The New Denpa Men Shutting Down in December

Genius Sonority announced that its free-to-play title The New Denpa Men will shut down at 11am JST on December 7, 2026. Sales of its premium in-game items and currency have ended, though any currently held can be used until the end of service.

The New Denpa Men is the fifth title in the Denpa Men AR RPG series. It originally released for Nintendo Switch in 2024, with iOS and Android versions following in 2025 and a dedicated Switch 2 version releasing earlier this year. The series sees players capturing small, otherwise invisible creatures that live in radio waves and leading them in an adventure. The first three games in the series were released for Nintendo 3DS worldwide, with a fourth title released on mobile only in Japan. Alongside a main adventure, The New Denpa Men includes additional content such as island decorating, fishing, limited-time events, and multiplayer features.
