KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global Shuts Down - Offline Version in Question?

For the third day in a row, we're discussing another game's end of service (EOS). KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global has officially reached its final day on January 30th, with servers preparing for a shutdown. So, what's next for fans and the developers?

How Long Did This One Last?

Developed by Sumzap and initially published by Nexon before transitioning to Sesisoft, KonoSuba: Fantastic Days was indeed a delightful game. Despite its charm, the fantastic days of KonoSuba were relatively brief. The global servers of KonoSuba: Fantastic Days lasted for 3.5 years, whereas the Japanese servers managed to hold on for a solid 5 years. For an anime-based gacha game, this is a commendable duration, especially considering the declining revenue over time.

The developers have shifted their focus to the Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade gacha game. In the lead-up to the shutdown, they maintained engagement with voiced story updates and even released a final song just three weeks ago. They also organized a farewell livestream in December, featuring Kazuma's voice actor, adding a personal touch to the goodbye. The Japanese version went the extra mile by archiving the entire main story on their YouTube channel, allowing players to relive Kazuma and his dysfunctional crew's adventures. Additionally, an offline version was made available in Japan, preserving access to the game's story, voice lines, and character collection.

Unfortunately, the global version of KonoSuba: Fantastic Days won't have an offline version or a dedicated YouTube channel. However, fans can still enjoy the Japanese YouTube channel to spend more time with Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and the rest of the gang.

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