My Hero Academia: The Strongest, the popular mobile action RPG based on Kohei Horikoshi's anime, is ending its run. Xin Yuan Studios announced the game's closure, with servers officially shutting down on March 31st, 2025.

Reasons for Closure:
The game's closure, while unfortunate, isn't entirely unexpected in the gacha RPG market. Despite a strong initial launch with engaging PvP and a robust combat system, My Hero Academia: The Strongest experienced a decline due to a lack of major updates after its first anniversary and reported mismanagement. Its four-year lifespan, considering the infrequent updates, is notable.
