KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global Server Shutdown After 3.5-Year Run
Another gacha game bites the dust. KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global, developed by Sumzap and published initially by Nexon before transitioning to Sesisoft, officially ended its service on January 30th. While a relatively short lifespan compared to its Japanese counterpart (which ran for 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 right up to the end, culminating in a final song release just three weeks prior to closure. A farewell livestream in December, featuring Kazuma's voice actor, further highlighted the dedication to the fanbase.
The Japanese version even went the extra mile by archiving the entire main story on its YouTube channel, allowing players to revisit the comedic antics of Kazuma and his party. 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 access the Japanese YouTube channel to relive their favorite moments with 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.
