Lemnis Gate only debuted in September 2021, but publisher Frontier Foundry has confirmed that the live-service shooter will be taken offline in July.

In a brief statement posted to the game's Steam page – the first update posted by developer Ratloop Games since December 2021 – the team thanked players for "all your support" thus far, and said it shared news of the game's closure "with sadness".

"From April 11 2023, Lemnis Gate will be removed from sale on all platforms. However, we will be keeping the multiplayer servers online so you can all continue to enter the loop until July 11 2023, at which point they will be closed. Console players will still be able to access local multiplayer and training modes, however, PC players will be unable to play beyond that point."

That's right – whilst PC players will be unable to play the game at all from July 11, console players should still be able to play local multiplayer and training modes after the July shutdown period.

At the time of writing, there's no information on discounts or refunds, and the company has made the interesting decision to keep the game on sale for the next calendar month.
