KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global Version Shuts Down, Is It Getting an Offline Version?

It’s the third consecutive day I’ve reported on a game’s end-of-service. This time, it’s KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Global, which officially shut down today, January 30th. The servers are now offline. So, what’s next for this beloved title?

How Long Did KonoSuba: Fantastic Days Last?

Developed by Sumzap and initially published by Nexon before transferring to Sesisoft, KonoSuba: Fantastic Days enjoyed a respectable run. While the Global version lasted 3.5 years, its Japanese counterpart thrived for a solid 5 years. This is a commendable lifespan for an anime-based gacha game, especially considering revenue had been declining for some time.

The developers clearly shifted their focus to the JJK gacha game (Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade). Even so, they supported KonoSuba: Fantastic Days until the very end, releasing voiced story updates and a final song just three weeks before shutdown.

A farewell livestream in December featured Kazuma's voice actor, adding a poignant touch to the closing. The Japanese version went further, archiving the entire main story on its YouTube channel, allowing players to revisit the antics of Kazuma and his crew anytime. An offline version also provides access to the story, voice lines, and character collection.

Unfortunately, the Global version of KonoSuba: Fantastic Days won't receive an offline version or dedicated YouTube archive. However, fans can still enjoy the Japanese YouTube channel for continued access to Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and the rest of the cast.
