My Hero Academia: The Strongest, the popular mobile action RPG based on Kohei Horikoshi's anime, is shutting down. Xin Yuan Studios, the developer, recently made the announcement. Published by Sony Pictures Television, KOMOE Game Corporation, and A-Plus Japan, the game launched globally in May 2021, allowing players to explore the My Hero Academia universe, recruit beloved 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 iOS 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 players in the game's final weeks. Details can be found on the game's official website.
Reasons for Shutdown
The shutdown of My Hero Academia: The Strongest, while unfortunate, isn't entirely unexpected in the gacha RPG market. Despite a strong initial launch featuring engaging PvP combat and a weighty combat system, the game saw a decline over its four-year lifespan. A lack of major updates after its first anniversary and reported mismanagement contributed to its eventual closure. The game's longevity without regular updates is, in itself, noteworthy.
