My Hero Academia Mobile Game Shuts Down After Four Years

My Hero Academia: The Strongest has reached its end of service, as announced by Xin Yuan Studios. This action RPG, inspired by Kohei Horikoshi's acclaimed anime series, originally launched globally for mobile devices in May 2021.

Jointly published by Sony Pictures Television, KOMOE Game Corporation, and A-Plus Japan, the game immersed players in the My Hero Academia world. Users could recruit fan-favorite characters such as Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki while tackling missions in a richly designed open-world environment.

When Is My Hero Academia: The Strongest Shutting Down?

Game servers will officially cease operations on March 31st, 2025. As of February 24th, the title has been removed from both Google Play and the iOS App Store, and all in-game purchase functionality has been disabled. Following the server shutdown, all official social media channels will be deactivated.

Customer support services will remain available for an additional 30 days to assist with player inquiries. Players who made purchases between January 25th and February 24th, 2025, may submit refund requests before the final server shutdown.

During the final operational period, developers will distribute a farewell gift to all remaining players. This special reward mail will contain SSS+ Limited Time Heroes and 100,000 Hero Coins. Complete details are available through the game's official website.

Why Is It Shutting Down?

The closure of gacha RPGs has become increasingly common in today's gaming landscape. My Hero Academia: The Strongest maintained operations for approximately four years. Initially, the game featured responsive PvP combat with minimal lag and a satisfyingly impactful battle system.

Despite this promising beginning, player engagement gradually declined. The game received no significant updates following its first anniversary, compounded by various management challenges. Its ability to sustain operations for this duration without consistent content updates is noteworthy.
