KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global Server Shutdown After 3.5-Year Run
Another gacha game bites the dust. KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global officially ended its service on January 30th, marking the end of a 3.5-year run. While the global version concludes, its Japanese counterpart enjoyed a longer lifespan of 5 years.
A Respectable Run
Developed by Sumzap and published by Nexon (later Sesisoft), KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global provided a respectable run for an anime-based gacha title, particularly considering a period of declining revenue. The developers maintained active support until the very end, releasing voiced story updates and a final song just three weeks prior to the shutdown. A farewell livestream in December even featured Kazuma's voice actor.
Preserving the Memories
The Japanese version went the extra mile by archiving the entire main story on its YouTube channel, allowing players to revisit the adventures of Kazuma and his companions. An offline version also grants 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 enjoy the Japanese YouTube archive for continued access to the game's content.
What's Next?
With the KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global servers now offline, our attention turns to upcoming gaming news, including coverage of Karrablast and Shelmet in Pokémon Go's February Community Day.
