Rumbleverse, the superhero battle royale from Epic Games and Iron Galaxy, is officially being turn off on 28 February 2023, after just seven months functioning. The end of Rumbleverse Season Two will mark the sunset for the whole game, with access set to be cut off at 10:00 am CST for all active players.
The game’s final update goes survive 1 February 2023, and also the item store will subsequently close. All premium features and cosmetics is going to be available to everyone for the following month, with all XP gains doubled to help unlock new ranks, until the services are closed.
Anyone who has spent cash on Rumbleverse will be refunded following this date. This includes anybody who purchased the Rumbleverse Battle Pass or any Brawlla Bills for in-game cosmetics.
‘There is still fun we can have together before the sun sets on Grapital City,’ Iron Galaxy said in the sunset announcement. ‘The remaining weeks is a chance to celebrate the competitive spirit you've brought to farmville. There will be more livestreams to experience some games with the developers and let them pull the curtain to share some behind-the-scenes moments from the creative process that built this city.’
Rumbleverse only launched in August 2023, and while it remained fairly quiet during its tenure, the action and gameplay of this superheroic battle royale brawler was extremely fun.
‘When you are going through the city, flying high, and tracking down the next opponent, Rumbleverse is an extremely stylish, punchy battle royale game that uses its theming and combat to great impact. This Fortnite-like certainly has potential – but it needs a better advantage prior to it being crowned champ,’ we wrote from the experience on launch.
Unfortunately, the writing appeared to be on your wall, even in the game’s initial phases. Waiting for times between matches were fairly catastrophic throughout its run, and it appeared only a number of players were bobbing round the game’s servers. Its insufficient popularity compounded the issue – fewer players meant longer wait times, which resulted in more frustration.
While not directly mentioned as the cause for the sunsetting by Iron Galaxy, it will appear Rumbleverse failed to find a passionate audience to help keep the action going. Consequently, the sport will summary and disappear forever.
‘This project has been a labor of affection to produce a new experience in a well known and highly competitive genre for games,’ Iron Galaxy said. ‘ If you have been a part of that journey, we thanks – whether you jumped in to the first playtest after our reveal, or just shot yourself too much of the cannon for the first time.’
Rumbleverse will be turn off on 28 February 2023 at 10:00 am CST. Once live service ends, the game will no longer be around.
