In a sad turn of events, the mobile title Goblin Slayer: The Endless Revenge has announced that it will be ending its service before the year ends. The game only saw a Japanese release, but fans outside of the country were hoping that the mobile title would get a localized version. However, this no longer seems possible in light of this recent news.
Goblin Slayer: The Endless Revenge was launched last year, specifically in December 2019. Like most mobile games, it was a free-to-play title that contained in-app purchases that would boost your gameplay significantly. For those who aren’t familiar, this game was based on the Goblin Slayer series, which initially started as a light novel but was later adapted into other forms of media, such as film, anime, and manga.
Goblin Slayer: The Endless Revenge follows the adventures of a character that bears the same name as the title. Goblin Slayer, as his name implies, only wants to get rid of pesky goblins. However, given the severity of some missions, he can’t do everything on his own.
As such, he encounters different characters who join his cause, such as a young Priestess, an Elf, a Shaman, and even a Dwarf. The mobile title also features other characters such as the Guild Girl, who offers the Goblin Slayer jobs wherein he has to eliminate goblins. There’s also the Cow Girl character, who is his childhood friend. She’s a local farmer who offers the Goblin Slayer a place to sleep and rest.
Goblin Slayer: The Endless Revenge is a vertical action title, making it playable even with one hand since you simply need to swipe or tap in order for the character to attack. In order to progress in the game, Goblin Slayer and his party accept a variety of jobs from the Guild Girl, most of which require them to clear out all the monsters who have made a habitat out of a particular dungeon.
A character’s strength can be increased with the use of various materials, which can be obtained from defeating enemies. Once the characters have been buffed with different enhancements, the party will stand a chance against stronger enemies.
Since The Endless Revenge’s release, the game hosted a variety of events celebrating and showcasing the different heroines from the Goblin Slayer series. Most of the time, these events offered players the chance to earn different outfits for the characters to use in battle.

It came as a shock to the dedicated fans when the game’s termination was announced out of nowhere on the app itself as well as on the game’s official Twitter account. Fans weren’t expecting it because the mobile title was still revealing new events along with teaser images, but sadly, the Goblin Slayer: The Endless Revenge hasn’t received a new update since September.
During the game’s months of silence, fans began to worry about its future, especially since it’s normal for mobile games to keep their players regularly updated with news. While it’s with a heavy heart that we have to say goodbye to Goblin Slayer: The Endless Revenge, the bright side is that players who paid real-world money to purchase the in-game currency, Diamonds, will be able to get a refund until the game’s termination date. Keep in mind, however, that this only applies to unused Diamonds.
Goblin Slayer: The Endless Revenge is set to end this week on December 25, 2020.
