Yu-Gi-Oh! Cross Duel Is Being Shut Down on September 4 After Less Than A Year

Yu-Gi-Oh! On September 6 of last year, Cross Duel was made available globally, bringing the free-for-all card battler to Yu-Gi-Oh! fans' mobile devices. Those of you who are currently enjoying the game may have anticipated Konami to show some genuine support for the title, but sadly, Cross Duel won't be commemorating its first birthday.

Konami has stated that Cross Duel will cease operation on September 4 of this year, effectively shutting down and making the game unplayable after that date. (thanks YGOrganization). Additionally, Konami has stated that as of right now, sales of Crystals, the premium money that powers the entire game's economy, will stop for the duration of its existence.
