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

KonoSuba: Fantastic Days to Conclude Service in January 2025

Sesisoft's popular RPG, KonoSuba: Fantastic Days, 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 limited offline mode will supposedly include the main storyline, key quests, and significant events. Further details regarding the offline version's availability and features are yet to be revealed.

In-App Purchases and Refunds

The developers are handling the shutdown responsibly. 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 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 KonoSuba franchise. The game's charming narrative, appealing visuals, and visual novel-style story mode were well-received.

Despite its initial success, KonoSuba: Fantastic Days shares the fate of many gacha RPGs. The rising costs of maintaining high production values and the challenge of sustaining player engagement have led to its closure, mirroring a trend seen in several anime-based games this year.

With only a few months remaining, players who haven't experienced KonoSuba: Fantastic Days are encouraged to download it from the Google Play Store before the servers go offline. For more gaming news, be sure to check out our coverage of Orna: The GPS MMORPG's Conqueror's Guild for PvP Battles.
