Xin Yuan Studios has officially announced the end of service (EOS) for *My Hero Academia: The Strongest*, the action RPG inspired by Kohei Horikoshi's beloved anime. Launched globally on mobile devices in May 2021, the game was published by Sony Pictures Television, KOMOE Game Corporation, and A-Plus Japan. It allowed players to immerse themselves in the *My Hero Academia* universe, teaming up with iconic characters like Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki to embark on missions within a meticulously designed open world.
When Is My Hero Academia: The Strongest Shutting Down?
The servers for *My Hero Academia: The Strongest* are scheduled to shut down on March 31st, 2025. The game was delisted from Google Play and the iOS App Store for new downloads starting February 24th, 2025, and in-game purchases were disabled on the same date. Post March 31st, 2025, the servers will cease operation, and all official social media accounts associated with the game will be deleted.
However, the customer support team will remain available for an additional 30 days to address any inquiries. Players who made purchases between January 25th and February 24th, 2025, are eligible to apply for refunds before the server shutdown. As a farewell gesture, the developers have planned a special gift for all existing players, which will be delivered via reward mail containing SSS+ Limited Time Heroes and 100,000 Hero Coins. More details can be found on the game’s official website.
Why Is It Shutting Down?
The closure of a gacha RPG like *My Hero Academia: The Strongest* is not an uncommon occurrence in today's gaming landscape. Despite its robust launch and commendable features such as lag-free PvP and a dynamic combat system, the game struggled to maintain momentum. After its first anniversary, the game received no significant updates, and there were evident issues with mismanagement. It's quite remarkable that it managed to stay operational for nearly four years without consistent content updates.
Stay tuned for more gaming news, including updates on *Legacy – Reawakening*, a new point-and-click adventure featuring steampunk ruins and eerie mysteries.
