Babylon's Fall to close after less than a year live
194 days. That's how long Platinum Games' fast-forgotten live service game Babylon's Fall has been online. Now, a mere six months after release, the developer has announced the multiplayer action RPG will be closing its doors in early 2023.
Though it's still available for purchase on Steam at the time of writing, Babylon's Fall is in the process of being pulled from all storefronts and will no longer be available for purchase after September 13. Sales of premium currency Garaz are also being nixed. The game will continue with its second season until November 29 before kicking off «The Final Season» which will run until servers terminate on February 27, 2023.
Unsurprisingly Platinum says it's cancelling any large-scale updates, but says it's planning to «implement as many events and other initiatives» in the runup to the game's closure as possible. November will introduce the first of two new Very Hard duels—quests that pit players against an incredibly powerful boss—with Zenon, and then Ereshkigal in January.

Despite all of your support, we are truly sad and sorry to say that we will be unable to continue with the game's service. We hope you continue to enjoy playing
