- DanChro services will conclude on September 29th.
- The second anniversary content launches on July 30th.
- Regular in-game events will proceed as scheduled.
The action RPG *Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?: Battle Chronicle* (DanChro) is officially ending service this September, two years after its global debut. Today, the directors announced the shutdown, stating the common reason of being unable to sustain a service quality that meets player expectations.
DanChro launched in August 2023 with over one million pre-registrations and swiftly surpassed three million downloads. Leveraging the popular DanMachi IP and consistent content updates, the game delivered a vibrant mix of 3D combat and character collection. Yet, it now joins a growing list of gacha-based mobile titles that have shut down despite promising launches.
In its final phase, DanChro will debut a Second Anniversary event on July 30th, featuring an original story written by series creator Fujino Omori. This will be the last new content added to the game. Sales of the premium currency, Selas, will cease following maintenance on that date. The game and all customer support will permanently end across all platforms by late September.
With dominant titles like Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Blue Archive capturing a massive share of player engagement and spending, it's increasingly difficult for games like DanChro to maintain a stable audience. Unless developers innovate or establish unique niches, more mid-tier gacha RPGs may meet a similar end.
DanChro's final shutdown is set for September 29th. Players have until then to spend any remaining Selas, participate in the second anniversary celebration, and enjoy all other events rolling out in the coming months. The full schedule is available on the official website.
