EA’s DOTA 2 and League of Legends competitor Dawngate is to be shut down. The Waystone Games-developed title first entered open beta in April 2014 but now its days are numbered. Waystone’s manager Matthew Bromberg released a statement saying:
”Today, I have the unenviable task of announcing that we’ve decided to stop development of Dawngate.
I know this is disappointing news for our community, which has been so supportive and loyal. To all of you who have graciously given us your time and valuable feedback during our beta period, we’d first like to thank you.”
Bromberg explained the decision by saying that both developer and publisher had not seen the growth of the game they has expected. As such, Dawngate will run for 90 days more before it is shut down for good. Any and all money that players spent during the beta will be fully refunded. Bromberg finished his statment by saying:
”On behalf of the entire team at Waystone Games and EA, I want once again to thank all our players for being part of this journey. Your straight-up feedback and the friendly reception we received all over the world at events was extremely encouraging and important to us. We appreciate it.”
