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. Published by Sony Pictures Television, KOMOE Game Corporation, and A-Plus Japan, the game allowed players to explore the My Hero Academia universe, recruit iconic 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 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. 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. The game enjoyed a strong initial launch, boasting solid PvP gameplay and a weighty combat system. However, after its first anniversary, major updates ceased, and mismanagement contributed to its decline. Despite this lack of consistent updates, the game surprisingly persevered for approximately four years.
