GungHo Online Entertainment and Supertrick Games announced services for Deathverse: Let It Die will be suspended starting on July 18. The studio plans to “redevelop” the online action game and make major improvements.
According to GungHo Online Entertainment, Deathverse: Let It Die will be redeveloped to fix underlying issues involving in-game matchmaking and lag. As a result, the game’s online services will be suspended as the team enters the redevelopment phase.
All sales of the Death Metal in-game currency cease on February 7, so players should use any remaining currency before July 18. Deathverse: Let It Die Season 2 content will release as originally intended. Season 3 content will be partially released due to the impending shutdown of services, however.
The full message is available below via Supertrick Games:
To all of our players,
Thank you so much for your constant support of Deathverse: Let It Die.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who enjoys and enriches the game and its community.
There is no doubt that we experienced some challenges since the launch of our game, particularly with regards to in-game matchmaking and lag. We deeply apologize for these issues that may have caused an inconvenience to our players.
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.
This was a difficult decision for us to make. However, 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. 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.
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.
We greatly appreciate your understanding and support.
Lastly, Deathverse: Let It Die is available now for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
