Bandai Namco Entertainment will shut down the servers for the mobile game My Hero Ultra Impact on May 17, 2026. The closure occurs at 10:59 PM ET, which corresponds to 7:59 PM PT and 11:59 PM JST on May 18. The free-to-play title will cease operations on iOS and Android platforms after this deadline.
In-app purchases disabled since March 17, 2026
The game launched in Japan in May 2021 and arrived globally in February 2022. Bandai Namco disabled in-app purchases on March 17, 2026, more than two months before the final shutdown. Players must use remaining Hero Gems and items before the servers go offline. The company has confirmed that no offline version or archive mode is planned for the title.
Bandai Namco indicated it would share refund details for unused currency at a later date but has not yet published the final refund process. Some players described the game as still doing well at the time of closure. The publisher did not explain the specific reasons for ending the service.
This event marks the second My Hero Academia mobile title to close in over a year. The shutdown affects the global community that has played the game since its international release in 2022. The termination ends all online functionality and multiplayer features for the franchise's mobile entry.
Bandai Namco has not confirmed the launch window for any potential successor or related service. The company has not provided a timeline for when refund information will become available to users.
