My Hero Academia: The Strongest Announces EOS After 4 Years of Service

My Hero Academia: The Strongest, the popular action RPG based on Kohei Horikoshi's beloved anime, is officially ending its run. Xin Yuan Studios recently announced the game's end-of-service (EOS), bringing a close to its global mobile adventure which began in May 2021. Published by Sony Pictures Television, KOMOE Game Corporation, and A-Plus Japan, the game allowed players to immerse themselves in the My Hero Academia universe, recruiting iconic characters like Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki to complete missions within a richly detailed open world.

My Hero Academia: The Strongest Shutdown Date

The game's servers will be permanently shut down on March 31st, 2025. On February 24th, 2025, the game was removed from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, and in-app purchases were disabled. Following the server shutdown on March 31st, all official social media accounts will be deactivated. However, customer support will remain available for an additional 30 days to address any player inquiries. Players who made purchases between January 25th and February 24th, 2025, are eligible for a refund before the servers shut down.

As a final thank you to its loyal players, the developers are distributing a farewell gift in the game's final weeks. This includes a reward mail containing SSS+ Limited Time Heroes and 100,000 Hero Coins. Further details can be found on the game's official website.

Reasons Behind the Shutdown

The closure of My Hero Academia: The Strongest, while unfortunate, isn't entirely unexpected in the often-volatile gacha game market. Despite a strong start with engaging PvP and weighty combat, the game’s momentum waned over its approximately four-year lifespan. A lack of significant updates after its first anniversary, coupled with reported mismanagement, ultimately contributed to its decline. The game's longevity without regular updates is, in itself, a testament to its initial appeal.
