Yuki Yuna Is a Hero Smartphone Game Ends Service

The official Twitter account for the Yūki Yūna wa Yūsha de Aru Hanayui no Kirameki (Yuki Yuna Is a Hero: A Sparkling Bouquet) smartphone game announced on Wednesday that the game is ending service on October 28 at 4:00 p.m. JST.

The Yūki Yūna wa Yūsha de Aru Hanayui no Kirameki game (pictured right) launched for iOS and Android devices in Japan in June 2017. A PC version debuted that October. The game is free to play and includes in-app purchases.

The game inspired a short anime titled Yūki Yūna wa Yūsha de Aru Churutto! in April 2021.

The original Yuki Yuna Is a Hero television anime premiered in October 2014. The story takes place in the era of the gods, year 300. Yūna Yūki lives an ordinary life as a second year middle school student, but she's also a member of the "Hero Club," where club activities involve dealing with a mysterious being called "Vertex."

The second season of the anime premiered in October 2017 and aired in two parts: Yūki Yūna wa Yūsha de Aru: Washio Sumi no Shō and Yūki Yūna wa Yūsha de Aru: Yūsha no Shō. The first part is a six-episode recut of the three Yūki Yūna wa Yūsha de Aru: Washio Sumi no Shō films adapting Takahiro and illustrator BUNBUN's illustrated novel series Washio Sumi wa Yūsha de Aru (Washio Sumi is a Hero). The second part is a direct sequel to the first season. HIDIVE is streaming both seasons and the shorts.
