Today marks the third consecutive day of reporting on another game's end-of-service (EOS), and this time it's KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global that has officially concluded its journey. As of January 30th, the servers are on the brink of shutting down. So, what's next for fans of this beloved anime-based gacha game?
Developed by Sumzap and initially published by Nexon before transitioning to Sesisoft, KonoSuba: Fantastic Days was indeed a good game. However, its fantastic days were relatively short-lived. The global servers managed to last for 3.5 years, whereas the Japanese servers endured for a commendable 5 years. For an anime-based gacha game, especially one experiencing declining revenue, this is a respectable run.
The developers have shifted their focus to the Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade gacha game. Despite this transition, they maintained dedication to KonoSuba until the very end, providing voiced story updates and releasing a final song just three weeks ago. They also organized a farewell livestream in December, featuring Kazuma's voice actor, showcasing their commitment to the community.
The Japanese version took it a step further by archiving the entire main story on their YouTube channel, allowing fans to relive the antics of Kazuma and his quirky team at any time. Additionally, they offered an offline version of the game, enabling players to continue enjoying the story, voice lines, and character collection.
Unfortunately, KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global does not have an offline version planned, nor does it have a dedicated YouTube channel. However, fans can still visit the Japanese YouTube channel to spend more time with Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and the rest of the crew.
That concludes our coverage on the shutdown of KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global. Stay tuned for our next piece on Karrablast and Shelmet during the February Community Day of Pokémon Go.
