In just under a year, Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls has closed its doors, not even getting its planned global release. Soft launched in Japan and Canada, the free-to-play Castlevania game had promise, but it was a total misfire.

Despite classic gameplay and an authentic art style, fans were prepared to shelve their misgivings about its mobile nature. Konami, however, tried to push a multiplayer mode nobody wanted with microtransactions nobody bought.

Sounds about right for Konami, where everything game-related seems to be a Producers-style scheme.
