KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global Version Shuts Down, Is It Getting an Offline Version?

KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global Server Shutdown: A Farewell to Konosuba's Gacha Adventure

Another gacha game bites the dust. Following a three-and-a-half-year run, KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global officially shut down its servers on January 30th. While a relatively short lifespan compared to its Japanese counterpart (five years), it's a respectable run for an anime-based gacha, particularly given declining revenue in recent times.

A Short but Memorable Run

Developed by Sumzap and published by Nexon initially, then Sesisoft, KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global offered a fun experience. The developers clearly dedicated themselves to a proper send-off, releasing voiced story updates and a final song just three weeks before the shutdown. A farewell livestream in December even featured Kazuma's voice actor.

The Japanese version further cemented its legacy by archiving the entire main story on YouTube, allowing players to revisit the antics of Kazuma and his companions. An offline version also grants continued access to the story, voice lines, and character collection.

Unfortunately, the Global version lacks both an offline mode and a dedicated YouTube archive. However, fans can still enjoy the Japanese YouTube channel for a continued dose of Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and the rest of the cast.

This concludes our coverage of the KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global shutdown. Stay tuned for our next update on the February Community Day in Pokémon Go, featuring Karrablast and Shelmet.
