Deathverse: Let It Die Is Shutting Down In July Just Three Months After Its Launch
Deathverse: Let it Die is the latest addition to our list of ominously named games as GungHo Online Entertainment announces that it’s letting the free-to-play multiplayer survival action game die in July, just three months after it first launched.
The publisher cited their inability to resolve the matchmaking problems and lag that plagued the game as the primary reason for the game’s closure.
“There is no doubt that we experienced some challenges since the launch of our game, particularly with regards to in-game matchmaking and lag,” said GungHo. “While we have tried various solutions to some degree of success, we have not been able to resolve the underlying problems. As a result, the development and operations teams have made the decision to temporarily suspend the game’s services while we redevelop Deathverse: Let it Die.”
The servers are scheduled to be taken offline on July 18th and premium currency purchases will be disabled on February 7th, but we might just see it return at some point in the future.
“We will be doing our utmost to prepare for the re-release so that our current community can enjoy the game alongside many more new players in the future,” said the publisher. “We believe that re-releasing the game with significant improvements will allow it to be enjoyed by a wider audience as well as our current players.”
“Considering how much time goes into developing a game–and that there’s a finite number of games one can possibly make in a lifetime–it’s impossible to say at this stage whether this is the right choice,” GungHo added. “But we love this game and are proud to have developed it together as a team. Therefore, we believe this is the best possible decision at this time.”
