One Punch Man World shutdown has finally been confirmed by the developers of the game, following multiple rumours since the beginning of the year. While the game's popularity rose following its worldwide launch in 2024 to a short yet eager gaming community, over the years, multiple issues have questioned the game's longevity.

The rumours at the beginning of the year caused quite a stir in the community; it was the official announcement earlier today that put the last nail in the coffin.

One Punch Man World Shutdown

Following the One Punch Man World Codes for January, this has been the second biggest news of the game so far this year. Following multiple leaks and players' assumptions about the game's progress, the developers themselves have brought the official news to the community today.

@onepunchman_w took it to their official X to share the One Punch Man World shutdown news with the community. The post was made on 12th January, 2026, around 1:30 PM (IST).

According to the announcement, the game will shut down on 27th February, 2026. However, multiple features will be disabled before then.

On 3rd November 2021, the early access to the game was announced. Three years later, we had the worldwide release of the game as the One Punch Man World release date was 1st February, 2024. While sharing the bad news with the community earlier today, the developers thanked everyone for their continuous support throughout the journey.

Community Reactions to the One Punch Man World Shutdown News

While the One Punch Man World shutdown news has been nothing but devastating, many of the players have already foreseen this due to the approach from the developers.

“Literally nobody is surprised. You guys absolutely fumbled this poorly. Had a decent game and just let it burn. Kept it up long enough for crunchy to get another big IP game up to replace it also, things like that don't go unnoticed. Do better. I am Sorry for the team however,” @DFreeDBZHD said on X.

"Everything about the One Punch Man franchise has been so poorly managed after S1 of the anime.
It's one of the biggest shameful events in anime history," @BASEDPLAYER0 said on X.

Given all the dates have been revealed for the shutdown of One Punch Man World, if you are an active player of the game, make the most use of it before the game bids its final goodbye in February.
