Grand Saga is shutting down on April 30th, 2025, ending its brief international run. In-app purchases are already disabled, and players have until May 30th to request refunds for any past purchases (though approvals depend on usage and other factors).
Launched in Japan in 2021 to considerable success, the global version, debuting in November 2024, lasted only six months. The closure stems from financial difficulties and the inability to sustain the service in the fiercely competitive global mobile gaming market. Established games with loyal player bases present a significant hurdle for newcomers, especially without a truly innovative concept. Despite initial Japanese success, this momentum failed to translate internationally.
This closure reflects a broader trend of gacha RPG shutdowns. The market’s saturation makes it challenging for new or niche games to survive long-term, as players tend to favor established titles.
This news will undoubtedly disappoint players who invested time in Ethprozen. However, it's a sadly familiar occurrence in the mobile gaming landscape.
