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

KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global Servers Shut Down After 3.5-Year Run

Another gacha game bites the dust. KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global, developed by Sumzap and published by Nexon (later Sesisoft), officially ended its service on January 30th. While a relatively short lifespan compared to its Japanese counterpart (5 years), its 3.5-year run is respectable for an anime-based gacha title, especially considering declining revenue in recent times.

The developers, having shifted focus to the Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade gacha game, ensured a fitting send-off. This included continued voiced story updates and a final song release just three weeks prior to the shutdown. A farewell livestream in December, featuring Kazuma's voice actor, further highlighted the dedication to the game's community.

The Japanese version even went the extra mile, archiving the complete main story on its YouTube channel, allowing players to revisit the antics of Kazuma and his companions at their leisure. An offline version also provides 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 archive 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 article covering Karrablast and Shelmet in Pokémon Go's February Community Day.
