One Strike and It's Over: One Punch Man: World Shutting Down Worldwide on February 27th
The project One Punch Man: World, which was highly anticipated as the premier 3D action game set in the "One Punch Man" universe, is officially ceasing operations. Publisher Crunchyroll Games has announced that the servers will be shut down on February 27, 2026.
The game didn't even last a year since its global release, making its journey one of the shortest among major anime game adaptations in recent times.
Players quickly completed the story content, and new updates were released too infrequently. The game world, while detailed, quickly became empty and boring for veterans. Many users complained about the greedy gacha system and the lack of value in purchases. Compared to competitors (like Solo Leveling: Arise or games from Hoyoverse), progress in OPM: World felt too slow without monetary investment.
