Scopely has announced that Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem will be shut down on October 15, 2026. The free-to-play mobile game, developed by Aquiris Game Studio, launched in 2018 and will be removed from app stores on August 23.
Social channels will be deactivated on August 16, and players can continue making in-game purchases until that date. Support will remain available until the shutdown. The studio said in a blog post that the decision was not made lightly, calling the community's alliances and friendships built over eight years something the team does not take for granted.
Giveaways and free items will be offered to players in the lead-up to the shutdown. Unlike Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, which received an offline version after its 2024 shutdown, there will be no offline mode for World of Mayhem.
The closure adds to a growing list of mobile games scheduled to go offline. Nintendo announced last week that Mario Kart Tour will be taken offline in September, also with no offline version planned. The trend reflects broader challenges in the free-to-play mobile space, where maintaining live service games requires ongoing investment in content, servers, and community management.
World of Mayhem allowed players to collect and battle characters from the Looney Tunes universe, including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Tweety. The game used a turn-based combat system and featured guild mechanics where players could team up for cooperative events. At its peak, the game had millions of downloads across iOS and Android.
Scopely, which was acquired by Saudi Arabia's Savvy Games Group in 2023 for approximately $4.9 billion, continues to operate other titles including Star Trek Fleet Command and Marvel Strike Force. The publisher has not indicated whether other games in its portfolio face similar shutdowns.
The shutdown follows a pattern of major publishers sunsetting mobile titles that no longer meet revenue targets. Warner Bros. Discovery closed several mobile games in 2025, and EA has pulled multiple titles from stores in recent years. For players who invested years of progress and real money in World of Mayhem, the shutdown marks the end of a game that, despite its cartoon premise, fostered genuine community bonds.
