Farewell to KonoSuba Fantastic Days! The smartphone game will say goodbye in January 2025.
The gaming community laments the closure of one of the most beloved RPGs based on the popular anime series.
An unexpected announcement
On November 2, 2024, the official website of "KonoSuba: Fantastic Days"surprised fans by announcing that the game's service will end on January 30, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. (Japan time). The mobile RPG, inspired by the hit light novel and anime series "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!", has been a fan favorite since its February 2020 launch in Japan and subsequent global expansion in August 2021.
Why is the game closed?
Although the official statement does not detail the specific reasons for the closure, it is common for factors such as declining microtransaction revenue, a declining player base or challenges in constantly updating content to influence such decisions. The mobile gaming market is highly competitive, and staying relevant can be a challenge even for titles based on popular franchises.
Content to the end
Sumzap, the game's developer, has assured that it will continue to release content related to the main story, as well as special events and campaigns, until the service's definitive closure. This decision aims to offer players a complete and satisfying experience in the remaining months.
An offline version is on the way
As a gesture to the community, Sumzap has announced the development of an offline version of the game, allowing fans to enjoy certain aspects of the application even after the game is closed. However, this version will only be available to Japanese players. The English version, currently managed by Seisoft, has not confirmed a similar project, which has raised concerns among international players.
Community reactions
The news of the closure has generated a wave of reactions on social networks and dedicated forums. Many players are expressing their sadness and nostalgia, sharing memories and highlights from the game. Some have organized farewell events and campaigns to keep the community alive beyond the closure.
