Fingersoft is winding down Lego Hill Climb Adventures, the Lego-licensed racing game based on its Hill Climb series. The studio has ended development because the game did not perform well enough to sustain long-term support, MobileGamer.biz reports. In the team’s own words, it found a hill too steep to conquer.
The dates
- By October 23: in-app purchases are removed.
- December 15: the game is taken off the App Store and Google Play.
- Into 2027: players can keep playing. Fingersoft says it will share the exact details later.
Lego Hill Climb Adventures+, the version on Apple Arcade without in-app purchases, remains playable there.
The report does not mention refunds for purchases already made.
The numbers
The game launched on iOS and Android in 2024. Since then it has generated about 475,000 dollars in revenue and 3.6 million downloads, according to AppMagic estimates cited by MobileGamer.biz.
No layoffs
This closure does not come with job losses. Fingersoft says the team is moving to its prototyping group to help with future games. The studio’s next big launch is Hill Climb Racing 3, currently in soft launch on Google Play in the United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden and Finland.
If you play it
The first date to keep in mind is October 23: after it there will be nothing left to buy, so it is the moment to spend any currency you still have. And if you want to keep playing into next year, it is worth having the game installed before December 15, when it disappears from the stores.
