Epic Games' Rumbleverse to shutdown in less than a year - Final server live date, refunds, and more
Epic Games is shutting down Rumbleverse following the less-than-desirable performance of the free-to-play title within a year since its release. This will be disappointing news for all those who have invested their time and money in the game. Unfortunately, it will also be frustrating for the publishers, who have failed to recreate the same success they have found with games like Fortnite.
After the title was released, fans were excited to learn more about what was on offer. After all, Epic Games has a solid repertoire in the gaming community with titles like Fortnite under their belt. However, it's not easy to replicate such success at all times, and Rumbleverse has learned it the hard way.
There were earlier rumors about the game shutting down shortly after, but the dates have now been revealed. Players have a month to enjoy the game post, after which the servers will be taken down.
Rumbleverse was released worldwide on August 11, 2022, on all major platforms, including the next-gen consoles. It looked like an exciting concept, and Epic Games pushed aggressively to make it a success like some previous projects. Unfortunately, the same publishers decided to pull the game down six months later.
February will be the last month the game will be available to fans. All game modes and the content will be open until February 28, after which the servers will be shut down. Since the game is entirely online, it will also mean the official closure of the game.
The official announcement was made by Epic Games in an official post, which is available on the game's website. The developers have uploaded a final piece update which is now available in the game. All the content will also be available to players if they decide to play the game.
