  • Shadowverse will end service on June 30, 2026 at 7 p.m. PT and 10 p.m. ET, according to Cygames’ announcement.
  • Crystal purchases stopped after the March 24 maintenance, existing crystals still work, and guidance on unused currency will be posted later.
  • Battle Pass Season 23 begins March 31, and every player will receive the Premium Pass for the final season.
  • After the shutdown, players will no longer be able to link original Shadowverse accounts to Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond.
