In a recent announcement from Xin Yuan Studios, it has been revealed that *My Hero Academia: The Strongest*, the action RPG based on Kohei Horikoshi's beloved anime, will be reaching its end of service (EOS). Launched globally on mobile devices in May 2021, the game allowed players to immerse themselves in the My Hero Academia universe, teaming up with iconic characters such as Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki to embark on missions within a richly detailed open world. The game was brought to us by publishers Sony Pictures Television, KOMOE Game Corporation, and A-Plus Japan.
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. As part of the wind-down process, the game was removed from both the Google Play and iOS App Store for new downloads on February 24th, 2025, and in-game purchases were disabled on the same date. Once the servers go offline on March 31st, all official social media accounts associated with the game will also be deleted.
However, the customer support team will remain available for an additional 30 days after the server shutdown to address any inquiries. Players who made purchases between January 25th and February 24th, 2025, are eligible to apply for refunds before the servers go offline. In a heartfelt gesture, the developers have planned a farewell gift for all existing players, which will be distributed via reward mail containing SSS+ Limited Time Heroes and 100,000 Hero Coins. For more details, players are encouraged to visit the game's official website.
Why Is It Shutting Down?
The closure of a gacha RPG like *My Hero Academia: The Strongest* may not come as a shock in today's gaming landscape. The game managed to hold on for nearly four years, initially gaining traction with its solid PvP features and a combat system that felt impactful and lag-free. Despite a promising launch, the game's appeal waned over time due to a lack of significant updates post its first anniversary and evident mismanagement. It's noteworthy that the game sustained itself for as long as it did without consistent content refreshes.
