Back in 2023, anime streaming service Crunchyroll launched its Game Vault, offering several mobile games to premium subscribers. This May through early June, Crunchyroll is adding games every week to Game Vault, including some recent hits that deserve more attention. But some of its additions, including a mobile version of a classic Square Enix RPG, might not actually be a good development for players.
The first game coming to Game Vault as part of Crunchyroll’s Ani-May event is Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, a version of the original Valkyrie Profile first released on PlayStation Portable in 2006 that launches April 30. Lenneth was ported to mobile platforms in 2018 and to PlayStation 4 and 5 in 2022 alongside the Valkyrie Profile sequel, Valkyrie Elysium. However, while subscribers may be happy to see the game added, that’s not the case for other potential players. Last week, before Crunchyroll officially announced that it was adding Lenneth to its service, the game was quietly removed from sale on mobile platforms. It’s not clear if the game will be available for purchase again in the future.
