Capcom is already shutting down Puzzle Fighter

Mobile game already at a Shadaloss Hey, remember Capcom’s recentPuzzle Fightermobile game? Well, if you’re one of the lucky few who do, I’ve got great news: As of July 31, you can officially forget about it! Less than five months since its worldwide launch, Capcom has announced the sunset of the polarizing mobile title, scheduled for the end of July. Why the company is giving the game the Old Yeller treatment so soon after release is unclear, but given the lootboxy nature of it, it’s probably safe to assume people weren’t dropping cash on the free-to-play title like Capcom was hoping....

For those of you who aren’t in the know, Switch iconsare a big deal. At least, according to a subset of the Switch community.
