The official Twitter account for Ao no Exorcist: Damned Chord, the smartphone game based on Kazue Katō’s Blue Exorcist (Ao no Exorcist) manga, announced on Wednesday that developer Esprit has canceled the game due to “not being able to develop the game to an acceptable level of quality.”
The original Ao no Exorcist: Damned Chord game was announced at Jump Festa in December 2018 for release in 2019, but was then repeatedly delayed.
Esprit have instead started a new project that promises a Blue Exorcist smartphone MMORPG.
The manga has since inspired two television anime, an anime film, a side-story original video anime (OVA), several stage plays, and several video games.
