Girls’ Frontline: Fire Control shuts down months after launch, August 26, 2026

Girls’ Frontline: Fire Control is heading for an abrupt end, with Sunborn Network setting the Southeast Asia servers to shut down on August 26, 2026 at 11:00 UTC+8. Once the plug is pulled, players will lose login access, matchmaking, and the rest of the game’s online services, while account data and character information will be deleted unless the law requires otherwise.

That makes the timeline sting even harder for anyone who spent money or built a roster around the game’s live-service loop. Top-up services were already closed early to stop new payments close to the end of service, but the weekly distribution of 2,000 Diamonds will continue until the shutdown date. Customer support will stay open for a period after termination to handle registrations and inquiries, which is the last bit of infrastructure standing behind a game that is otherwise on a countdown.

The collapse is especially sharp because Fire Control was never a throwaway side project. Originally announced as Project NET, it was renamed Girls’ Frontline: Fire Control as Sunborn pushed it as a mobile third-person shooter with 5v5 strategic gunplay and squad-building strategy layered into the action. Pre-registration opened in September 2025 through the official website, Google Play Store, and App Store, the Android version launched in Southeast Asia in November 2025, and the iOS release followed on January 28, 2026. That is a very short runway for a game tied to one of mobile gaming’s better-known tactical franchises.

For the Girls’ Frontline brand, the shutdown is a reminder that recognizable IP only buys so much time. Hecate Team and Hecate Games built Fire Control as part of Sunborn’s effort to push the universe beyond its tactical-RPG roots, but the game will now disappear before a full global rollout ever really took shape. The practical fallout is immediate for SEA players: progression, purchases, and characters are all moving toward deletion, and the live-service value of the game drops the moment the shutdown clock starts to feel real.
