Xin Yuan Studios has recently announced the end of service (EOS) for *My Hero Academia: The Strongest*, the action RPG inspired by Kohei Horikoshi's beloved anime. Launched globally on mobile devices 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 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. As part of the wind-down process, the game was removed from the Google Play and iOS App Store for new downloads on February 24th, and in-game purchases were disabled on the same date. Following the server shutdown on March 31st, 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 post-shutdown to address any player inquiries. Players who made purchases between January 25th and February 24th, 2025, are eligible to apply for a refund before the servers go offline. In the final weeks leading up to the shutdown, the developers are set to distribute a farewell gift to all existing players, consisting of SSS+ Limited Time Heroes and 100,000 Hero Coins. More details on this can be found on the game's official website.
Why Is It Shutting Down?
The closure of *My Hero Academia: The Strongest* comes as no surprise in the competitive landscape of gacha RPGs. Having sustained for nearly four years, the game initially boasted a robust PvP system free from lag and a combat system that felt impactful. Despite a promising start, the game's appeal waned over time due to the absence of significant updates post its first anniversary and issues with mismanagement. It's noteworthy that the game managed to endure for as long as it did without regular content updates.
