KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global Server Shutdown After 3.5-Year Run
Another gacha game bites the dust. KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global, developed by Sumzap and published by Nexon (later Sesisoft), officially ended its service on January 30th. While a respectable 3.5-year run (compared to the Japanese version's 5 years), the game's closure marks the end of a chapter for fans.
Despite declining revenue in recent times, the developers maintained active support until the very end, including voiced story updates and a final song release just three weeks prior to the shutdown. A farewell livestream in December, featuring Kazuma's voice actor, further showcased their dedication.
The Japanese version offers an added bonus: a complete archive of the main story on YouTube, allowing players to revisit the antics of Kazuma and his companions at their leisure. An offline version also provides continued access to the story, voice lines, and character collection.
Unfortunately, the Global version lacks both an offline mode and a dedicated YouTube archive. However, fans can still explore the Japanese YouTube channel for a continued KonoSuba experience.
While the Global servers are now offline, the memory of Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and the rest of the crew lives on. Stay tuned for our next gaming news update covering the February Pokémon Go Community Day featuring Karrablast and Shelmet.
