After running for nearly a decade, Fantasy War Tactics R has announced its end of service. All the turn-based tactics, grid-based movement, and strategic team building are coming to a close. It’s disappointing—if you’ve played, you likely understand.
The game launched in November 2015 by Nexon GT and was published by Nexon. However, it was later transferred to Valofe during Season 2, a move that drew heavy criticism. Since then, many longtime players felt the game’s original spirit gradually faded.
When Is the Fantasy War Tactics R EOS?
The service will end on July 29th, 2025, at 10:00 AM KST. This final shutdown comes with a few last updates for Fantasy War Tactics R.
In-app purchases will be disabled on June 24th, 2025, at 08:00 AM KST. You’ll still be able to spend your existing in-game currency until the servers go offline.
If you bought the Premium Level Up Package but haven’t claimed all rewards, don’t worry—a final Premium Set Reward will be distributed after the next maintenance.
A Farewell Event runs from June 24th to July 29th. You can find it on the Google Play Store, perhaps as a final tribute.
Ever Played It?
Fantasy War Tactics R debuted in 154 countries, offering a fresh take on mobile SRPGs. It features 12 regions, 180 dungeons, and over 50 heroes.
It introduces directional combat and rock-paper-scissors mechanics. Its standout feature is the ability to acquire most heroes through gene farming rather than relying solely on gacha pulls.
After transitioning to Valofe, the game began to change significantly. Balance adjustments felt inconsistent. Updates grew rare, and community interaction dwindled.
So, in hindsight, Fantasy War Tactics R’s end was perhaps inevitable. Let us know in the comments if you ever played and what you thought of it.
