has a Transformers game down the pipeline. Most probably we'll hear about it next weekend.

Could've guessed that'd happen given we're a year removed from the movie it's tied to.
Wonder if we'll suddenly see Battle Tactics get killed now. At first I thought it was just a few old games caving to inevitability, but now it seems like DeNA might be severing ties with Hasbro altogether.

Shame I was about to get the game
