DanMachi Battle Chronicle to Shut Down on September 29, 2025 – Final Update & Legacy
The beloved 3D action RPG DanMachi Battle Chronicle—officially titled Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Battle Chronicle—has announced its official end-of-service (EOS), marking the closure of a significant chapter in the long-running DanMachi multimedia franchise.
🔴 Final Shutdown Date: September 29, 2025
After nearly two years of service since its global launch in August 2023, the game will permanently shut down on September 29, 2025. On this date:
- All servers will close permanently.
- The game will no longer be available for download on:
- Apple App Store (iOS)
- Google Play Store (Android)
- PC (Windows via official client)
- Player accounts and progress will be inaccessible post-shutdown.
🛑 Key Changes Ahead of Shutdown
- Paid Selas (In-Game Currency) Disabled: All purchases of Paid Selas will be disabled starting July 30, 2025, during the maintenance window. However, players who have unused currency can still spend it until the shutdown.
- Refund Window Opens: Unused Paid Selas can be refunded between September 29 and December 28, 2025. Players must submit requests through the official refund portal.
- Discord & Community Ends: The official DanMachi Battle Chronicle Discord server will shut down on July 31, 2025. The "Join the Community" mission will be removed from the game’s Options menu later that month.
- Event Tokens Expire: Any remaining Training Camp event tokens will expire after the final event concludes in July.
📱 Offline Version for Japanese Players (Limited Access)
A special offline version is currently in development exclusively for Japanese Android and iOS users. While it will allow limited access to some account data, it will not include online features, gacha systems, or multiplayer content. Players are encouraged to transfer progress before the final shutdown.
🎉 Final Anniversary Event – July 30, 2025
The game’s farewell celebration kicks off on July 30, 2025, marking its second anniversary with a heartfelt, story-driven event. Key highlights:
- Original Story Content: New narrative chapters written specifically for the final event—no quests or rankings.
- Limited-Edition Scene Card: A commemorative digital card featuring a special artwork will be awarded to all participating players.
- Trailer Premiere: An emotional announcement trailer will debut on July 21, 2025, sharing final reflections from the development team.
📉 Industry Context: The Decline of Long-Running Gacha RPGs
The shutdown follows the earlier closure of DanMachi Memoria Freese in February 2024, after seven years of operation. This pattern reflects a growing trend in the mobile gaming industry: shorter lifecycle expectations for gacha RPGs, driven by rising development costs, player fatigue, and shifting market dynamics.
