Shadowverse has been available for 10 years since its launch on June 17, 2016, and fans are expressing their sadness over the news alongside words of appreciation for the developers' hard work.
Moving forward, players can continue to enjoy the franchise with the successor title, Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond.
Linking accounts to Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond will become impossible after the service ends at 7:00 p.m. on June 30, 2026 (PT)., so please complete the process early if you have not done so yet.
Furthermore, various events are scheduled to be held within the game so that fans can play until the very end during the approximately three months remaining before the shutdown.

Regarding the Response Following the End of Crystal Sales
While the sale of Crystals will end, any Crystals you already possess can still be used.
Regarding the refund procedures for unused Crystals, details will be announced at a later date on the Shadowverse official website and social media accounts such as the official X account (@svgame_classic).
However, if you have deleted your game data via the Delete Account option within the app, you will be ineligible for a refund, so please wait for further news without deleting your account.
Since the Premium Pass for Battle Pass Season 23 will become unavailable for purchase due to the suspension of Crystal sales, it will be distributed to all users at the start of Battle Pass Season 23.
Additionally, after 11:00 a.m. on April 1, 2026, the sale of the Throwback Rotation Card Pack Set—which guarantees a leader skin upon the third purchase and can be bought for 1,000 Crystals—will be discontinued.
Other various campaigns are scheduled to be announced in future notices.
Let's play Shadowverse until the very end during these final three months.
