A life that doesn’t end isn’t a life worth living, and perhaps the same could be said of… adventure? It turns out the real rewards were the bonds we made along the way, which is good news because service is about to end for the Dragon Quest the Adventure of Dai: A Hero’s Bonds mobile game.
According to an end of service notice on the official website, A Hero’s Bonds will be closing down on April 26, 2023 at 8:00pm Pacific Time.

The announcement features an end of service roadmap, which starts with the discontinuation of Red Gem sales on January 25—any Red Gems players already purchased can be used until service ends—and also includes the end of Item Pack sales and Gold Pass sales on the same day
On January 29, automatic Gold Pass renewals will be disabled. You can read more about the timeline on the website, and check out the rest of the end of service announcement below.
We, the development team, would like to offer our apologies to all our players for the sudden nature of this news.
Since the game first launched on 2021/9/27, our goal has always been to offer our players the most satisfying and varied experience possible. However, following discussions on the challenges and practicalities of delivering this same standard in the future, we have made the very difficult decision to end the service.
We would like to offer our sincere thanks to all our players for your comments and support up until now.
You can currently stream the Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai anime on Crunchyroll, which describes the series like so:
The world that was once afflicted by Hadlar, the Dark Lord, has regained peace in the hands of a swordsman called the “hero” and his companions. Delmurin Island became a place where monsters released from the Dark Lord lived.
Dai, who is the only human on the island and longs to be a hero, lives in peace with the monsters. However, that life completely changes with the resurrection of the Dark Lord Hadlar. With promises from teachers, encounters with friends, and a destiny that cannot be escaped… In order to save the world, the adventure of Dai and his quest to be a hero begins!
