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 initially by Nexon before transitioning to 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, particularly given declining revenue in recent times.

The developers, having shifted focus to the Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade gacha game, maintained active support for KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global until the very end. This included recent voiced story updates and a final song release just three weeks prior to closure. A farewell livestream in December, featuring Kazuma's voice actor, further demonstrated their commitment.

The Japanese version offered players a unique parting gift: an archive of the entire main story on their YouTube channel. This allows fans to revisit the comedic misadventures of Kazuma and his companions at their leisure. An offline version, preserving story, voice lines, and character collections, was also provided.

Unfortunately, the Global version lacks both an offline mode and a dedicated YouTube archive. However, dedicated fans can still access the Japanese YouTube channel for a complete experience.

This concludes our coverage of the KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global shutdown. Stay tuned for our next article covering the February Community Day in Pokémon Go, featuring Karrablast and Shelmet.
