PlatinumGames' action title "World of Demons", exclusive to Apple Arcade, is set to be delisted and will no longer be playable starting January 18, 2024. Although the game has been available for less than two years, having launched in April 2021, the company has decided to terminate its availability without disclosing the precise reasons behind the decision. This move raises concerns about game preservation as the title will not be accessible through any other platforms. The game's art style is reminiscent of Okami, another action-adventure game by PlatinumGames co-founder Hideki Kamiya. The future of PlatinumGames seems uncertain, especially after Kamiya's departure in October, with the status of their Project GG, which Kamiya was directing, also in question.

Why is "World of Demons" being removed from Apple Arcade and will there be any other way to play it?

"World of Demons" is being delisted from Apple Arcade, but PlatinumGames hasn't provided a reason for its removal. As of now, there have been no announcements about the availability of the game on other platforms, meaning there might no longer be a way to play it after delisting.

"World of Demons" belongs to PlatinumGames' notable portfolio, a developer known for creating acclaimed action titles such as Bayonetta and Nier: Automata. The company has a reputation for developing games with intricate combat systems and engaging narratives. The delisting comes as a surprise to many, particularly because of the studio's legacy in the gaming world and the relatively short time that "World of Demons" has been available to players.
