One Punch Man: World is officially coming to an end. The game’s operations team has confirmed that service for the anime-based title will shut down on February 27, 2026, bringing the live-service run to a close just over two years after launch.

The announcement was shared directly with players, with the developers stating that the decision was not made lightly. While no specific reason was given for the shutdown, the message thanked the community for its ongoing support and enthusiasm throughout the game’s lifespan.

In the lead-up to the shutdown, several changes will take effect starting January 12, 2026. From that date, all in-game purchases and top-up options will be disabled, meaning players will no longer be able to spend real money in One Punch Man: World. Any remaining premium currencies, including World Silver and World Gold, can still be used until the servers go offline.

January 12 also marks the beginning of a broader wind-down. New account creation will be closed, the game will be removed from all app stores, and the official Discord server will be shut down. Customer support will remain available for a limited time after the game’s closure, with the support team continuing to handle player inquiries until March 29, 2026.

The final shutdown arrives on February 27, 2026, at 6:00 AM (UTC-2). At that point, logins will be disabled entirely, servers will go offline, and the game will no longer be playable. The official website and social media channels will also be closed as part of the end-of-service process.

For fans, the news is another reminder of the fragile nature of licensed live-service games. Despite the strength of the One Punch Man brand and the game’s initial interest, One Punch Man: World struggled to maintain long-term momentum in an increasingly crowded mobile and live-service market.

The shutdown also highlights a familiar pattern: once support ends, the experience disappears entirely. Without an offline mode or preservation plan, One Punch Man: World will effectively cease to exist once the servers go dark, leaving only memories, screenshots, and recorded footage behind.

Still, the developers have encouraged players to enjoy the remaining time they have with the game. With over a year until the final shutdown, fans will have one last opportunity to log in, spend remaining currency, and revisit the world one final time.

As February 2026 approaches, One Punch Man: World will join a growing list of live-service titles that burned brightly for a moment before quietly fading away a reminder that in the world of always-online games, nothing lasts forever.
