MOBA was brought back to life only to be killed again

Can an online video game die twice? Yes, apparently. Paragon: The Overprimea competitive online multiplayer game based on resources and designs featured in Epic’s previously killed original Paragonwill close in April.

A short part of the story. Paragona futuristic third-person MOBA from Epic, which was released in Early Access in 2016. Although many, including myself, enjoyed the online game, it was not a huge success. Epic has made optimizations and improvements Paragon

a little after the start, but then a little video game called Fourteen days happened and the company focused most of its resources about the evolution of the popular battle royale into the juggernaut it has become. In 2018, Epic officially announced this shut down Paragon. But it also revealed some cool news: All assets that have been taken care of Paragon should be free to use for all Unreal developers. What followed were a few different attempts at replication Paragon, including one from Netmarble, which was actually able to get permission to use the original name and trademark. Unfortunately, Paragon: The Overprime

– launched in December 2022 – will also be discontinued.

On February 21stNetmarble – the studio behind it Overpime– announced that the revived MOBA will be closing on April 22, 2024. (Coincidentally the original Paragon (Servers shut down on April 26, 2018.) Starting today, players will no longer be able to purchase in-game content with real money.

In the message confirming the shutdown, the team is behind it Paragon: The Overprime thanked players for all the “love and support” they had shown the game since 2022.

“After careful consideration, we have come to the conclusion that we cannot provide a stable and satisfactory service in the future,” Netmarble said. “For this reason, we have decided to close the service on Monday, April 22, 2024.”

“We deeply regret the unexpected and unfortunate termination of service.

We deeply appreciate the encouragement and support you have given us so far despite our shortcomings. We at Paragon: The Overprime Thank you so much for all the love you have shown us.”

Will someone else try to revive? Paragon again? Perhaps. But at this point, I’m not sure fans will be too excited, as they’re simply worried that death is just around the corner again.
