The team behind the PvPvE action game Dungeonborne, drawing inspiration from the acclaimed Dark and Darker, has announced the cessation of support for the game and the impending closure of its servers. Launched with high hopes, Dungeonborne unfortunately did not manage to maintain a steady player base throughout its brief lifespan of less than a year. The primary reasons cited for the game's decline include persistently low player engagement and a noticeable absence of substantial updates that could have rekindled interest.
Although Dungeonborne remains listed on Steam, it has been removed from the platform's search results and can only be accessed through a direct link. While the developers have not officially disclosed the reasons behind the decision to shut down, it's evident that the dwindling player numbers were a critical factor. By the end of 2024, the game struggled to maintain more than 200 concurrent players, and in the weeks leading up to the announcement, this figure plummeted to a mere 10-15 players daily.
The final chapter for Dungeonborne is set to close on May 28, with the permanent shutdown of its servers. This marks the end of a journey that, despite its initial promise and appeal to fans of the genre, ultimately fell short of fulfilling its potential. As the servers go offline, Dungeonborne will become a memory of what could have been in the world of gaming.
