KonoSuba: Fantastic Days to Conclude Service on January 30, 2025
Sesisoft's popular RPG, KonoSuba: Fantastic Days, will be ending its service on January 30th, 2025, after a nearly five-year run. Both the global and Japanese servers will shut down simultaneously. However, there's a potential bright spot: developers are exploring the possibility of releasing a limited offline version preserving the main storyline, key quests, and events. Details on this offline version remain scarce.
In-App Purchases and Refunds
The developers are handling the shutdown smoothly. Official channels will close on February 28th, 2025, and in-app purchases were disabled on October 31st, 2024. Players can still utilize existing in-game Quartz and 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 KonoSuba franchise. The game featured a charming narrative set in a world under threat from the Devil King's army, boasting appealing visuals and a well-executed visual novel-style story mode.
Unfortunately, like many gacha RPGs, KonoSuba: Fantastic Days has reached the end of its lifecycle. The closure reflects a trend in the anime gaming industry this year, with several titles shutting down due to challenges maintaining player engagement or managing high production costs.
