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.
When Will My Hero Academia: The Strongest Shut Down?
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 the 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. As a final thank you, all existing players will receive a farewell gift containing SSS+ Limited Time Heroes and 100,000 Hero Coins, details of which can be found on the game's official website.
Why Is the Game Shutting Down?
The closure of gacha RPGs is unfortunately becoming increasingly common. My Hero Academia: The Strongest enjoyed a successful launch, boasting strong PvP combat with minimal lag and a satisfying combat system. However, despite this promising start, the game's momentum eventually faded. A lack of major updates after its first anniversary, coupled with reported mismanagement, contributed to its decline. Its longevity of approximately four years without consistent updates is, in itself, noteworthy.
