Digital storefront GOG will remove the 2D turn-based strategy RPG Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga from its platform on October 2, 2026. The game, which recently changed publishers, will remain available for purchase through other digital retailers.
Why it matters
The delisting occurs as part of a series of store removals throughout late 2026, though the title is expected to return to the platform eventually. Despite its removal from GOG, the game remains widely accessible on major competing storefronts.
Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga carries an 81 Metacritic score and a 4.3 out of 5 star rating on GOG. The title costs $20 and requires 30 hours for mainline completion, extending to 60 hours for full content.

Season Trajectory
This delisting follows the GOG store removal cycle of 2026, which saw several other titles pulled from the marketplace in recent months. The move reflects broader trends in digital storefront licensing as games shift between different publishers.
Players who own the game can continue to play their current version of the RPG, but new buyers must utilize the Steam or Epic Games Store marketplaces to purchase the title. The removal does not impact the game's 30-hour mainline campaign or its 60-hour full completion requirement.
The takeaway
Digital store removals are often temporary and tied to changes in publishing agreements. Players interested in the game should ensure they purchase their copies through alternative platforms to maintain continuous access.
