Action RPG without success
What did the developers announce? On the official game website and on Steam, the following message can be read:
Greetings, Champions!
We would like to inform you that the journey of Champions of Titan at IDC/Games will soon come to an end.
The game servers and the Champions of Titan Store Page on Steam will close on August 31.

Message from IDC/Games
The hack ‘n slash Champions of Titan will therefore be shut down on August 31.
What are the reasons for the shutdown? The developers do not provide reasons, but looking at the player numbers via Steamcharts, it is quite evident why the servers are being shut down. In the past 30 days, only an average of 0.7 players played simultaneously.
Furthermore, players on Steam report issues. For example, some NPCs are invisible, items do not appear, and other bugs prevent game progress.
Champions of Titan already struggled with problems from the beginning. The action RPG originally launched in 2017 under the name Wild Buster, which MeinMMO author Patrick Freese looked at in a preview test. In early 2018, accusations arose that the studio was manipulating game ratings, resulting in it being banned from Steam.
In the summer of 2018, the hack and slash made a comeback under the new name Champions of Titan. However, success remained limited, as can be seen on Steamcharts. Therefore, the shutdown of the action RPG is now taking place.
