Rumbleverse could close its servers at the end of February

Games-as-a-service proposals are starting to falter in general terms. There aren’t a few successes that have already announced their closure, like recently the mega project that Marvel’s Avengers dragged on or directly resounding failures without a fix like Anthem. And the question begins to no longer be whether the game is good or not, but whether it has found its right audience. Maybe that’s what happened to the Rumbleverse, a very powerful bet, but for some reason it didn’t grow as expected. However, Tom Henderson’s statement surprises us.

This morning, as we mentioned, the famous Tom Henderson, responsible for the site “Insider Gaming”, claimed on Twitter that the Rumbleverse would end at the end of February. So no hot rags. In fact, when asked about the “source”, he says that it is not necessary, the notice will arrive shortly and an official statement will be made. Of course, we can’t believe that’s true, but Henderson’s record speaks for itself.

Rumbleverse would be the first victim of the year

With so many emerging competitors and a great wave of record-breaking surprises on Steam, the fact that Rumbleverse is limited to the Epic Games Store on PC is a double-edged sword for this type of title that lives on a wide community that encourages speech. of mouth. The title, created by Iron Galaxy, the studio that was also behind the second and third seasons of Killer Instinct for Xbox, didn’t get bad reviews, but judging by the result, it can’t. – not be well taken off.

What catches our attention is that it has only been 6 months since its launch last August. Are they going to give it up so soon? We will have to be attentive in case Henderson’s assertion becomes true or perhaps it is a matter of confusion.
