As a dedicated fan who has been on this KonoSuba: Fantastic Days journey since its humble beginnings, I can’t help but feel a tinge of sadness as I read about its upcoming shutdown. It feels like a dear friend is moving away, taking with them the countless hours of adventure and camaraderie we shared.
On January 30, 2025, Sumzap has revealed that the service for the mobile game “KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World! Fantastic Days” will come to an end. This decision applies to both the original Japanese and global English versions of the game, with the service termination taking place at 15:00 JST / 06:00 UTC.
As an enthusiastic fan, I’d like to set the record straight: The KonoSuba mobile game first appeared in Japan way back in late February 2020. Exciting news followed later in the same year when Nexon announced they were planning a global release for 2021. True to their word, it launched on August 19th. If you consider the entire lifespan of the Japanese version, that means we’re just one month away from celebrating its 5-year anniversary!
Although the global shutdown will occur simultaneously, there are distinctions in post-End-of-Service (EoS) management between the Japanese and international versions. The Japanese release announcement specifies a switch to an offline archive app on the shutdown date, which is not mentioned for the English version. However, both versions assure daily free Quartz and refunds for unutilized paid Quartz and items.
You can also read a copy of the English announcement for KonoSuba: Fantastic Days’ impending shutdown right below, especially since the game’s official site and social media accounts will also be taken down not long after the server’s sunset.

Obtaining a type of digital currency, like Quartz (Complimentary), either through participating in events or receiving it as an added perk upon making product transactions.
