Konosuba: Fantastic Days Announces Closure, Plans 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 the global and Japanese servers will shut down simultaneously. However, a glimmer of hope remains for fans.

An offline version is reportedly under development, allowing players to revisit the main storyline, key quests, and significant events. While details remain scarce, this offline experience aims to preserve the memories created within the game.

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.

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 adaptation of the beloved KonoSuba franchise. The game's charming narrative, appealing visuals, and visual novel-style story mode were well-received.

Unfortunately, KonoSuba: Fantastic Days shares the fate of many gacha RPGs, succumbing to the challenges faced by the genre. Rising production costs and dwindling player engagement have contributed to its closure, mirroring the trend of several anime-based games shutting down this year.

With only a few months remaining, now is the perfect opportunity to experience KonoSuba: Fantastic Days before its servers go offline. Download the game on the Google Play Store. For more gaming news, check out our article on Orna: The GPS MMORPG’s Conqueror’s Guild for PvP Battles.
