Konosuba: Fantastic Days is Shutting Down with a Potential Offline Version

KonoSuba: Fantastic Days to Conclude Service in January 2025

The popular mobile RPG, KonoSuba: Fantastic Days, developed by Sesisoft, will cease operations on January 30th, 2025, marking the end of its nearly five-year run. Both global and Japanese servers will shut down simultaneously. However, a glimmer of hope remains for fans.

An offline version is reportedly under development, aiming to preserve the core experience. This offline version will supposedly include the main storyline, key quests, and significant events, allowing players to revisit their favorite moments. Further details on this offline release are pending.

In-App Purchases and Refunds

The developers are handling the shutdown with transparency. Official channels will close on February 28th, 2025. In-app purchases were disabled on October 31st, 2024.

Players can still utilize existing in-game Quartz and other items until the service ends. Refunds for unused Quartz or unclaimed purchases from early 2024 are available until January 30th, 2025, for eligible players.

A Look Back at KonoSuba: Fantastic Days

Initially launched in Japan in February 2020 and globally in August 2021, KonoSuba: Fantastic Days was the first mobile game based on the beloved KonoSuba franchise. The game featured an engaging narrative set in a world threatened by the Devil King's army, praised for its charming storytelling, appealing visuals, and enjoyable visual novel-style story mode.

Unfortunately, KonoSuba: Fantastic Days shares the fate of many gacha RPGs, succumbing to the challenges faced by the genre in 2024. Many anime-based games have faced closure this year, often due to declining player engagement or unsustainable production costs.

With only a few months remaining, players who haven't yet experienced KonoSuba: Fantastic Days still have a chance to jump in before the servers close. Download it now on the Google Play Store.
