Why Is It Shutting Down?

The closure of a gacha RPG like My Hero Academia: The Strongest may not come as a shock to many. The game managed to stay operational for nearly four years, which is quite an achievement. At its launch, it boasted a robust PvP system without lag and a combat system that felt impactful. However, over time, the game's popularity waned. The absence of significant updates since its first anniversary, coupled with mismanagement issues, contributed to its eventual decline. It's remarkable that it lasted as long as it did without consistent updates.
