Reasons for Shutdown:
The closure of My Hero Academia: The Strongest, while unfortunate, isn't uncommon in the gacha game market. Despite a strong initial launch featuring engaging PvP combat and a robust system, the game experienced a decline over its four-year lifespan. A lack of major updates after its first anniversary and reported mismanagement contributed to its eventual closure.
