Xin Yuan Studios has officially announced the end of service (EOS) for My Hero Academia: The Strongest, a mobile action RPG inspired by Kohei Horikoshi's renowned anime. Launched globally in May 2021, the game, published by Sony Pictures Television, KOMOE Game Corporation, and A-Plus Japan, allowed players to immerse themselves in the My Hero Academia universe, recruit iconic characters such as Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki, and embark on missions within an intricately 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. As of February 24th, 2025, the game has been removed from the Google Play and iOS App Store for new downloads, and in-game purchases have been disabled. Post-March 31st, the servers will cease operation, and all official social media accounts associated with the game will be deleted.
However, the customer support team will remain active for an additional 30 days to address any inquiries. Players who made purchases between January 25th and February 24th, 2025, are eligible to apply for refunds before the server shutdown.
In the game's final weeks, the developers are offering a farewell gift to all existing players. Each player will receive a reward mail containing SSS+ Limited Time Heroes and 100,000 Hero Coins. More details about this can be found on the game’s official website.
Why Is It Shutting Down?
The shutdown of My Hero Academia: The Strongest comes as no surprise in the world of gacha RPGs. Despite a promising start and boasting solid PvP without lag, along with a robust combat system, the game struggled to maintain its momentum. The lack of significant updates post its first anniversary and apparent mismanagement led to its decline. It's noteworthy that the game managed to last nearly four years without regular content updates.
