In very recent news (so recent it’s only an hour old) the makers of free-to-play MOBA game Dawngate have announced that they are no longer planning on continuing the development of the game.

A post from Matt Bromberg, Group General Manager that was put up on the game’s website, and quickly reposted to the game’s sub-Reddit announced this to the game’s community saying that while Keystone Games had entered into the project with “great hopes and expectations” about Dawngate they ultimately weren’t seeing the progress they’d hoped for.

Dawngate was a new genre for Electronic Arts for whom Keystone is a part of, and the game has been in beta for around 18 months, with 6 of those being an open beta. Feedback from the players had resulted in some growth for the game but not enough for Keystone to justify continuing further with it.

The game will continue to run for another 90 days now, with refunds being given to all players who spent money during the beta period – most should be processed and done within the next 10 days.

They finished the post by thanking the community for their support and recognised the skills and talents of the team who had worked on the game, calling it a “labour of love”.
