Rumbleverse shutdown: end date revealed for pro wrestling battle royale

Rumbleverse, the free-to-play, pro-wrestling-inspired battle royale brawler, is shutting down in February, Epic Games and developer Iron Galaxy Studios announced Tuesday. About six months after its official launch, the game will be taken offline on February 28.

“The remaining weeks will be a chance to celebrate the competitive spirit you’ve brought to this game,” Iron Galaxy said. “There will be more livestreams to play some games with the developers and let them pull the curtain back to share some behind-the-scenes moments from the creative process that built this city.”

The reality is that the entire thing will close at February’s end. Any player who spent money on the game — including the purchase of a Battle Pass or the in-game currency, Brawlla Bills — is eligible for a refund, on any platform. “We will share a FAQ page with additional refund information soon,” Iron Galaxy said.

“It is our sincerest hope that this news does not mark the end of Rumbleverse,” Iron Galaxy added, in a more personal open letter directed at the game’s community of players. “You may not yet have seen the Rumble in its final form. If we can welcome people back onto the deck of the battle barge again, we hope you’ll be there, laced up and ready to take your rightful place in the cannon.”
