Gran Saga to close its doors next month

Gran Saga is shutting down on April 30th, 2025, ending its brief international run. In-app purchases are already disabled. Players who made purchases can request refunds until May 30th, though this may not be possible in all cases.

Launched in Japan in 2021 to considerable success, the global version, released 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 created a difficult environment for Gran Saga to thrive, despite its initial Japanese popularity.

This closure follows a trend of gacha RPG shutdowns, mirroring the recent closure of My Hero Academia: The Strongest Hero and others. The highly competitive mobile gaming market makes it difficult for new games to gain traction.

For players of Gran Saga, this is a disappointing end. However, numerous alternative MMOs are available on Android; check out our list of the best options for a suitable replacement.
