We actually thought Supervive might need the juice when it was unveiled in 2024. The title wasn’t nice, positive, nevertheless it was “a surprisingly deep MOBA-style battle royale that might be your subsequent recreation for all times” developed by a group made up of quite a few Riot veterans, together with former League of Legends government vp Joe Tung. Sadly, it was to not be, and simply 5 months after its 1.0 launch, developer Theorycraft Video games is pulling the plug.
“Whereas the sport has been out to the general public for somewhat over a yr, a lot of you’ve gotten been enjoying with us for longer throughout our open prototyping section,” the studio defined in an FAQ. “We’re happy with the sport that we constructed collectively, however in the end we have been unable to seize the eye and pleasure of sufficient gamers to maintain additional improvement.”
In a video accompanying the closure announcement, Supervive government producer Jenn Nam stated “an enormous quantity” of gamers had tried Supervive, however most of them stopped enjoying after a short while with it. That is left only a handful of die-hards nonetheless enjoying—at present somewhat over 200, in accordance with SteamDB—which is not sufficient to justify the expense of holding Supervive working.
In the mean time, Theorycraft has not introduced any layoffs because of Supervive ending. I’ve reached out to the studio for extra info and can replace if I obtain a reply.
Supervive will proceed to function till February 25, 2026, after which servers might be taken offline and the sport will develop into inoperable. In-game purchases have been disabled, and refunds might be supplied for any purchases made since September 16. No additional content material updates are deliberate, however Theorycraft did launch one final patch at the moment that features a new recreation mode, varied fixes and modifications, and a closing beauty bundle, which might be free for all gamers.
