Fungo Global has officially announced the closure of Cat Fantasy in Southeast Asia, effective January 17, 2025. This decision follows the game’s first anniversary celebration and comes just months after its global release in August 2024. The lack of robust promotional efforts in the region has been cited as a key factor in the game’s underperformance.
Key Closure Details
- Download Access Disabled: As of this week, new downloads of Cat Fantasy are no longer available in Southeast Asia.
- Final Server Shutdown: Players can continue accessing the game servers until January 17, 2025.
- Resource Transfer and Refunds: A refund mechanism is available for players who made in-game purchases. Additionally, Fungo Global offers a unique transfer service allowing players to move their purchased resources to the global or Chinese servers. This option excludes grind-based resources.
Transfer Benefits and Deadline
Players who opt to transfer their purchased resources will receive compensation in the form of:
- Limited SSR Chests
- SSR Cato Selection Chests
- 1,000,000 Cato Coins
The transfer process is available until January 24, 2025, and requires players to provide account details and resource quantities to customer support.
Impact on the Gaming Community
While the Southeast Asian servers will shut down, the global and Chinese versions of Cat Fantasy remain active. The game’s closure in the region reflects the challenges of maintaining a niche gacha RPG in a competitive market.
