Grand Saga is shutting down on April 30th, 2025, ending its brief international run. In-app purchases are already disabled, and players have until May 30th to request refunds for any items purchased.
Launched in Japan in 2021 to considerable success, the global version, debuting in November 2024, lasted only six months. The closure is attributed to financial instability and the challenges of competing in a saturated global market dominated by established games. While initially impressive, Gran Saga failed to gain significant traction internationally.
This closure reflects a broader trend of gacha RPG shutdowns. The highly competitive mobile gaming landscape makes it difficult for new titles to thrive without a truly unique selling point. Many games, like the recently closed My Hero Academia: The Strongest Hero, have succumbed to this market pressure.
Refunds for in-app purchases can be requested until May 30th, though success isn't guaranteed depending on usage and store policies. This news will undoubtedly disappoint dedicated players, but unfortunately, it's becoming increasingly common in the mobile gaming world.
