Chocotto Land is shutting down in 2027 after about 20 years online

ENSAPIA Tokyo has announced that Chocotto Land and its mobile version, Chocotto Land SP, will end service on March 29, 2027. The Japanese casual fantasy MMORPG first entered pre-launch in 2006 before its official 2007 release, putting its full run at roughly two decades.

The studio said the shutdown is tied to the game’s aging infrastructure. According to the announcement, the team looked into moving Chocotto Land to a newer system, but years of updates and additions had made the game’s internal structure too complicated to migrate in a practical way. ENSAPIA Tokyo did not point to financial performance as the reason.

Chocotto Land built a long life around simple pixel-art online RPG play across PC and mobile, with new classes, job-change systems, maps, enemies, features, and regular events added over the years. For a lot of Japanese players, it’s a game they remember from childhood.

Before service ends, ENSAPIA Tokyo plans to launch a memorial website covering the game’s history, along with a memorial app featuring designs from Chocotto Land. The company is also preparing partial refunds for some items.
