Games whose death was already decided for 2022
As in every year, deaths for the future were also announced in 2022. Among them is a Battle Royale that couldn’t hold its ground long on the market.
Spellbreak
What kind of game is it? Spellbreak is a Battle Royale with some innovative ideas. You don’t fight with firearms like in Fortnite or PUBG, but use magic. You collect items like runes, boots, or belts, as well as powerful spell gloves that provide you various abilities.
In Spellbreak, your mages can fly, summon storms, hurl burning boulders, or create ice walls. The limits of imagination are virtually non-existent. It was released for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and the Switch and received pretty good reviews. On Steam, it achieved 85% positive ratings.
However, player numbers remained low overall, leading to its announced closure.
When will it be shut down? The game is expected to shut down in early 2023. There is no specific date for the closure yet.
