Developer Hi-Rez Studios is closing down two of its titles.
In identical posts on their Steam pages, the company revealed that Divine Knockout and Realm Royale Reforged are being shut down on February 17th, 2025. At that point, Hi-Rez will be removing the games from digital platforms.
This comes in the wake of the company announcing that it was making an unspecified number of layoffs at the start of October.
“This news has a real human impact at a tough time for workers in this industry. Each impacted individual is a talented and dedicated professional who has poured their heart and soul into our games,” CEO Stewart Chisam said.
“Letting them go is a heartbreaking decision, reflects a failure in my leadership, and one for which I take personal accountability. These are all good people who contributed positively to the company; none should view this as a personal failure. I extend my deepest thanks to them for their contributions to the company and their role in helping entertain and bring joy to millions of players.”
