My Hero Academia: The Strongest, the popular mobile action RPG based on Kohei Horikoshi's anime, is officially ending its service. Xin Yuan Studios recently announced the game's end-of-service (EOS), bringing a close to its global run which began in May 2021. Published by 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 detailed open world.
My Hero Academia: The Strongest Shutdown Date
The game's servers will be permanently shut down on March 31st, 2025. On February 24th, 2025, the game was removed from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, and in-app purchases were disabled. Following the server shutdown on March 31st, all official social media accounts will be deactivated. 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 servers close. A farewell gift, including SSS+ Limited Time Heroes and 100,000 Hero Coins, will be sent to all remaining 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 gacha game market. Despite a strong initial launch featuring engaging PvP combat and a satisfying combat system, the game experienced a decline over time. A lack of significant updates following its first anniversary, coupled with reported mismanagement, contributed to its eventual sunset. Its four-year lifespan, considering the lack of consistent updates, is arguably a testament to its initial appeal.
