A collaboration betweenSegaand the Nier Automata creator, the gacha mobile game was released back in April, but just six months on, it’s already on borrowed time. In a statement on theofficial Error Game Reset website(thanks,Eurogamer), Sega revealed that the title will shut down next January.

According to the statement, new content, including story missions, characters, and events, will be released until the service ends. “Although there is only a short period left, the management team will do our best to make sure that you can enjoy Error Game Reset,” it said.

To describe this mobile game as bizarre is putting it rather mildly. It takes place in a world where Sega conquers all and must be defeated using titles from the company’s back catalogue who’ve been transformed into anime girls. Yeah, seriously…

Earlier this year, it emerged that Yoko Taro had somehow lost his iconic Nier mask in Los Angeles, andwhat he replaced it with was truly nightmare-inducing.
