My Hero Academia: The Strongest, the popular action RPG based on Kohei Horikoshi's acclaimed anime, is shutting down. Xin Yuan Studios recently announced the end of service (EOS) for the game, which launched globally in May 2021 under Sony Pictures Television, KOMOE Game Corporation, and A-Plus Japan. The game allowed players to explore the My Hero Academia universe, recruit beloved characters like Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki, and embark on missions within a richly detailed open world.
My Hero Academia: The Strongest Shutdown Date
The game's servers will officially shut down on March 31st, 2025. On February 24th, 2025, the game was removed from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, and in-app purchases were disabled. After March 31st, all servers will be taken offline, and official social media accounts will be deleted. However, customer support will remain available for an additional 30 days to address any player inquiries. Players who made purchases between January 25th and February 24th, 2025, are eligible for a refund before the server shutdown. A farewell gift, including SSS+ Limited Time Heroes and 100,000 Hero Coins, will be sent to all players in the game's final weeks. Details can be found on the game's official website.
Reasons for Shutdown
The closure of My Hero Academia: The Strongest, while unfortunate, isn't entirely unexpected in the often volatile gacha game market. Despite a strong initial launch featuring engaging PvP combat and a weighty combat system, the game saw a decline over time. A lack of significant updates following its first anniversary, coupled with reported mismanagement, ultimately contributed to its end. Its four-year lifespan, considering the lack of regular updates, is arguably noteworthy.
