My Hero Academia: The Strongest, the popular action RPG based on Kohei Horikoshi's beloved anime, is officially ending its run. Xin Yuan Studios recently announced the game's end of service (EOS), bringing a close to the mobile adventure that launched globally in May 2021. Published by Sony Pictures Television, KOMOE Game Corporation, and A-Plus Japan, the game allowed players to immerse themselves in the My Hero Academia universe, recruiting iconic characters like Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki to tackle missions within a richly 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 the Apple App Store, and in-app purchases were disabled. Following the server shutdown on March 31st, all 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 servers shut down.
A farewell gift awaits existing players in the game's final weeks: a reward mail containing SSS+ Limited Time Heroes and 100,000 Hero Coins. Further details can be found on the game's official website.
Reasons for the Shutdown
The shutdown of a gacha RPG, while unfortunate, isn't entirely uncommon. My Hero Academia: The Strongest enjoyed a successful initial launch, boasting smooth PvP combat and a satisfyingly weighty combat system. However, its momentum eventually waned. A lack of significant updates after its first anniversary, coupled with reported mismanagement, contributed to its decline. Its longevity of nearly four years without regular updates is, in itself, a testament to its initial appeal.
