Supertrick Games and GunHo Online Entertainment have announced that services for Deathverse: Allow it to Die, a battle royale spin-off of 2023’s Let It Die, are being suspended after just 4 months.
In your blog post published today (January 6), developer Supertrick Games shared that Deathverse: Let It Die will be taken offline in July 2023, although the studio intends to “redevelop” the game for an eventual relaunch.
In the post, Supertrick Games acknowledged “challenges” with the game which have been present from launch, including issues with matchmaking and lag – two topics that are frequently mentioned within the ‘Mixed’ player reviews for that game on Steam.
“In the end have tried various solutions to some extent of success, we've not had the opportunity to solve the actual problems,” wrote the studio. “Consequently, the development and operations teams make the choice to temporarily suspend the game's services in the end redevelop Deathverse: Let It Die.”
“This was a hard decision for all of us to create,” continued your blog post. “However, we feel that re-releasing the sport with significant improvements will allow so that it is enjoyed with a wider audience as well as our current players.”
Deathverse: Allow it to Die servers is going to be suspended on July 18 and subsequently, planned content for Deathverse’s third season will only be “partially” launched. No date has been announced for the planned re-launch of Deathverse, and servers will be suspended just 10 months after the game launched in October 2023.
“Considering how much time goes into developing a game -and that there's a finite quantity of games one can possibly make in a lifetime -it's impossible to say at this time whether this is the right choice,” shared Supertrick Games. “But we love this game and therefore are proud to have developed it together together. Therefore, we feel this is the most effective decision at the moment.”
It’s not the only battle royale to struggle recently – in November, Improbable announced that Scavengers would be shut down without ever leaving Early Access.
