Disney Mirrorverse shuts down when the magic ends later this year

Not everything Disney touches turns to gold.

Disney Mirrorverse fans are poor, unfortunate souls, because the servers for the mobile game are shutting down on December 16. The Disney Mirrorverse shut down announcement has also caused the removal of the game from the App Store and Google Play Store, and players can’t spend their hard-earned cash on microtransactions anymore.

Disney Mirrorverse gets its conclusion, however

Despite the Disney Mirrorverse shut down occurring this December, players of the game will thankfully get a resolution of the storyline that pits alternate universe Disney characters into one valiant adventure. The remaining content will be released “over the coming weeks,” said Kabam on the Disney Mirrorverse website.

“Our sincere thanks to you, our amazing community of players, who have made this journey unforgettable,” said the developer. “Your support and passionate dedication to the game is truly inspiring to our team.”

The mobile space is competitive, and likely as a result, Disney Mirrorverse only lasted for just over two years. No reason has been given by Kabam for the shutdown of the game, but it’s possibly due to a lack of interest from Disney fans around the world. There are arguably better action-RPG experiences out there on mobile, like Genshin Impact.

Mirrorverse had a lot of competition, especially within the Disney gaming space. Gameloft’s Disney Dreamlight Valley and Disney Speedstorm have been successful at gaining an audience, and consistently getting new updates. Just recently, Gameloft announced that Maleficent will become a racer in Disney Speedstorm. Tiana and Mulan also became recent villagers in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Kabam still has its mobile fighting game Marvel: Contest of Champions going strong and is about to reach its 10th anniversary on December 10. In today’s gaming landscape, that’s quite an accomplishment.
