Xin Yuan Studios has officially announced the end of service (EOS) for My Hero Academia: The Strongest, the action RPG inspired by Kohei Horikoshi's renowned anime series. Launched globally on mobile platforms in May 2021, this game, published by Sony Pictures Television, KOMOE Game Corporation, and A-Plus Japan, allowed players to immerse themselves in the My Hero Academia universe, teaming up with iconic characters such as Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki to tackle missions across a meticulously designed open world.
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. The game was removed from Google Play and the iOS App Store for new downloads on February 24th, 2025, and in-game purchases were disabled on the same date. Post-March 31st, 2025, the servers will be permanently closed, and all official social media accounts associated with the game will be deleted.
However, the customer support team will remain available for an additional 30 days after the shutdown to address any player inquiries. If you made any purchases between January 25th and February 24th, 2025, you're eligible to apply for a refund before the servers go offline.
In the game's final weeks, the developers have planned a special farewell gift for all existing players. Every player will receive a reward mail containing SSS+ Limited Time Heroes and 100,000 Hero Coins. For more details on this, you can visit the game’s official website.
Why Is It Shutting Down?
The closure of a gacha RPG like My Hero Academia: The Strongest might not come as a shock in today's gaming landscape. Having lasted nearly four years, the game enjoyed a robust start with a lag-free PvP experience and a combat system that felt impactful. However, the game's momentum waned over time. After its first anniversary, it saw no significant updates, and there were evident signs of mismanagement. It's quite remarkable that it managed to stay operational for as long as it did without consistent updates.
That concludes our update on My Hero Academia: The Strongest. In the meantime, don't miss our coverage on Legacy – Reawakening, a new point-and-click adventure that explores steampunk ruins and eerie mysteries.
