NPIXEL has announced the unfortunate closure of Gran Saga, ending its international service on April 30th, 2025. In-app purchases are already disabled. Players who made purchases may request refunds until May 30th, though this is subject to usage and store policies.
Launched in Japan in 2021 to considerable success, the global version, debuting only in November 2024, lasted less than six months. Financial instability and the challenges of competing in a saturated global market are cited as reasons for the closure. Established games with dedicated player bases create a difficult environment for new entrants, even those initially successful in other regions.
Gran Saga's closure reflects a broader trend in the gacha RPG market. The highly competitive landscape makes survival challenging for new or niche titles. This follows the recent closure of *My Hero Academia: The Strongest Hero* and several others.
For players seeking a refund for in-app purchases, inquiries must be submitted by May 30th. Successful refunds depend on purchase usage and store policies.
This closure marks a difficult farewell for players of Gran Saga. If you're looking for a new mobile MMO, check out our list of the best MMOs for Android.
