Lost Reavers, Bandai Namco’s free-to-play online co-op game for Wii U, will end its service later this year, on May 30th. Starting on March 28th, new items can no longer be purchased, but previously purchased items can still be used. On May 30th, all servers for the game will go offline.

Bandai Namco didn’t state a reason for the game shutting down, but most likely it just wasn’t profitable anymore to keep the servers running.
