One Punch Man: World Announces Early Shutdown

Crunchyroll Games and developer Perfect World have announced that One Punch Man: World, their high-profile 3D action RPG, will officially shut down on February 27, 2026. The news comes as a surprise to many, as the game only launched in February 2025, meaning it will have been in service for exactly one year. While the development team expressed deep gratitude for the players’ support and enthusiasm, they did not provide a specific reason for the early termination of the service. The game has already been removed from major app stores, and all in-game purchases and top-up functionalities have been disabled effective immediately.

Final Days and Player Support

Existing players can still access the game and spend their remaining in-game currency, such as World Silver and Gold, until the servers go dark in late February. Unfortunately for fans, the developers have confirmed that there will be no refunds for past purchases and no plans for an offline version of the game. For those who encounter issues or have questions regarding their accounts during this final month, the One Punch Man: World customer support team will remain active and available until March 29, 2026.

Community Reaction and Future Outlook

The announcement has met with mixed reactions from the community. While some fans are calling for a future relaunch or a preservation effort to keep the game’s content accessible offline, many others point to management and monetization issues as the primary factors for the game’s struggle to find a stable audience. One Punch Man: World joins a growing list of anime-licensed mobile titles that have seen short lifespans in the competitive mobile market. Despite the high production values and faithful adaptation of the source material, the hero’s journey in this digital world is officially coming to a close.
